Donald Trump Must Beware of Trojan Horse Convention Delegates (alert!)
breitbart ^ | 3-21 | Roger Stone

Posted on 03/20/2016 9:49:23 PM PDT by dennisw

Staffer from a large Northeastern state passed the entry codes for a conference call of five Republican chairmen from significant states this past Saturday. The topic on the table? Stopping Donald Trump. I had to listen in.

These hard-boiled pols know the nomination will be decided not on the first ballot, but in a series of procedural votes by the entire convention to adopt the rules of the convention as recommended by the Rules Committee and the seating of the delegates as recommended by the Credentials Committee. Those key committees are made up by two members from each state. The bosses have been quietly planting establishment regulars in these spots.

The party kingmakers may have the votes to knee-cap Trump in the rules and credentials committees, as they did Congressman Ron Paul in 2012.

The kingmakers have planned to steal the nod from Donald Trump.

Now they party insiders want to make sure they have a working majority on the floor for the passage of their “license to steal.” Republican state chairs are planting Trojan Horse delegates into slots won by Trump on the first ballot to vote with them on procedural votes to pass the Rules and Credentials Reports that will seal the “Big Steal.” This is going on in Texas, New York, Massachusetts, Michigan, Connecticut, North Dakota, and other states.

Though these “Trump” delegates will be bound by national and state rules to support Trump through the first ballot at the convention, they are free to vote against Trump’s interests on the adoption of Rules and the seating of delegates. It’s entirely plausible that a state could seat delegates pledged to support Donald Trump who have open affiliations with other candidates. In California, Cruz and Paulistas are signing up online via CA’s GOP website as Trump delegates.

100%, who was it said in an interview last week the voters don't decide the candidate it's the electors

“But what you are proposing here is a kind of suicide jihad against the structure of the Republican Party which will leave it in ruins, Trump out of office, Republicans out of office, conservatives out of office and Democrats running the country in the biggest comeback upset in political history. They will dominate the national legislature, they will appoint as they please to the court system, they will further their infestation of the bureaucracy, they will fund their NGOs and utterly dominate all our institutions.”

That’s exactly my intention. You claim it’s a jihad, I say it’s “calling their bluff”. I don’t think every R candidate feels as strongly against Trump as the GOPe does, especially at the cost of their own office. I fully realize that my plan is radical but we’re in desperate times here and continuing to elect token Republican opposition is going to do nothing more than slow down the march to tyranny.

It’s no secret that you’re not a Trump supporter. It’s also no secret that you’re in the minority not only here at FR but among the general public.

You may as well remove the “he’s not even a conservative” from your toolkit. That argument doesn’t work anymore. In fact, it’s toxic. Trump supporters here see on a daily basis the gyrations of hypocrisy and double standards you so called “conservatives” contort into with “Trump did this or Trump said that” when if YOUR candidate had done the same thing it would be met with universal glee and acclimation.

Millions of us see Trump as our last chance to keep the wheels from falling off the cart. The GOPe machine wants to keep their place at the trough. Everyone knows this thing can’t keep going on forever as is so if it’s going to crash, let it do it now.

BTW if GOPE screws Trump at the convention it is too late for Trump to run 3rd party

Who says so??? Are independents bound by the rules of the two main Parties???

The party bosses may wish to ignore our voices but sooner or later, the Republican office holders running for reelection will hear about this and I believe they’ll take the promise seriously.

I too will not vote for any Republican in Congress if Trump is cheated out of the nomination...Seems those wanting our votes aren't too concerned...I'd think we'd hear their voices condemning the shenanigans of the RNC...But nope...Their all as quiet as a church mouse...

Thanks for the details.

I guess I should have known there are different rules for different states!

We're able to become more discriminating consumers of conservatism. 1970s there was Buckley, and Goldwater, then Reagan. No one else. In the '80s Jesse Helms and Jerry Falwell. Remember what a breath of fresh air "Crossfire" was?

Then Rush Limbaugh. Talk radio followed. Now there are enough program offerings to fill three stations in a market. Choice. We weren't dependent upon network news anymore.

The Internet. Free Republic, Lucianne and other imitators. Choice.

Print and the Big 3 are dying because they no longer fill the need. Choice.

The RATs and the Pubs face shrinking market share. For now the choice is "None of the above," unaffiliated or independent. Choice.

Give the voter a better choice and they will choose it. It's time.
