Anti-Trump Dissidents Disrupt Convention, Fail To Stop Nomination

Important note to Donald Trump.

These people do not just reject you. They reject your ideas. Conservative Republican ideas. As such, if they hold any positions of power in the Republican party, their actions today should be interpreted as vocal resignations from those positions of power.

If they do not leave voluntarily, they *must* be fired, because otherwise they will tirelessly work to undermine your political agenda, conservatism, and the Republican party itself.

They are asps. Do not hold them to your breast.

If they are elected officials, they no longer deserve one thin dime of party support. Instead that support should go to a primary challenger of theirs who is supportive of both conservatism and your presidency.

Exactly. I want to scream whenever she talks about the ‘will of the people’...and I voted for Cruz!

BTW, it seems that the rule changes they want (knowing they won’t unbind the delegates) have to do with the next primary season - changing the schedule to benefit Ted Cruz.

Again, I voted for Cruz, but SCREW HIM. His minions are staging a tantrum, trying to position him for a 2020 run. SCREW HIM.

They’ve all got this notion that we’ll ‘grit out 4 years of HRC’, and then magically elect Cruz in 2020. Not going to happen.

2016 is what matters today.

I wish they had shown even half as much spirit in fighting the democrats to the last ditch.

Of course, if they had then they would not be in the position they now find themselves.

So, when does paul ryno show up to stoke the fires?

These malcontents already knew they couldn’t win their argument against Trump, and that’s all it is, by trying to change the rules and not go with the vote of the people. They are just trying to get their 15 minutes of fame which I’m hoping will be remembered when they come up for re-election. I gotta give them credit. When they go down, it will be big, bigger than that, bigger than that.......And they will soon be trying to change the rules in the fast food industry. “Would you like fires with that?”

LOVE THE GRAPHICS!! I watched this unfold on live TV and had to laugh! These people are just absurd and they don’t know how to walk away gracefully and cut their losses. They don’t want to give up their lifestyles and they have these delegates eating out of their hands convincing them that it’s all about the people when in reality it’s about living on K Street. It’s about limousines, preferred dining tables in fah-fah restaurants. It is not about the will of the people or they would have backed off a long time ago and backed The People’s Choice Donald J Trump! I don’t think I’ve ever been happier than to see these people smacked down in public, once again. Why Ted Cruz is speaking I have no idea but that’s going to be an even bigger faux pas for these bunch of cry baby losers. It would be fabulous if they just unplug the microphone when Ted took the stage. ....

To witness the DEATH of the GOPee via, ‘We The People’?

‘Tis a Beautiful Thing. ;)

God Bless our Founding Fathers! We have never needed them more than now.

“They are asps. Do not hold them to your breast.

+1 Well said! Exactly!

Isn’t it Colorado where the delegates weren’t elected? Logic would be not to accept their credentials.

Wasn’t Ken Cuccinelli the loser in the VA Governor race?

Did an awful Terry McAuliffe win because of the terrible campaign of Ken Cuccinelli?

He should never have been given any credentials to attend the Convention, the Republican Party has enough losers with McCain and Romney, we don’t need any more.

1. Curious how they never compare the pro-establishment protestors of 2016 to the pro-RonPaul protestors of 2012.

2. CBS told a story of mass chaos on the floor and massive protests of the chair. The story positioned the establishment as the NO voters.

Then CBS showed the floor vote with a massive 95% of delegates shouting NO. The way CBS positioned the two parts of the story, the clear inferrence was that it was the establishment protestors who voiced the massive NO.

But as I understand it, it was the Trump supporters voicing the massive NO against a motion of the establishment.

For Trump to win, the Trump supporters have only 1 choice:
Go door-to-door as happy warriors for their candidate. The Trump supporters must get around the manipulations of the media.

rules can be changed from time to time
but
changing the rules with the stated purpose of denying the nominatinon to the highest vote-getter
is not playing fair

not at all

and I was never a Trumpster

Cuccinelli did some serious damage to his political career today.....

Check my comments on this thread about CBS this afternoon

His career was over when he lost to mcauliff.

Tears of ultimate sadness... Delicious!

Strange movement.

Thanks for the feedback!

I used to think so highly of Cucenelli. That was then, before he made his loyalties known.
Stay with the Whigs,then!
