Not so fast: Defeated anti-Trump delegates vow trouble during the convention
Washington Post ^ | July 15, 2016 | Ed O'Keefe

The Never Trump agitators have been defeated, but they say they’re not going away.

Republicans who failed to change party rules here this week and stop Donald Trump from winning the party’s presidential nomination are threatening to cause chaos on the floor of the national convention next week. Bruised by the way party leaders handled debate on a series of proposed rule changes, leaders of anti-Trump groups vowed Friday to find ways to draw at least some political blood when the party meeting begins Monday.

The options are limited, and attempts to cause trouble at political conventions are usually quickly thwarted. But anti-Trump activists who spent weeks trying to play within the party structure now say they will do what Trump hates the most — find a way to embarrass him.

“If they thought they were going to have the nice, unified kumbaya show, they just completely guaranteed they’re not going to have it,” said Kendal Unruh, a GOP delegate from Colorado who led an anti-Trump group.

And we thought it was on Democrats who acted like petulant children when things didn’t go their way.

Melania - slap those unruly boys and girls up!

What “lies” are you referring to? I don’t remember any.

Cruz dug his own political grave. And failing to ditch that nutjob Beck was a huge mistake.

But go ahead, indulge us, what ‘lies’ about Cruz abounded on these threads?

That settles it - they are all Hillary supporters.

Trump will have a field day with them - it's what he does.....

If Cruz had the character he claims to have.

Aren’t some of these people (unrah) the same idiots from Colorado that took the vote from the delegates? They are out of control and need to be slapped down hard.

100% agreed with all your very well expressed thoughts.
It needs to be said and read by these holier-than-thou Christians who loudly “wear the mantle” but are actually fodder for non-Christians.

Let them take the “log” out of their own eye before looking to trash Mr. Trump!

Thanks, CC Girl.

The delegates from Hillary need to be crushed and permanently shunned by decent people. This should cost them politically, socially, and professionally. What they are doing is as bad as a late hit in football - one that occurs after the game is over.

The typical replies to accusations levied against untrusTED that get shoved back in my face are as follows:
1. Ted Cruz is an American citizen!
2. Ted Cruz paid those loans back!
3. Ted Cruz never cheated on his wife because he is a Christian!
4. Ted Cruz isn’t for TPP!
6. Ted Cruz IS a Christian and a constitutional conservative that represents my values and principles you shit-eating son of bitching God Damn retarded racist liar!

Pretty well sums it up, don’t you all think? Anymore anyone can add?

All of this NeverTrump stuff would end if Cruz would step up and tell people to shutup.

I think you are correct.

At the beginning, I could have supported Cruz. His professed values and mine mesh up very nicely. However, I leaned towards Trump, because he has proven skills that are very important for the presidency, and skills outweigh ideology. Still, I would not have been upset by a Cruz candidate.

Over the course of the campaign, I got to see better who Cruz is. He is not at all the person I originally thought. As it turns out, he is just a sleazy power-hungry lawyer. His behavior in refusing to accept the outcome of the primaries and in the schemes to steal the nomination from the rightful winner shows me that he would be a horrible choice for president, that the only difference between him and Obama is the party affiliation.

[Trump hasn’t even appeared jointly with Pence to make a formal announcement, but you’re already sure his veep pick is a dud?]

PENCE was on Hannity last night. He came off as a solid Midwesterner who will not try to grab the limelight from TRUMP - a team player.
