The Republican Party on Thursday is unveiling a website to educate the media and the public on the rules of contested presidential nominating convention.
The move is the latest concession by GOP officials that the party is close to holding its first contested convention since 1976, when Ronald Reagan challenged President Gerald Ford.

Supporting Cruz WILL NOT GET CRUZ THE NOMINATION. It will GUARANTEE A CONTESTED CONVENTION.
Cruzbots had better wake up... Fast.
If they do, I will in Protest, vote for Hillary or Sanders, and a straight Democrat ticket .
If that happens it will be the first time that I did not vote for president since ‘88.
Go ahead GOP, balkanize the party more. This website will only serve to destroy the party even more. The GOP chair and his posse are the “gang that couldn’t shoot straight.”
The last gasp of the GOP; this is the death rattle before the party expires.
If they do, I will in Protest, vote for Hillary or Sanders, and a straight Democrat ticket .
Not necessary. Just follow the Romney Rule and write in your preferred candidates. Turnabout is fair play in my book.
They are going to pull a fast one aren’t they?
I will never vote Conservative or Republican again. I will write in all my choices.
I will not vote if this happens!
The globalist that control the R and D wing of the uniparty don’t care is the GOP fractures. That does not brother them one little bit. All they (globalists) care about is stopping Trump nothing else matters.
I want Cruz to get 1237 delegates, if not I want a contested convention.
Cruz wins either way.
oh it’s nice they’re going to educate the public on how they plan to screw Trump out of the nomination.
If they do that, we have to get together and define what constitutes total destruction of the party and then execute the plan.
Throw them into that briar patch.
Hillary as POTUS is totally fine with the GOPe.
You haven’t seen them fighting Obama have you? They’re totally fine with him too.
FUGOPE
Anyone who sends money to these clowns is a fool. (not blaming you)
The RNC has become the sister to the DNC.
