Mike Lee predicts backlash after RNC smothers delegate rebellion
Yahoo News ^ | July 15, 2016 | Jon Ward

Lee denounced the result in the room in front of the 112 committee members and a large contingent of reporters, and then spoke exclusively with Yahoo News for 15 minutes afterward in a room down the hall.

In the committee meeting, Lee did not concede that Trump — who is now all but certain to be named the GOP’s nominee next Wednesday night — will in fact be the party’s choice.

“I hope whoever the nominee is going to be this time will in fact win over the delegates,” Lee said. “But rules like this are not going to help that.”

He seemed to hint at the prospect of a demonstration on the floor of the convention, noting that “as we will see in a few days” the “angst” among many anti-Trump delegates or those with serious reservations about Trump “isn’t just going to go away.”

When I asked Lee if there would be an attempted revolt on the floor of the convention, he was evasive, likely because he needs to collect his thoughts and also perhaps keep Trump’s campaign off balance.

What did Trump do to upset so many Mormons?

He didn't become one?

So the soiled diaper brigade having thrown a tantrum in the rules committee now plans to repeat it on the convention floor. Mike Lee has allowed Ted Cruz to drag him down the rabbit hole.

So what “scriptures” are being quoted here? Where do they get the idea that Moses gave them bread from heaven? That would be the Talmud which has a lot of other traditions. If you read the OT , it is very clear that Moses takes no credit for it.

Joh 6:31 After all, our ancestors ate manna while they journeyed through the wilderness! The Scriptures say, ‘Moses gave them bread from heaven to eat.’”

Joh 6:32 Jesus said, “I tell you the truth, Moses didn’t give you bread from heaven. My Father did. And now He offers you the true bread from heaven.

I was glad to see that, even though I would have preferred Newt.

So did I Maceman until I put a lot of reading and thinking into it. I now think that it was a brilliant move. Trump now OWNS the Midwest.

They have convinced their “flock” that a religious minority like the Mormons should have sympathy for another religious minority...the Muslims. As though these groups are identical and should be treated no differently!

Dana, have you looked at the parallels? It is uncanny!

It sounds like the Mormons are planning Operation Mountain Meadows Massacre Redux.

I agree, only this time they are up against an Army of over ten million 'soldiers'!

I was not surprised by Cruz’s perfidy. That Lee has turned out to be such a jerk has, however, surprised me.
