There are still some folks who talk about it, but among the delegations at the Georgia state convention, including former Cruz and Rubio supporters, we collectively are behind Trump, who has earned the nomination.

At our convention, there were some openings left who were voted on for alternates. Each applicant was asked if they will support Trump by the entire state convention. To a man, they all not only said “Yes!” but were outdoing each other for how emphatically they said “Yes!”.

Besides that, most of the senior Georgia politicians (congressmen and Sen.Issakson) were foursquare behind the presumptive nominee. They probably don’t love Trump, but they know which way the wind is blowing, and it is a gale.

I have no beef with people who believe that Trump has enough problems that they cannot in personal conscience vote for him. I was that man in past elections. BUT, ALL of these folks had no problem WHATSOEVER voting for a guy like Romney, who has been a far smarmier and double-crossing and has NO CREDIBILITY on any issue that matters. Then, it is not a matter of conscience, it is a matter of preference for a certain aristocratic bearing or personal enrichment. THAT is why they cannot get a decent candidate.

Throw in Dole and McCain while you're at it. Those two had "loser" written all over them, but nobody talked about staging a convention coup and dumping them.
