"Conscience Amendment" rule fails

RNC Rules Committee

[dontreadthis]

The amendment to unbind delegates and allow them to vote "their conscience" has been soundly defeated in the RNC Rules Committee

[mbrfl]

That site’s still around? What’s the name of it again? I’m tempted to go have a peek just for laughs. On second thought, never mind. They can just continue wasting away into shriveled up bitter nut jobs as far as I’m concerned. It’s a sad way to end up, but it was their choice. Too much stubborn pride from the lot of them. They’d rather support a liberal Democrat than admit they were wrong about Trump.

I AM SO HAPPY TO SEE THESE SNARKY HATEFUL PEOPLE GO DOWN IN FLAMES! The Never Trumpers remind me of this:

“Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron’s cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.”
C. S. Lewis

He can now do a “Bernie” and essentially talk about how important it is to defeat Hillary without really endorsing Trump.

I liked him too, I remember sitting in the car listening to him being interviewed a few years back. Found him very well spoken and seemingly intelligent.

My guess, the moron part over took the common sense.

[AllAmericanGirl44]

Who are these freaks? What motivates their unhinged hatred?

Thanks for the link, I’ve been off twitter for days - I’ll go have some fun batting some of these nit wits around.

Please cruz, just keep showing us the real you - I don’t want ANYONE to have any doubts as to what a scummy human being cruz is.

THE DREAM IS DEAD: Kendal Unruh’s #conscience amendment goes down with a whimper. No standing vote or roll-call, but it wasn’t even close. Jul 14, 2016, 8:50 PM

Interesting thread there, perfectly demonstrating their complete and utter lack of capacity for rational thought. For example this knucklehead ...

... a Cruzlim who is complaining that their failed attempt to eliminate the ( small-"D" ) democratic primary voting results was un-democratic! How dare they!

And another ...

... so this Cruztard wants to replace the guy who won 45% of the total and 14 million votes with someone who got half of that ( Saint Ted ) or maybe even someone with zero votes ( like Romney )!

These damn millennials are the dumbest SOB's we have yet spawned.

[V K Lee]

You’re not alone. Like you he impressed here as well when he first appeared on radar. Just as Cruz, Chaffetz, Gowdy. impressed. Strange how fast the tarnish appears after being in the spot light a few months.

[nikos1121]

I’m wondering if TEd Cruz’ speech is going to be vetted?
I bet you he gives a Chris Christie speech, like he did for Romney. He will talk about himself, and mention Trump as little as possible, infact, I wouldn’t be surprised if he doesn’t mention him by name at all.

Mike Lee rose in favor of the amendment

That's disappointing. Follows the political meme that one can say anything and then do whatever one wants because representing the Will of the People doesn't matter.

[exit82]

Nope. They got 12.

Even better! Thanks.

As far as I am concerned, Mike Lee is no better than McConnell or Boehner. He only hid the ‘-e’ suffix longer.

Just as Boehner & McConnell said f u the day after voters gave the GOP an historic win (with an undeniable mandate), Mike Lee said f u to everyone casting a vote for Trump in the primaries.

I say this as someone who did not vote for Trump in the primaries. (None of them rocked my world). Trump won the delegates. The stakes are too high. We are at a crossroads. If Hillary wins, our Republic loses.

I somehow stumbled on C-SPAN last night and did an “oh sht” as I realized what I was watching followed by a “did that just happen, that’s hugh and series”

Go Trump Go!

[Eddie01]

Let’s not forget what emasculated beta male douche loser Romney said in his speech against Trump (distilled down to the essence):

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0xd3kr-QpeM

[snip]

If we Republicans choose Donald Trump as our nominee, the prospects for a safe and prosperous future are greatly diminished.

[snip]

If Donald Trump’s plans were ever implemented, the country would sink into prolonged recession.

[snip]

His tax plan in combination with his refusal to reform entitlements and honestly address spending would balloon the deficit and the national debt.

[snip]

But you say, wait, wait, wait, isn’t he a huge business success? Doesn’t he know what he’s talking about? No, he isn’t and no he doesn’t.

[snip]

Frankly, the only serious policy proposals that deal with a broad range of national challenges we confront today come from Ted Cruz, Marco Rubio and John Kasich. One of these men should be our nominee.

[snip]

Mr. Trump’s bombast is already alarming the allies and fueling the enmity of our enemies.

[snip]

I’m afraid that when it comes to foreign policy he is very, very not smart.

[snip]

Now, I’m far from the first to conclude that Donald Trump lacks the temperament to be president.

[snip]

There is a dark irony in his boasts of his sexual exploits during the Vietnam War.

Dishonesty is Donald Trump’s hallmark.

[snip]

He’s not of the temperament of the kind of stable, thoughtful person we need as a leader.

[snip]

Think of Donald Trump’s personal qualities. The bullying, the greed, the showing off, the misogyny, the absurd third grade theatrics.

[snip]

There are a number of people who claim that Mr. Trump is a con man, a fake — thank you.

Let me say that again. There’s plenty of evidence that Mr. Trump is a con man, a fake.

[snip]

If I’m right, you’ll have all the proof you need to know that Donald Trump is indeed a phony.

[snip]

Mr. Trump is directing our anger for less than noble purposes.

[snip]

Here’s what I know. Donald Trump is a phony, a fraud. His promises are as worthless as a degree from Trump University.

[snip]

He’s playing the members of the American public for suckers. He gets a free ride to the White House and all we get is a lousy hat.

[snip]

His domestic policies would lead to recession. His foreign policies would make America and the world less safe. He has neither the temperament nor the judgment to be president and his personal qualities would mean that America would cease to be a shining city on a hill.

[houeto]

Mike Lee called Ted Cruz his best friend.

[DrewsMum]

No it’s not. He’s still a conservative warrior. We can disagree with ONE thing a politician does and not abandon them.

Although I pulled for Cruz in the Primary, I do not support changing the rules the primaries were governed by AFTER the fact. I disagree with Lee on this, but that doesn’t make him my mortal enemy. We have GOT to get perspective.

[Sidebar Moderator]

Mike Lee, closet Hillary supporter.

[DrewsMum]

Raise your hand if you’re shocked.

Media has an agenda.

Media lies.

Grass is green and water is wet.

[jokemoke]

Paul Manafort was the BEST hire ever!!!!

[jokemoke]

What ever happened to lunatic Glenn Beck after Trump clinched the nomination? Things are very quiet. Has he admitted himself to the asylum for the 120 days?

[af_vet_1981]

I'm not tired of winning yet.

May God grant Donald Trump the humility and grace, and us the mercy, to enable him to be our next President and lead all the people with wisdom, understanding, and knowledge.
