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.

Some hyperbole, but when a small group of sore losers is trying to thwart the will of the voters and remove the candidate the voters chose, then it's quite a bit more than just another procedural maneuver.

Much ado about nothing. If Trump had lost there would be people doing the exact same thing. It's politics. Everyone knows this is going nowhere and Trump will be the nominee. It does add a little lite entertainment.

I agree. It would imply serious intent and capacity among the Cruzlim Blubberhood.

This is more along the lines of a toddler’s tantrum.

No it's not, not this time. Did these people really think the American people are in the mood for this kind of business as usual bull sh*t?
