I point this out because once again, we have an example of Cruz's people not getting behind Trump. Based on what I see on Twitter, they seem to be a large block of the #NeverTrump movement. The past couple of days here we have found Cruz delegates in the lawsuit to overturn delegate rules and a high placed Cruz guy at the convention trying to deny a pro-Trump march. Ted Cruz could end this by coming out and honoring his pledge, but he refuses.

As far as this guy:

“Everything that we’re taught as children — not to bully, not to demean, to treat others with respect — everything we’re taught as children is the exact opposite of what the Republican nominee is doing. How do you work for somebody like that? What would I tell my family?” Swander said.

I don't know. What will you tell your family? When Hillary gets in, she'll increase spending and raise taxes. When Hillary gets in, she will weaken the second amendment as much as she possibly can. When Hillary gets in, she will support abortion on demand (1.3 million dead unborn a year). When Hillary gets in, she'll make multiple Supreme Court picks which will swing this country permanently to the left for decades. When Hillary gets in, she won't enforce immigration laws and will enact amnesty, thus meaning Republicans likely won't win future elections. Hillary has a long history of taking money from corrupt regimes, she deleted her emails which she had on a private server (thus putting security at risk), and she has the blood of Benghazi on her hands. Her foreign policy decisions helped lead to the rise of ISIS. Hillary refuses to call terrorism radical Islam and has given no indication of any new policies that will stop the growing threat of ISIS When Hillary gets in, she'll bring in more refugees from countries that have terror problems. If you were a conservative, these things would not be a direction in which you would want this country to go. What will you tell your family? I guess you'll tell them, "So what? The country may have swung to the left permanently and terrorism is still on the rise, but I stopped the man with the mean words. My goodness, he said things like 'low energy,' 'liddle,' and 'lyin.' You're welcome."

Sen. Cruz’ dad and JFK’s assignation may have something to do with this.

I wonder how many of these leeches were even asked. Probably very few. The rest are just beating their chest turning down an offer that was only made in their own mind.

I’m shocked another anti-Trump article from WaPo.

Since Trump wisely took their credentials away...why should FR post their progressive drivel?

Vote Trump 2016

“. But many of the most experienced Republican political advisers aren’t willing to work for him”

I call BS on this. The “best” people may not be the best known people. There a lot of talented, loyal, available people that would be HAPPY to get a paycheck signed “Donald J Trump”!

Who is this reporter (Cruzer) fooling? Not I.

It’s like “whoever spends the most money wins”. Tell that to Governor Meg Whitman, Senator Michael Huffington, Presidential nominee Ted Cruz, Presidential nominee Jeb Bush, and Senator Linda McMahon.

I think many of the aforementioned candidates also had some of those “most experienced Republican political advisers” working for them. How embarrassing, after spending all that money and hiring all that “experience”, just to be dumped, by the voters, on to the ash heap of history.

Here these losers go again with “CONVENTIONAL wisdom” applying it to the most UN-conventional campaign in recent memory.

GO TRUMP! All the way to the White house.

I knew a LOT of pansies like this in OH. They liked Minion Romney cuz he was a “nice guy,” don’t want to rock the boat. Despicable. Has nothing to do with what “we were taught as children.” THAT’S WHY WE ALWAYS LOSE: WE PLAY NICE, and let the country go to hell.

““Everything that we’re taught as children — not to bully, not to demean, to treat others with respect — everything we’re taught as children is the exact opposite of what the Republican nominee is doing. How do you work for somebody like that? What would I tell my family?” Swander said.”

You, Mr Swander, and those like you, are infected with the politically correct virus.

I was taught... if someone hits you, you hit them back twice as hard. I was taught that “sticks and stones may break your bones, but words can never hurt you”. (as in bloody your nose, blacken your eye, etc.) not hurt your silly “FEELINGS”. You don’t let people push you around. You stand up for yourself, right then and there.

This was back when men were men. Now men can use the women’s bathroom. Our president dedicates a monument to Queers. We advocate for males to be girlymen and metrosexuals. We are encouraged to get in touch with our “feelings”.

Mr Swander, and those like you, I don’t think Donald Trump would hire you. He doesn’t want girlymen like you.

I think I like that Cruz's GovCo people aren't getting on the Trump Train.

To be honest, in the grand scheme's big picture, I really don't know what Trump actually is.

When I think hard about it, after a while the Little Feat song Time Loves A Hero starts playing in my head and I give it up and go pick up my guitar.

My working theory is that Trump is a force for good who would work to return US to our fundamental truths.

However, I have little reason to trust the current illusions of our kayfabed, "Made for TV" reality politics that gives evil the open gateways and smooth paths to power over US.

To explain things to my self, another working theory is that we are where we are in large part due to Reagan bringing the Bush Family into his administration. Seemed like a good idea at the time, right?

And yet, since Reagan left the building, we have watched the Bush Family and the rest undo all the good Reagan had done and had set into motion.

Experience has given reasons for me to see the Bush Family and theirs as Lesser Evil's "Good Cops" against the "other" side's "Bad Cops" so as to give the traditional conservatives reasons to drop their guard, lower their suspicions and give their donations, time, support and votes to the lesser evil side of the Uniparty coin.

Now, all these years of the Uniparty's fundamental transformation, I can see how it really doesn't matter which side of the coin comes up at the end of election day.

"Heads they win; tails we lose" no matter how many times we flip that Uniparty coin.

Looks are designed to be deceiving in our politics.

During and after the primary, Cruz and his team have given me reasons to ignore how they have presented themselves past and present to see them instead as just more of Team Uniparty's faithful soldiers.

None for me, thanks. Trying to quit. What else ya got?

I hope and pray for Trump's Divine guidance and protection and that he not make the same VP mistake that Reagan made.

Trump makes me hopeful as he seems to see reality better than the rest, but I've been fooled before...

Well they say that time loves a hero
But only time will tell
If he's real he's a legend from heaven
If he ain't he was sent here from hell

The Washington Post, creating narratives in revenge for being shut out of the Trump campaign.

I live for a day when I get to see the press hang.

Yes they are Cruz people, lots of them.

Just found this even though it is a couple of days old, didn't find it posted at FR:

EXCLUSIVE – #NeverTrump Convention Rebels: We Don’t Need A Rule Change To Stop Trump

A group of anti-Donald Trump Republican delegates is making one final do-or-die stand at the Republican convention in Cleveland from July 18-21.

The #NeverTrumpers are a mix of conservative-movement Ted Cruz supporters and Republicans who backed Marco Rubio, Jeb Bush, and other candidates. They want to stop Mr. Trump, the winner of the GOP primaries, by peeling off enough of his pledged delegates on the first ballot to keep him below a majority, which would force a second ballot

Trump has 1,542 delegates, which gives him 305 more delegates than the majority threshold of 1,237, which he battled to cross during the primaries in order to stave off a Ted Cruz plot to wrest the nomination away from Trump on the second ballot. 95 of Trump’s delegates are already unbound, giving him 1,447 pledged delegates – 210 above the majority threshold. If enough delegates defect to keep Trump at 1,236 or below, most pledged delegates are freed by state laws on the second ballot. Then Cruz – who handpicked many delegates even in states that went for Trump – could re-enter the mix alongside Mitt Romney, Paul Ryan, John Kasich, Marco Rubio, Jeb Bush, and other options.

Can the anti-Trumpers pull it off? Can they really unbind delegates that are “pledged”? It all depends – ironically enough for politics – on the word “conscience.”

Who Are The Rebels?

The anti-Trump rebels include supporters of different losing Republican primary candidates, but the main operatives behind the rebellion are all linked to the man who tried to broker the convention a couple months ago by manipulating delegate elections in various states: Ted Cruz.

More damning info at the link in the title.

Sneaky Cruz is working furiously behind the scenes to defeat Trump with backstabbing tactics such as Breitbart has shown in this article.

Many of the others that Trump trounced are working on this too. Jeb, Rubio et al
