RNC Chairman Reince Priebus tapped former congressman Enid Mickelsen to chair the all-important rules committee during the convention.
Just two weeks ago, Enid had this to say about the presidential race:
Ryan Struyk @ryanstruyk
Enid Mickelsen just named chair of GOP convention rules panel. Here's what she told Salt Lake Tribune two weeks ago.
She has also spoken approvingly of the idea that the rules could be changed to allow delegates to vote for someone other than a candidate they are bound to by result of primary or caucus.
It's unkown if Trump was consulted about the choice.

Funny? Circumventing the will of the American people is funny, stealing a free election is funny?
I don't think it's funny and I'll bet nether will Donald Trump.
Part of an “Elite” movement to take the nomination from Trump?????
Watch and see what happens to America. You forgot that over 15 or so millions of Republicans voted for Trump. They are getting angry, very angry! You should be also.
He’s giving pricks a bad name.
It would be hilarious actually.
If it happens (it won’t) you have to support the Republican nominee to beat Hillary.
Just like people who don’t like Trump need to support him.
The key is to beat Hillary or Biden or whoever they put up.
If they steal it from Trump, then Trump is not all that and he doesn’t deserve it.
That’s how it works and Trump would agree.
Just more proof Rinse is a towel boy. He’s not calling these shots.
Funny? Circumventing the will of the American people is funny, stealing a free election is funny?
Wasn’t funny when Cruz did it in Colorada, Arizona and other states. Some voterless victories, others putting up anti Trump delegates instead of Trump Pledged delegates.
Any delegate who doesn’t vote on the first ballot for Trump like the voters wanted, had better up his health and life insurance. People died for freedom, they won’t like treason.
Ah, so it's OK to steal it right?
And if they steal it that means Trump doesn't deserve it, right?
At our recent State GOP convention I watched as those who were Cruz or Kasich delegates stood up and promised “after the first 2 votes to support the GOP nominee”. .
I have always thought SOMETHING was up....I’ll be watching our delegates carefully
“And if they steal it that means Trump doesn’t deserve it, right?”
Yes.
That would mean Trump lost.
What part about winning and losing do you not understand?
It would be a dirty trick.
This is politics. Trump knows it’s like business. Anything goes and it’s not for babies.
“The GOP-e still isnt taking the base seriously.”
They are not trying to take the base seriously. They are trying to destroy the base.
This is the one world government at play here. It’s the entire world vs the Second Amendment and Israel.
You're saying treason is fine, because stealing an election is treason.
And if it does, well, that would mean Trump couldnt handle it. If Trump loses at the convention like this, there is no way he would be able to beat the even more devious and dirty Democrats in the general.
This is just another part of the campaign the winner has to win.
Sorry, you can’t put GOP Hillary enabling treason on Trump. It’s much easier to win a conventional battle against the Dems/MSM than deal with being fragged by people you think are your allies.
“Amazing to watch a major political party commit suicide real-time.”
Hard to believe, but the Romneys, Bushes, their allies in the 4th estate and others would rather lose to Clinton than support Trump.
If they succeed, the consequences are going to be a lot worse than just another GOP-e loss and the end of the Republican party.
What part of being a big baby do you not understand?
If Trump can’t pull it off, he doesn’t deserve it.
It’s not fair. Wah. Wah.
How old are you?
Trump played dirty, he can’t complain about dirty pool back at him.
Anyhow, it’s not going to happen, so don’t worry about it, but it would be funny if it did.
“Its much easier to win a conventional battle against the Dems/MSM than deal with being fragged by people you think are your allies.”
Why would you think these are allies?
They aren’t Trump’s allies.
You didnt answer the question.
I see the bulk of Trump supporters as people who like to watch TV.
Like wrestling and reality TV.
Not particularly pro-active people.
I doubt they are going to do much except complain and go watch a new zombie show or nudity-heavy fantasy.
Still, I think fears of the GOPe stealing this are not merited.
Smear Trump supporters all you want but it’s clear after this election there are a lot more of them than Cruz’s GOP plantation hobbyist conservatives.
And GOPe convention machinations are not about stealing the nom from Trump at the convention. It’s about creating a divisive convention, keeping Trump stuck in neutral gear and throwing the election to Hillary and her SCOTUS picks. Nothing remotely conservative there.
