Cleveland, we have a problem. A 'Yuuge' problem! 700 angry truckers (and growing) are watching the political developments in the US very closely and are preparing to act. The leader of the group, who asked to be unnamed, warned "If the leaders of the Republican party plan on defying the will of the voters, we feel that that's an act of treason. And I can promise you that they will see an epic traffic jam in Cleveland." He continued, "And guess what, that'll be the least of their worries!"
The spox [spokesperson] was referring to the brokered convetion the GoPe's been planning. When asked if this was about frontrunner Donald Trump, the spox said, "This is about what's right. If your daughter in high school won the class president election by 35%, and the principal decided to give the role to the 2nd place finisher - or worse, to someone who didn't even run, how would you feel? It's not right. It's pure corruption and we're not gonna let it happen. If they try, there's gonna be hell to pay."
The group said that based on the number of truckers joining the movement, they'll be well over 5,000 strong in a few months. They added that they were inspired by Chris Cox and how his Bikers For Trump were defending their candidate from violent protestors at his rallies. - tfg
I don't know. It became legal for Mexican trucks to deliver into the US a few years back. Was a big story for a time and then nothing more about it, but I think Mexican trucks do run throughout the US now, and US truckers do not go into Mexico much due to safety reasons.
You and I both know what he means.
Do you?
Got rope?
I agree - I search and went through about 10 pages on Bing with no match.
Too bad though, it would be great if true.
Trump needs to be careful with this situations. I get the passion of his supporters but this can come back to bite him in the butt. He is going to have to play this just right.
Ted will outsmart everyone. He can finish 1st place if he just keeps collecting the delegates:

You're supporting Cruz?
“No sir it is you who does not understand the definition of treason.”
The Republican Party is a private organization and can set any rules, no matter how undemocratic, obstructionist, revolting and disrespectful to their base it could be.
However, they are not committing treason as they are not attempting to overthrow the government.
In the end, all they are doing is telling rank and file Republicans that their voting in the primary is worthless.
There's a snowball's chance in aytch eee double toothpicks I'm going to Cleveland. If I was, I bet I'd stay within walking distance of that convention.
In either case, a traffic jam would seem irrelevant to me.
This is true.
Give us your Time, your Money, but not your Vote.
Actually, they really don’t need anything from any of us any more. BHO & SuperPACs demonstrate this. Collect millions from corporate and global interests. Hire everything out including fans and protestors. And they can count their votes in Spain or wherever they are transmitted. The cycle is complete and the peeps are out of the loop.
Whoever, owing allegiance to the United States, levies war against them or adheres to their enemies, giving them aid and comfort within the United States or elsewhere, is guilty of treason.........
Not sure the subverting of the selection of a political party candidate by the organization can be described as an act of war.
I support Trump, but understand the the GOPe will steal the nomination from Trump.
But when they do, it will not be treason, but will be proof that the GOP does not care about their supporters.
I like the way this guy expresses himself.
I’ve got my room and will be there. Can’t find anyone organizing any pitch fork toting protests though.
