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.

“Then they need to be arrested and charged with civil disobedience.”

Perhaps they could arrest and charge them with “civil disobedience,” but arresting police officers would be fired, and then jailed for unlawful attest.

It’s time to let it go. We lost. That is it. It is over. Let’s get together and beat the snot out of the dims. Or are hurt feelings more important than our nation and the world?

““If they thought they were going to have the nice, unified kumbaya show, they just completely guaranteed they’re not going to have it,””

Because it’s your contention, madam fruitbat, that if they had only allowed you to bring a floor fight, things would have gone smoothly? Yeah, I can see the vast majority of delegates who now support Trump (even if they have the formality of voting for Cruz on the first ballot) just being so cool with you trying to replace their guy with what’s that guy from Ohio’s name... Kucinich? Kasich? Something like that.

Soros is said to have an entire floor of a hotel reserved for his hired hand “protestors.” Between that and the hacked twitter messages among top BLM leaders (conversations about creating chaos to unseat Trump, with help from their “insider” people on the convention floor).

Yeah, I’d say there’s a chance that Unruh is one of the people hired to work the inside for Hillary.

Why can’t Free Republic allow thumbs up? I so want to boost this comment!

Yes, I was very over the ferocious mudslinging by people who fancied themselves to be Trump’s surrogates. Free Republic turned into an absolute cesspool for about 6 months. But you know what? I got over it. Because I’m a grown-up, and I care what’s best for this country. And right now, that means defeating Hillary Clinton.

Five months from now, if Trump (God forbid) loses, I’ll unleash all the holy Hell the moderators allow me to on what a bunch of idiots FReepers who used such ridiculous lies to attack Ted Cruz were. But right now, I’m studying up on 15 herbs and spices to make the best damned fried crow ever.

And just think: One single man could make this foolishness stop immediately with one little Tweet message to his cult followers.

“Stand down. It’s over.”

He's too small an individual (I cannot, in good conscience, call him a man) for that. He's that one sneaky, doughy little brat who -- when playing cops'n'robbers with you and the rest of the neighborhood kids -- always ended up sniveling and spluttering "NUH UH! YOU DID NOT GET ME! I GOT YOU! DID DID DID DID DID DID DID!", routinely ruining the game for everyone else.

He genuinely Does. Not. Care. whether we end up with the Butcheress of Benghazi in the Oval Office as a direct result of his petty, poisonous actions or not.

Neither do his creepy, cringingly servile online worshipers and sycophants, for that matter.

I wasn’t pulsed and Trump has a record of turning controversy to his advantage. Is that OK with you?

Point well taken. I realize he cannot actually arrest anyone himself—just hope he can thwart any humiliating tactics from these renegade delegates by stripping them of their credentials!!
It is utterly unacceptable how they persist now at disrespecting the will of the voters in the primary season as well as the overwhelming vote taken in the rules committee!!!
The delegates should make a motion to make Trump’s nomination unanimous by acclamation from the floor!!
Time for party unity!!
