“While they’re highly unlikely to win the roll call vote, the Never Trump delegates hope to at least draw attention to their cause”

Namely to elect Cankles and keep the good ol’ boy network in place.

I thought the Rules Committee already kicked this to the curb?

Didn’t a federal judge rule that the delegates were bound to vote for their candidate on the first vote?

It’s a convention. Let them voice their objections, and then respond 10-1 with people in favor of Trump, and crush them. Don’t pull a Romney and pretend they don’t exist. Play off of them.

I wonder how much Hillary Clinton/Romney/Ryan money is behind this?

Attention to their cause, right. If they are unsuccessful THEIR CAUSE CEASES TO EXIST.

No, a judge ruled in a Virginia case that the state law that could result in fine and imprisonment of delegates who did not vote the primary results could not be enforced. However, delegates are still bound by GOP rules for the convention although the crazies don’t seem to care.

From what I have seen, these delegates are as much against Cruz as they are Trump. I am not sure what good comes from kicking Cruz from the Party.

Romney got his VP. Now he wants his attorney general to get him out of whatever he did.

I agree. This is not the Democrat convention. Let the delegates vote.

I know several of the Texas delegates. They were all Cruz supporters in the primary (so was I). They are all going to vote against the NeverTrump rules vote in the convention.

Cruz lost. Trump won. It is time to beat Hillary.

I want to know who the Washington state loser delegates are. Washington state voted for Trump 66 percent. His appearance in Washington the day before Mother’s Day drew 16,000 people.

I want to make sure that if any of these turncoat delegates are running for office I do no vote for them.
