I hope sanity prevails.

The convention better not overturn the will of the voters.

They finally are coming to grips with the fact that they will literally watch the party dissolve if anything screws up Trump’s nomination.

I really really despise these people. And Cruz could fix MUCH of this by making a very public statement condemning this garbage.

Even if they could change the rules it’s not going to change the outcome of the convention.

Spank her and be done with it. She probably would like it.

Never really a doubt.

Aren’t a majority of these people mormons? Is Romney that influential with getting mormons to hate Trump?

Why are the LDS seemingly so against Trump?

Personally, I would drop the rino replacement and vote third party Trump. Sick of the communists and rinos in DC screwing Christians and free speech Conservatives who voted for Trump. Seems everyone wants to change the goalposts nowdays to win.

The ironic thing is that if they pass a rule to unbind delegates (they won’t), it would likely result in Trump winning more delegates on the first ballot. Right now he has around 1440, or 58%.

Most delegates will want to curry favor with him and more will just want to present a unified front going into the general election.

Both McCain and Romney ended up with 1575 delegates, so it wouldn’t surprise me if Trump is working to get at least 1576 to vote for him. Unbinding the delegates could work in his favor. But it still won’t happen.

If people can’t see by now that the GOP wants Hillary for President, they don’t want to.

Dane Waters was a daddy Bush flack. Bushies still sour-graping up the new GOP: if they can’t have it no one can. Well, except Hillary of course, she’s quite acceptable to the Bushies.

“Never Trump delegates will look to pass a “conscience clause”

What are their names.

No chance on the floor for anyone but Trump to win.

These people just want to damage Trump, as Romney and Rockafeller damaged Goldwater.

Now we have "Son of Romney".

Despicable scumbags all.

Yes, and AlGore used to be the next president of the United States.

Unless I’ve totally missed something, many of the delegates are bound to vote for the primary winner in accordance with their States’ laws. If they don’t do so, they are subject to monetary fines and potential jail time.

Why do some idiots think the rules committee can overturn States’ laws?

Unruh...a TEACHER??? That figures.

Christian? Bullsh*t. 'By their fruits'. and all that. If Cruz gets away with overthrowing Trump, this country DESERVES Hillary.

...and Romney? Damn him to hell.

Hillary and Bill have more integrity than this Unruh woman and Ted Cruz. Both are pieces of excrement...no wonder people loathe Christians.

All I can say is that once Trump is the nominee, EVERYONE who signed that pledge better endorse him.

Or they should be thrown out of the GOP.

No excuses and no exceptions.

If it were up to me, MS. Unruh; you wouldn’t even be voting for anything in the first place. This country has been plunging to the left ever since women were given the vote.
