Yes, the letter to Hack from Chairman Graham was posted on a news website.
Yes, that did pretty much take the wind out of their sails, didn't it?
Manafort knows what he's doing.
The RNC Committee just voted 86 to 23 to adopt Rule 12. Not sure what it means but Mike Lee voted on the losing side.
I would take that to mean this is a good thing.
Cruz’s speech better be an endorsement full on and no “all about me” BS. (see Jessie Jackson introduction as the nominee/ next president)
If Mike Lee was on the losing side, then it’s good for Trump.
Mike Lee, UT and Morton Blackwell, VA made motion to strike Rule 12 from 2012, a rule that allows RNC to amend previously adopted rules by a 3/4ths vote. (I think this is the rule pushed by Romney last time so they could prevent Rand Paul from getting more control on the floor, or something like that. Y’all correct me if I’m wrong about that).
Amendment FAILED, 86 to 23.
Take THAT, Mitt Romney. Hoisted by your own petard!
Morton Blackwell now standing up using words like “outrage for the conservative grass roots” and blah, blah, blah about something else they’ve moved on to discussing. Hmmm... I think he’s a little p.o.’d.
see 47
I saw her interviewed. Of course she thinks Trump is a bad person, but she thinks the party has been stolen and that Trump is going to lose. Her and her merry band of Cruz delegates are going to toss Trump out, install their guy (if Cruz will do it), and then her guy will be able to beat Hillary Clinton. She’s nuts. If she succeeds, what’s going to happen is the party will be dead because votes are useless AND Trump people will stay home and not vote for her usurper. She’s going to see a loss of epic proportions.
Yeah! What you just said! LOL!
He does not give a damn about the “conservative grassroots”. this little cabal is a group of effete elites that are used to electing their own useless idiot and telling the rest of the voters (you) you MUST vote for them you have no choice.
This is all about him or rather for him this is about “me me me me me”
Ha Ha! Cruz loses again!
It seems to mean that the never-Trumpers have at most 23 votes. Not enough for ‘minority report’ status.
There is an anti-establishment cadre too that is not necessarily anti-Trump.
23 effetes who must pay a political price.
BTW I wonder if the “big shots” are not showing up because they are not going to receive any “speaking fees” for appearing.
Mike Lee is with the Mirror crowd
Good link.
Here’s one almost as good (Time reporter) : https://twitter.com/ZekeJMiller
Awful hard to keep interest in the live proceedings: blah,blah,blah... LOL!
Yeah but your endurance is greatly appreciated by those of us too chicken to actually watch. :-)
It’s all stagecraft. They know they’re losing. The question is what they really want.
It wouldn’t be a “favor” — Drudge would always be delighted to run with any tip on such hot breaking news. It would be mutual benefit. But anyway, Drudge was not the first to break the story.
