CLEVELAND, Ohio — A Republican National Committeeman from Oregon warned reporters Tuesday that 2012 presidential nominee Mitt Romney is attempting to foil Donald Trump’s nomination at the GOP convention next week.
Solomon Yue, a member of the RNC’s Standing Rules Committee, made these remarks after the committee adjourned Tuesday afternoon. Different from the Convention Rules Committee, which holds jurisdiction over the 2016 convention rules, the standing committee found itself responding to inquiries relating to whether or not certain delegates can vote in opposition to the results of their state primary on the first ballot of the nomination process.
The Convention Rules Committee is expected to meet on Thursday and Friday. When it gathers, according to North Dakota National Committeeman Curly Haugland, it will start over with the rules of 2012 and their recommended changes. “That’s where we’ll begin the discussion about what we’ll recommend as a convention rules committee to the full convention,” Haugland told The Daily Caller
TheDC learned that at least 28 or one quarter of the convention rules committee might be committed to unbinding all delegates that are bound to their state primary results. If this is the case, minority report can be produced from the rules committee and sent to the floor of the full convention for a floor vote.

TWICE !
I’ll write in Trump and against EVERY SINGLE GOPer on the ballot!
How much damage can that man do to his party and to this country? He rolled over and lost 2012 to obama by being such a weak wimp and now this?
The man is epic
Is he delusional to the point of derangement?
Mit - if you wanted to be president you should have run a decent campaign. Just about anyone could have beat obama.
And you should have called out Candy Crowley for lying during that debate.
Very sad!
Take that down to local elections also.
Jeez, man, just strap your dog to your car’s roof and get out of town.
On the other hand, the court also recognized that it does not have jurisdiction over whether a private organization, like the RNC, can bind its delegates to the results of a statewide contest either. Both Virginia delegates looking to become unbound and the Trump campaign each claimed victory from the decision.>>> any discussion about state law, etc regarding a private organization is hogwash. RNC and DNC use state apparatus to legitimize otherwise corrupt practices. should be stopped. RNC and DNC should not be allowed to use public voting machines and systems to vote for delegates.
Believe it and btw, what career of Mitt’s are we talking about?
Screw Mitt, screw this idiot delegate who let the cat out of the bag - they are disgusting.
What a piece of work...
If Romney had the courage to fight for his convictions, he would have stayed in the political scene after his loss. Once he lost, he walked off the political stage and we never heard anything from him. I have no other explanation for it other than he is a gutless quitter. That is not presidential material.
‘And you should have called out Candy Crowley for lying during that debate.’
That’s probably what’s eating Romney alive. Obama and Crowley played him for a rube, and he’s been ridiculed for it ever since. Romney looks at Trump, and sees a man who would have taken Crowley and Obama apart at the seams, and probably won the election on the spot. It’s driving Romney bananas.
I wouldn’t follow Romney and the rest of these Hillary supporting liberal eunuchs into an outhouse if I had running diarrhea!
