Several GOP delegates working to block Trump's nomination: report
The Hill ^ | June 17, 2016 | Ben Kamisar

Posted on 06/17/2016 1:29:35 PM PDT by Mechanicos

At least 30 delegates are mounting a longshot attempt to deny Donald Trump the GOP presidential nomination on the convention floor, The Washington Post reported Friday.

The delegates hope to change party rules next month to take away delegates who are pledged to the presumptive nominee but who may not actually support him. The attempt comes on the heels of a tough stretch for Trump, who has seen his favorability plummet and any lead over Democrat Hillary Clinton evaporate over his attacks on a Hispanic federal judge, comments this week about banning Muslims and other controversies.

What’s up with this??? They still can’t accept the results of the primaries and caucuses????

Is it really more important for these people, to make a political statement, and elect Hillary president, instead of accepting the choice made by GOP voters all across the country???

And why would we take Hillary’s whores at the Washington Post seriously?

I have been saying for months that Trump needed to pay far more attention to the loyalty of his delegates as they were selected. I stand that statement. I expect the effort to fail, but I wish Trump had such loyal delegates that the establishment insiders would not even try this.

Paul Ryan and the rest of his ilk have not yet grasped their insignificance yet.

Trump should treat these people the same as those who are involved in a failed coup attempt.

Let’s make it easier for the uniparty. Why even bother with voting at all. Stop pretending. Leave us alone.

The MSM TV/Cable/Print is desperate. Anything they are reporting right now is nothing more than propaganda.

No, these are Trump delegates who don’t want to vote for Trump.

Start dropping names. Innocent or guilty, you got a 50/50 chance. Like a meeting of Saddam Hussein upper echelon brass.

I posted this earlier this week. I watched on Fox Business this horrible Rabid Cruz Delegate from Colorado spell out how they are going to this. They are going to change the Convention Rules by unbinding all the delegates BEFORE the 1st ballot.

I had it under Breaking and Front Page but the Admin Mod took it down....must be a Cruzbot. Just saying.

Shameful!

People already voted. They are trying to nullify the will of the people.

Are they all in Hillary’s pockets?

Don’t laugh:

GOPe is in bed with the Democrats for a Hillary presidency.

I agree with you for months. There are many Brutuses or Bruti as the Latin may require, in his crew. I have seen it also. But to whom do you go? And what if they already know who they are?

Almost comic. Trump’s likeability -70 percent but his support is up 10. It’s like Archie Bunker said you may not like Jews but when you need a lawyer you want an angry one.
