Right Side Broadcasting is reporting that the never Trumpers are staging a coup d'etat via a roll call vote

The Cancer on America. The son of Satan. Obama’s grand puppeteer.
BWA hahaha.
I want cruz ejected from speaking. He is a divider— not a uniter. I view him as an egocentric narcissist who has blown away any political future. I want he and his people to leave.
“WE WANT TRUMP”
Cruz needs to have his spot yanked on Wednesday. Screw that little bastard. He knew damn well he was planning this when Trump asked him to speak last week.
I’d like to beat the crap out of Cucinelli. I am watching his maneuverings.
People chanting We Want Trump!
I understand what you are saying. But I think “coup d’etat” is stretching it out as a metaphor. It’s more like a legitimate political maneuver. Ron Paul’s people tried it against Romney in 2012. The Romney people had the guy with the petition for Ron Paul trapped on a bus for three hours so he couldn’t deliver the petition. Apparently something similar is going on this year with the Secretary of the Convention hiding behind armed guards so the petition cannot be delivered.
This is all procedural games that get played every convention. Calling it a coup d’etat make people look silly, IMHO. Even Romney’s people in 2012 didn’t get so hyperbolic. They just trapped Paul’s guy on a bus and didn’t let Paul get nominated or speak. It was a rules dispute too.
Nevertrump loosed the vote? Was it tied up before NT loosed it?
I’m torn between anger and nausea with this betrayal.
Did anyone think the GOPe was going to go away quietly, even though they are on a fool’s mission? They would rather destroy the Republican Party than have Trump. List of names so we can ditch them one by one.
msnbc reporting with glee.
Their coup lasted about 5 minutes.
How can we make our voices heard? He’s the worst person to run for office in my lifetime! Well, I mean in the Republican tent.
Well put.
However they know they can’t get what they want and are just insisting on a roll call vote- instead of accepting the voice vote- because they can.
The outcome will be the same.
Well, except that they’ll get their names in the media which does, and will, make a mountain out of this insignificant molehill.
Oh there 'ol Ken Cuccinelli, frowning and mumbling... Looking like a fool. And... There they go again: "We want TRUMP!" Drowning out "We want a vote!"
LOL, Oh, I wish I was there! ;-D
Has Cruz been actually shown to have anything to do with this?
They did say 9 and fell short when 3 withdrew (for want of a better word).
As recently as yesterday Cruz said he was unwilling to endorse Trump.
That’s what Ted Cruz did.
I agree. GO TRUMP/PENCE 2016!
