NASHVILLE, Tennessee-- Many of the 49 delegates in Tennessee who are pledged to either Donald Trump or Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) will reportedly meet this month to seal a grassroots alliance in which they pledge their votes during any contested convention only to Trump or Cruz.
"My concern is that whether you are a Cruz delegate or a Trump delegate the establishment wants to nominate somebody like John Kasich who has no mathematical chance or moral authority to become the nominee because he has received so few votes in the primaries," former State Rep. Joe Carr, an at-large Cruz delegate, tells Breitbart News. He adds:
As a result of this flagrant attempt at hijacking the process, I have contacted several of the Tennessee Trump and Cruz delegates in an effort to band together with the goal of making sure that the duly elected delegates have their voices heard according to current RNC Convention Rules. If the establishment persists in their recklessness attempt to steal the nomination from either Donald Trump or Senator Cruz, the Republican Party may not recover for a generation.
Others are also speaking out. "I am concerned about the future of our country and I believe a brokered convention will only mean that Hillary will win," State Senator Mae Beavers (R-Mt. Juliet), an at-large Trump delegate, tells Breitbart News....

Yes!!!!
Seems legit. I like it so far.
Sounds like these folks have their heads on straight, at least.
Bump.
Not bad.
Freegards
I wonder if the Cruz delegates received permission from Ted’s handlers (Lindsay and Mitt) first.
Boom. GOPe heads explode, are put back together, and explode again.
...didn’t see that coming eh GOPe?
Keep wondering, King Lear.
Oh I left out Ted’s boyfriend that fat POS Glenn Beck. They better clear it with him too.
Seems like Cruz delegates are smarter than he is.
I’d like to see this happen in more States than just Tennessee. We have had enough of that pig, and her husband, and the Democrat party. They’re criminals. NO I don’t need to be told innocent until proven guilty with the massive amount of evidence available.
Our country has been brought to its knees, and is wobbling with a knockout blow coming up if we don’t stand up, and let loose a haymaker on the criminal gang of Democrats, and their enablers in the Republican Party.
I like the way Reagan said it: “We win, they lose”.
You need rest.
Did Trump's delegates clear it with Fatso and Rootie Tootie?
They don't want to become stabbing victims
You need a new definition for ‘principled conservative’...one that doesn’t include working with the establishment against the will of the people to throw a nomination to the GOPe.
I’m not sure what is worse getting stabbed by Beck or listening to an hour long Cruz speech.
