Whew!!!!

Honoring the will of one’s primary voters IS voting one’s conscience!!!! The mercifully few “neverTrumpers” seem to have forgotten that!!

” Mike Lee must be totally enamored with Cruz - what is he thinking?”

They’re Senate butt buddies.....”My Friend.” Who else will go out to lunch with either of them?

I would think that if a delegate is unable to support the will of the voters in good conscience, the logical step would be to decline the delegate seat and provide it to an alternate delegate who can.

This simply does not seem that hard to me.

Do you have a media link to this story?

According to Washington Examiner this is still being debated.

We just have to keep in mind that the ‘#nevertrumpers’ = ‘#always hillary’.

ANYONE espousing such garbage should be permanently shunned.

Yeah, and the media that trumpeted it knew it was untrue.

Yet another example of willful lying by a Propaganda press.

Erickson. Lee. Unruh. Hoagland. McCain. Graham.

These are all disgraced people who must be shunned at every turn.

I’m guessing there is a reason the Never Trumpers delegates did not
want a roll call vote, but settled on a voice vote.

We may not know who they all are, but you can bet Trump and his
people know who they are.
