Its black outfits today for the mourners of the passing of the #NeverTrump movement. After last nights votes in the Rules Committee of the Republican Nartional Convention, the dream of a nominee with a name other than Trump is dead. James Arkin writs at RealClearPolitics:
A long-shot, last-ditch attempt by a few Republican delegates to prevent Donald Trump from securing the GOP nomination failed by an overwhelming margin late Thursday night.
Some anti-Trump delegates on the Republican National Convention Rules Committee sought a strategy to unbind convention delegates, allowing them to vote their conscience against Trump even if they were bound to him by primary results. Delegates loyal to Trump and the Republican National Committee fought back by proposing a counter-measure to clarify that all delegates are bound to vote based on the primary results.

Here’s the thing...Other than an influence in maybe a certain geographic region for the election, the VP is not in control of much...Unless the president dies, the VP doesn’t do a whole lot except show up when the president wants him to...
Yesss!
A great animated GIF. I love it because you cannot tell where it ends and where it begins. Simply flawless.
#Never Trump movement died a few months ago on Free Republic thanks to Jim Robinson.
There are a few holdouts with tattered fundoshi and bent, rusted weapons, running around eating rancid monkey jerky, worshipping the emperor, and raiding our dumpsters at night for intellectual sustenance.
Now, they become Concerned Trolls posting bs about their deep concern whatever Trump says, does or doesn’t say or do.

“Heres the thing...Other than an influence in maybe a certain geographic region for the election, the VP is not in control of much...Unless the president dies, the VP doesnt do a whole lot except show up when the president wants him to...”
Right. Unless the president dies. That is why the prospect of a VP comfortable with any globalist initiatives is a worry.

Yep. Like one of them in this thread with his clever little tagline.
They just can’t help themselves. Alone and cold man, alone and cold.
I’m a whole lot more concerned about a “presidential” pick than I ever will be about a VP pick...
We have the best “presidential” pick that we’ve had since 1980 this election cycle...
Good one! :^D
Another good one!!!
That’s funny and I don’t care who you are :^D
Wasn't he really pushing Cruz?
Mike Lee is saying its not over, I think he is waiting for Mitt and Cruz to sing in front of dancing Jeb and Lindsay
Mark Levin will need to be on a suicide watch tonight on his show. I tuned in a little last evening and he was still bashing trump and slobbering all over Ted’s buttocks.
Give that genius a bottle cap instead of that shovel, and the picture becomes perfect.
If you listen closely you may hear that guy chanting to himself, “I’m gaining on it. Just a few more scoops and I’ll be done.”
Cruz was right on philosophically, but totally lacking in Trump’s dynamism. Yes, he was.
I wholeheartedly agree with you on that!
There’s always SOMETHING. This time it’s “racism”
“..sought a strategy to unbind convention delegates, allowing them to vote their conscience against Trump...”
This “vote their conscience” line is a load of ordure that has not been excoriated or laughed at enough yet, in my way of thinking.
The idea that these little twerps can exalt their supposed “conscience” above the will of millions of people, and make out that it makes them more righteous, that they are so pure that they should ignore the rules of the party, just leaves me almost speechless.
Hillary is not alone in thinking she is above the law.
Well, he did run against Boehner for Speaker because he didn't think JB would lead from a conservative standpoint.
