Never-Trump delegates launch last-ditch bid to disrupt convention
Fox News ^ | July 18, 2016 | FoxNews.com

Anti-Trump Republicans launched a last-ditch bid on Monday to deny the New York businessman the party’s nomination by trying to force a state-by-state vote at the Cleveland convention on the rules that bind delegates to back Donald Trump.

The effort stands little chance of succeeding, but could pose a major disruption to the proceedings just as party officials were trying to smooth over divisions. The Trump camp is said to be "livid" at the revived push.

‘Stake,’ is Mormon jargon. I couldn’t find ‘stakeholder,’ but it’s easy to see how they could extrapolate it:

stake - A geographical-ecclesiastical unit of the Church, composed of several wards and sometimes branches.

stake center - A meetinghouse of the Church in which the administrative offices of stake leaders are also located.

stake president - The presiding authority of a stake.

Two names I am aware of are Senator Mike Lee of Utah...and Ken Cuccinelli of Virginia...
this is pure insanity. The rules committee did its job. Trump won the nomination fair and square... Cruz needs to publically tell them to stand down.
At this point i never vote for Cruz for ANYTHING...PERIOD
so his career in GOP is over for me hes a Hillary Butt scratcher in my book.

“Cruz wants Hillary to win so he can run again in 2020.”
________________________________________________________

That just goes to show you, despite his ivy league undergraduate degree and ivy league law degree, Cruz is dumb as a box of rocks.

If Hitlery wins, the 40- 50 million illegals in the U.S. will be given amnesty and voting rights. Millions of others will follow from Mexico, Central America, the Middle East, Africa, etc. and will also become new voters.

A Republican will NEVER again win the White House or control the House or the Senate. Cruz is a delusional ass if he thinks he win in 2020 after four years of Hitlery.

Personally, I wouldn’t vote for this deranged “religious” zealot for dog catcher.

Thanks, FW! I was fairly sure it was a term for one of the rungs along their social leadership hierarchy.

One must be a pathetic person to be inspired and emboldened by the likes of Jeb Bush and Bill Kristol.

I trust Hillary more than I trust Cruz, and she’s evil personified.

Cruz has done a great job of wrecking his brand forever.

What a fool.

“Never Trump” is collecting signatures to unbound and force a vote, just to embarrass Trump.

Bush, Karl Rove, Mitt and Mike lee are behind.

I hope Trump remembers that revenge is a dish best served cold.

These anti-Trump “Republicans” are nothing more than Quislings for the Donkeys and Her Imperious Thighness, Hillary.
