"...Dane Waters, the lead strategist for a supportive group called Delegates Unbound that's organizing the group's whip effort, confirmed an internal survey done by the group that found about 72 percent of the delegates they polled — a number he pegged around 1,400 — believe they're unbound, and want a candidate other than Trump."

Oh really? That's not for them to decide on the first ballot. They knew the rules when they signed up. They aren't representing themselves. They are representing the voters.

"I mean, these delegates want the world to know, and this country to know, that not every Republican's in lockstep with Donald Trump."

So what? He won the primary. You don't represent every republican. You represent the will of the voters in your state. You don't represent yourself on the first ballot. Would you say this if Ted Cruz had gotten the nomination and situations were reversed? I highly doubt it, so sit down and do your job.

The article goes on to say that no matter what happens at the rules committee, Waters is going to push a floor fight regardless of whether they get a minority report for the conscience clause"...based on an esoteric reading of the RNC's rules that states that delegates aren't bound to begin with."

The article says Trump has a team in place that is going to fight this stuff. These people are unbelievable. What are they going to do if they succeed? Who will they put in there? How can they claim whoever they put in represents Republicans and the party when the person either got millions less votes or got no votes at all. The only two people from this field I could possibly see doing it are Jeb! but most likely Kasich. Kasich is a big enough jerk where he wouldn't care.

Always remember that NBC is America’s heir apparent to Joseph Goebbel’s Nazi Ministry of Propaganda.

“”I mean, these delegates want the world to know, and this country to know, that not every Republican’s in lockstep with Donald Trump.””

Hope Trump wins and moves Gitnmo to Romney’s district.

Most of this is wishful thinking by the lame stream media.
