The knives are out to sabotage Donald Trumps nomination, defying the wishes of the record number of Republican primary voters who chose him.
Pols who backed losing candidate Ted Cruz are mounting a sour-grapes campaign to rig the Republican National Convention rules. Their goal is to deny Trump the nomination. Meanwhile, in Virginia, a state where Trump came in first in the primary, a lawsuit filed Friday by an anti-Trump pol claims he and fellow delegates should be free to ignore the voters and follow their own conscience when they choose a nominee at the Convention.
Be prepared for more whining and skullduggery ahead, as an embittered minority of Republican insiders tries to derail Trumps unorthodox candidacy.
This unsavory drama will play out between now and the Conventions start on July 18.

May no arrow formed against DONALD TRUMP prosper.
Do these people think Trump is seriously going to just stand there and let it happen?
I think they should sabotage the nomination. Let’s see what happens.
The establishment, who are all a bunch of Globalists, neo-con artists, and open-borders toadies would rather see the establishment Clinton in office, because for them, it would be business as usual. Hillary has already proven her worth to them, she wants open-borders, and she proved with Libya that she is all in favor in never ending wars in the Middle East.
Any delegate that refuses to carry out their responsibilities as they pledged to do so implicitly by becoming a delegate should be replaced and banned from the convention. Its bad enough that we have justices, legislators, and executives that abuse their power without extending that to delegates who are being big babies and want to foist their will on the body politic regardless of the rules. You can NOT be a real conservative and support this kind of abuse of power.
Hillary is also an easy pay to play.
Take names.
Personally, I will never trust Ryan again. Got two fundraising emails from his office. My response was both sharp and vulgar.
Even the liberal media is declaring #NeverTrump dead, there was a story on Politico that Paul Manafort has stacked the rules committee with Trump supporters (by a substantial margin) and their first act is going to be to “lock in” the rules from 2012. What that means in practical terms is Trump has already won the convention delegate vote because the 2012 rules “deem” a delegate as having voted the way their state voted whether they actually show up at the convention and vote or not or whether they refuse to vote for Trump or not. So essentially the convention floor vote means absolutely nothing. So essentially even if EVERY delegate refused to cast a vote for Trump, the convention chair would “deem” him the nominee by the final tally from the state election results and move one.
The only way I will vote for Trump is if the Establishment robs him of the nomination. Then I will write him in.
Otherwise, here in WA, my vote is meaningless, so I will vote my conscience.
That will be the end of the GOP. Do you think the millions who support Trump will just say “oh well?” I think not. You want to see rage and anger, just try it. How about no $$$, no volunteers, no support from the base! The feces will hit the fan; count on it. The will of We The People will not be screwed over by Elitist traitors.
“I think they should sabotage the nomination”
And you think that for what reason?
“Your GOP” working overtime to pull defeat from the jaws of victory.
I don’t believe a great many elites have any clue how narrow an edge their “game” is on. They’ve been getting away with so much for so long that the can’t even doubt that it will continue.
Looking at news stories, the same few names pop up. The #NeverTrump bunch doesn't have a movement. It is an insignificant group of malcontents.
Nehlen could throw a bucket of water on Ryan in August. Then things get interesting.
And yet, it helps Trump so much with independents and undecideds one wonders if the whole thing isn’t a well-staged piece of theater...
How pathetic these people are. Business as usual for them means the country goes down the tubes. Money and power is all these traitors care about.
