RNC delegates launch 'Anybody but Trump' drive
CNN ^ | June 18, 2016 | Tom LoBianco and Tal Kopan,

A coalition of Republican delegates is mounting a last-ditch effort to block Donald Trump from obtaining the GOP nomination by pushing for a "conscience clause" that would allow delegates to vote against the presumptive nominee.

Kendal Unruh, a Colorado delegate, organized a call with dozens of other delegates Thursday night to discuss ways to block Trump at the convention. The group, Unruh says, marks the coalescing of disparate "pockets of resistance" -- including backers of Sen. Ted Cruz, Sen. Marco Rubio and Ohio Gov. John Kasich -- which had been opposing Trump with little success.

The last report I saw on this something like 30 delegates out of over 400 were in on it. I’m from Texas, I’ve met Ted Cruz, though I doubt he would remember me, and was running for a minor office when he was campaigning for his senate seat. I am a huge fan and admirer. However, today, Trump is my candidate and I spit on anyone who tries to undermine him!

They said all along that they opposed Trump. Consistency is the hobgoblin of small minds.

“Must FR keep perpetuating this insanity!!!”

Yeah, I agree! But I guess it’s better that we all know what the game is and who the players are1 But this time, after Trump moves into the White House ( that would be after a through fumigating), that there is a segment of the administration that deals effecitvely with these people who have attempted to thwart the will of the voters!

I don’t understand any of this! The first time I ever voted was for GHWB! That was after many years of serving my country in uniform. Now, it seems so bizarre, that after all the “stuff” we have been through, Romney and his magical underwear followers are doing this “stuff” to Trump!?? I will vote for Trump but will never vote Republican again...if Romney succeeds>

“The media is playing you suckers for clicks.

Congratulations.”

So “Kendal Unruh, a Colorado delegate” doesn’t exist or he is a Trump supporter and the MSM just invented that Unruh was trying to get other delegates to support his plan?

Now they are actually naming names.
