Donald Trump is meeting on Thursday with Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus during his trip to Washington, just two days after he disavowed his pledge to support the eventual GOP nominee. The real estate mogul has had a fraught relationship with the RNC, openly flirting at times with a third-party bid and often complaining about mistreatment from the Republican Party in general and the RNC in particular. The RNC has publicly stated that it would back Trump if he clinches the nomination, but has also said it is preparing for the possibility of a contested convention. Trump’s visit to...

I could not find an online source for this, but it was just announced on Fox News. Trump is meeting with the Republican National Committee. The topic is unknown.

Trump and Cruz camp followers: Come in out of the weeds and go after your candidates demanding that they turn their energies on America’s biggest enemy: Hillary Clinton and the power-crazed Democrats Is the soap opera style Republican primary race really being master-minded by the omnipresent Democrats? With their non-stop, public infernal squabbling, allowing their surrogates to feed tidbits to gossip mongering media, Republican nominee contenders are acting just like Democrats. Can dirty Democrat fingerprints be found on Donald J. Trump, Ted Cruz or John Kasich? Is one of them in reality a Democrat plant?

We found the Cleveland Police Patrolmen's Association president is concerned about what he said officers have heard from federal officials about staffing. "The city’s numbers aren’t jiving with what the FEMA instructors are telling them we need for this, and they’re the guys that go and train for this," CPPA President Steve Loomis said. “It’s absolutely the city’s responsibility to make us as safe as possible.” But privately, those close to the security organizing are not worried. In fact, they’re confident security plans are coming together and staffing shouldn’t be an issue. Nicholas Vroutos runs Nick’s Sports Corner steps away...

The city of Cleveland is seeking an unprecedented amount of riot gear and security equipment for July's Republican National Convention as emotional unrest and physical violence follow the GOP front runner across the U.S. Donald Trump, in fact, has predicted riots if he wins the most number of delegates but is not formally nominated during the convention. It’s a prediction that local leaders have called “irresponsible” and “dangerous,” and one which continues to fuel the narrative that repressive, military police tactics are necessary during the RNC. This month, the city posted a request for bids on a spectrum of riot...

RNC Rules Member: 'Even if one candidate wins the majority of the states doesn't mean they will get the nomination' Scroll down to hear the audio and learn what really is going on and what will happen at the Republican Convention.

A top Republican National Committee official helping to oversee the party’s convention preparations attended a series of private meetings on Wednesday with top conservative leaders – many of whom are bent on finding a way to stop Donald Trump. Many of those there to hear Cairncross are seeking out ways to defeat Trump at a potentially contested Republican National Convention in Cleveland, going so far as to consider imposing rule changes at the convention that would hamper Trump’s ability to secure the nomination. Those familiar with Cairncross’s remarks say he spent much of the time laying out the process of...

Hillary Clinton offered a surprisingly strong speech at the American Israel Public Affairs Committee on Monday, even criticizing Donald Trump for daring to be neutral on the geographic tension between Israelis and Palestinians. Citing her visits to Israel during her tenure as secretary of state, Clinton argued she has proven she is the most qualified person in the 2016 race to defend Israel’s national security interests. "I’ve sat in Israeli hospital rooms, holding the hands of men and women whose bodies and lives were torn apart by terrorist bombs. I’ve listened to doctors describe the shrapnel left in a leg, an arm, or...

Muslim activist group, the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), and the American Civil Liberties Union and others have formed a coalition questioning Cleveland police and their plan to use riot response equipment at the upcoming Republican Nation Convention. The groups will hold a press conference Monday to present their demands regarding the city’s plans to buy riot equipment ahead of the Republican National Convention in July, The Cleveland Plain-Dealer reports. The city received a $50 million grant to pay for additional security, though it is unclear how all that money will be spent. The groups do not totally oppose riot...

There is no end to the cluelessness of those who are doing whatever they can to "stop" Donald Trump. Now the blabbering seems to be centering on stopping him at the Republican convention in Cleveland. It's a dramatic battle plan. Get past the first ballot and then stick someone else in there who is more acceptable. Here is a reality check on those thoughts. If you succeed and do, indeed, stop Trump, prepare to kiss about 40 percent of your voting base goodbye, especially the ones who have been angry about orders from Washington for a decade now. I pulled...

Yeah, as much as we’re all enjoying these fantasy scenarios in which the RNC wrests the nomination from Trump through some procedural chicanery and banishes him to the island of third-party losers, I think in the end they’ll convince themselves that they can ride the tiger. Crown Trump as the duly elected nominee once he has a majority of delegates, be good soldiers for him in the general election, and if he loses as badly as the smart set thinks he will, cross your fingers and hope that some of your new nationalist voters will stick around for the...

The Trump-bashers are starting up a list of conservative supporters of Donald Trump — so that they can blackball these Trump supporters. The list was initiated by Cruz supporter Amanda Carpenter who is usually kind and intelligent but now suffers from a severe case of Trump Derangement Syndrome.

The Republican nomination process may be flipped on its head if a proposed amendment is passed just days before the convention, an amendment that is showing some support among party members. Curly Haugland, a member of the GOP's standing rules committee, sent a letter to all GOP presidential campaigns and Republican National Committee members in November that he plans to present an amendment that essentially will allow any candidate who received a delegate to be placed back on the first ballot. That means even candidates who have dropped out of the race could be considered for the nomination.

Let me begin by saying I am convinced candidate Donald Trump will get the 1,237 delegates he needs, so this outline could be just an intellectual exercise. However, last night on Sean Hannity RNC Chairman Reince Priebus discussed the delegate math and state of the GOP race headed toward the presidential nomination. RNC Chairman Preibus and Speaker of the House Paul Ryan are best friends having grown up in the same town in Wisconsin and attending High School together. Please focus your attention to the specific wording he uses @05:34. Close attention: (direct video link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1h7TBNnEqOE)

Yeah, no. “He was speaking figuratively†is the one argument you can’t make in defense of what he said this morning on CNN. You can say it’d be unjust if he ended up with 1,200 delegates and lost the nomination anyway in a floor fight. Some would disagree, but Trump would have a lot of support on that. You can say that he wasn’t condoning riots as a reaction to losing the nomination, merely observing matter of factly that they’d happen with or without his approval. There’s truth to that too, although it’s harder to give a candidate the benefit...

Republican National Committeeman Curly Haugland of North Dakota sent a letter on Friday to fellow RNC officials arguing that current party rules allow 2016 Republican National Convention delegates to vote for the presidential candidate of their personal preference during the first round of voting, rather than voting along with the will of voters in their states. Haughland wrote in a letter published by The Daily Caller that the party’s Rule 38, also called “Unit Rule,” specifically allows Republican convention delegates to vote their conscience in every vote at the convention. “Every delegate to the 2016 Republican National Convention is a...

The Republican Party is launching a campaign to try to derail President Barack Obama’s nominee to the Supreme Court, teaming up with a conservative opposition research group to target vulnerable Democrats and impugn whomever Obama picks. A task force housed within the Republican National Committee will orchestrate attack ads, petitions and media outreach to bolster a strategy that Senate Republicans adopted as soon as Justice Antonin Scalia died last month: refusing to consider an Obama nominee out of hopes that the next president will be a Republican. The RNC will contract with America Rising Squared, an outside group targeting Democrats...

Truth be told, last summer when Cleveland announced we had won the RNC Convention, I cringed. Don't get me wrong there are many reasons I love living in the Greater Cleveland area, but Cleveland proper isn't my most favorite reason. Cleveland has worked very hard to turn the city around. New business and convention areas, Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, beautiful newish stadiums, etc. and a few higher rent living districts. But Cleveland still has many areas in need of improvement and a few that should raise concerns for what is starting to appear to be a violent election...

Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus insisted Thursday night that the Republican Party would embrace its nominee, even if it was Donald Trump. "This party is going to support the nominee, whoever it is, 100 percent," Priebus said to tepid applause on stage in Miami before the latest GOP debate. "No question about that." Republicans have struggled for months on whether to embrace Trump, the controversial businessman leading the GOP race, or rally around one of his rivals. Sen. Ted Cruz (Texas) is the closest to knocking off Trump based on the number of accrued delegates, and has expressed openness...
