What the traitors are trying to do is change that “first ballot” rule. Instead of Ryan and others embracing this, anyone involved should be kicked out of the Republican Party.
They can try all they want, but state party rules apply, and state parties aren’t about to give up their little remaining power.
In any case, rule changes have to be approved by the convention as a whole. Anyone who thinks such a coup would pass that hurdle has no personal knowledge of the process.
What’s going on is the NeverTrump crowd trying to provoke Trump and followers into doing something so stupid that a majority of delegates would feel they had no choice except dumping Trump.
