Yep lets clear the way for a divisive convention followed by anti-Trump hyperbole.
#NeverTrumpers=Democrats without the D.
If it happens, it will be them stepping onto the political gallows and pulling the release cord themselves....the trouble is that the Freedom of the People will die with their political careers.....
I'm ever more pissed about Cruz and company - looks like he's just another "Rubio/Bush Latino" that sounded good but panned out to be just another hack.
Damn purists will give liberals the court for generations
You have a nominee that has taken out 16 candidates, you have a nominee that has brought in over 14 million new voters, you have a nominee that stands at 1527 delegates; you have a nominee that is raising tons of money for the RNC party, do you really think they are going to let a bunch of ‘no bodies’ like Romney and crew ruin that?
I don’t think so!!!
Appears never Trump has failed.
I hope mike lee loses his seat this year and Cruz in 2018. Two dispicable freaks. Why trump is giving Cruz time to talk is beyond me.
RNC official said. Probably not. I think she goes under the bus. (Another RNC official says despite Cuccinellis realization, Unruh still believes shell have 28 votes. Shes high, the official said of the Colorado delegate.
LoL. Just as I thought.
I voted for Cruz, and my state went for Cruz. Therefore, I FULLY EXPECT my state’s delegates to vote Cruz...as his campaign is only ‘suspended’ at this time.
However, I also expect EVERY DAMN DELEGATE that Trump won to vote Trump.
If I didn’t have that expectation, I wouldn’t have bothered to vote in the primary.
And frankly, if the RNC is going to undercut the process, the states should no longer foot the bill for a GOP primary...since its apparently moot.
I’d never vote for a Mormon. They always have the best interests of Mormons at heart, not what’s best for the country.
Hey these yobs made the rules in 2012. They thought they ever so clever. Well Trump won outright. Get over your own selves
Do what you are supposed to do and move on
Replace little miss kendall
Taking over the government by undemocratic means. Isn't this sort of like sedition? What's the punishment for that?
This story is total bs. Trump is firmly in control and this story is designed to make the losers powerful and important when in fact they powerless and meaningless.
UPDATE V (12:55 p.m.): There is no deal, according to a source briefed on the negotiations, and the Rules Committee meeting will soon reconvene. According to the source, Cuccinelli requested that the first four nominating contests in 2020 be closed meaning only registered Republicans could participate and Priebus balked at the idea.
Rule 5? The witch made a parliamentary inquiry as to determine how to count the number of votes.
NatReview timeline update:
PDATE V (12:55 p.m.): There is no deal, according to a source briefed on the negotiations, and the Rules Committee meeting will soon reconvene. According to the source, Cuccinelli requested that the first four nominating contests in 2020 be closed meaning only registered Republicans could participate and Priebus balked at the idea.
UPDATE VI: (1:05 p.m.): Another source close to the negotiations said there are simply too many moving parts and that Cuccinellis request was not the only reason for a deal not being reached. He says, however, that some discussions are still ongoing even as the Rules Committee has now gaveled back into session. Senator Lee, an original participant in the talks, shrugged off questions about the negotiations. Asked if they would continue, he replied, Well see.
So they are setting up a gimmick-free procedural process ... to jimmy the voters’ choice back to their back-room gimmicks?
And Hillary’s ABCNNBCBS mass media press corpse is egging them on!
What is the rule number to unbind?
The rule group is far more in the weeds than the credentials. Good night. Leave your commas in the parking lot. Grits for breakfast? LOL.
