Unbinding proposal FAILS. So big a margin for "no" that they're not calling a roll call.

Anti-Trump people get crushed at Rules Committee. It was never in doubt: Convention will honor will of people & nominate @realdonaldtrump.

[M. Thatcher]

Saw on another thread the vote was 86 against to 21 for.

Nope. They got 12.

T-W-E-L-V-E.

Folks like Amanda Carpenter and Ben Howe are devastated. Amanda is calling for a new party, and Ben is whining about letting the GOP just burn to the ground. Ben Howe, for the record, is a “principled” conservative who is so mad Trump got the nomination that he is supporting Hillary Clinton over Trump. A few of his depressed Tweets tonight:

“Where most #NeverTrump people I’ve talked to are at: Done trying to save the GOP from itself. #LetItBurn”

“After November, depending on who wins, people will remember which side of the Trump brigade you landed on.”

The filth of Trump will foam up about the GOP’s waists and all the sellouts will look up and shout “Save us!”... and I’ll whisper “no.”

It’s over, Ben, you lost.

What's amazing about how resoundingly never trump is dying is how enthusiastically said supporters were lying just days ago

[M. Thatcher]

This is such joy in victory!

Yep.

And the great thing is, Trump does NOT forget. Those who chose poorly will be basically in exile for at least the next 8 years.

Tettlebaum's amendment, which asks that contact info for Rules Committee Delegates remain confidential to avoid harassment, passes 55-46.

On June 24, 2016, Free The Delegates Super PAC was officially formed. Kendal Unruh acts as spokesperson and Regina Thomson is the Executive Director.[13]

Texas financier Chris Eckstrom, founder of Courageous Conservatives PAC, a PAC that supported the Ted Cruz presidential campaign, and political consultant Steve Lonegan of New Jersey are assisting with the efforts of Free The Delegates Super PAC.[14][15]

LEAK !!! This is bull crap. We have a right to know!!

[KentTrappedInLiberalSeattle]

I'd like to offer this is solemn, sincere sympathy for all the poor little radical Cruzlims out there tonight, all a-sniffle over their chosen boy-messiah's latest (and humiliatingly public) abject failure:

;)

[mkjessup]

Well I hope those fools enjoyed getting the Trump Corn Cob rammed up their rectal orifices.

[jennychase]

lol

[Salvation]

Glad this failed. Let the representatives represent how the voters in their states voted!

[KentTrappedInLiberalSeattle]

What’s amazing [...] is how enthusiastically said supporters were lying just days ago”

That shouldn't surprise anyone, considering. ;)

[Windflier]

“soundly defeated”

As it should have been. Thank you, rules committee.
