CLEVELAND -- Republicans responsible for setting the party's presidential nomination rules on Thursday overwhelmingly rejected attempts to formally unbind delegates to next week's convention, effectively ending any serious attempt to rob Donald Trump of the GOP presidential nomination.
A vote came quickly Thursday night as part of a day-long marathon session of the Republican National Convention's rules committee, which sets the rules of the meetings and how the party will pick its nominee in 2020.
The rejection of the "unbinding" proposal was so overwhelming that committee leaders opted not to record the tally. Trump supporters on the committee quickly exercised procedural tactics to effectively kill any attempt to revive the issue -- and to codify that delegates are indeed bound to vote for the results of state caucuses and primaries...

But we were told #neverTrump had the votes, that Trump was finished, that Romney was the savior of the GOPe...Oh, wait, that was the new york times...never mind.
Someone should start a purge website to keep track of all who have revealed their true colors.
“The rejection of the “unbinding” proposal was so overwhelming that committee leaders opted not to record the tally.”
“Overwhelming”
bwahahahaha!!!!!!
Put away your tricorner tin foil Hats schmucks your 15 minutes of fame ate over now get lost and take Mittens with you.
Excellent.
Trump was not my first choice, but I would be incensed if the “elites” maneuvered to take the nomination away from him. (And he will get my vote in November.) I do not want to be dictated to by a small group who think they own the party and the country.
I want that damned RYno removed from the stage!!TRAITOR!!
Excellent!
They wanted to cancel the will of the people, as expressed in their votes.
Where’s C. Edmund Wright?
All they have left is a fart-in at the democrat convention.
“Convention Rules Committee backs Trump overwhelmingly. “
Mitt and the National Review are deeply dismayed..
Bhhahahahahahahhh!!!
Hey Mitt join up with Kristol and you two can run on a 3rd party ticket: The Very Stupid Party.
I suspect he has his tail between his legs. And I like the guy.
They never even had 28 votes for a minority report.
Their ability to create trouble was always hugely overrated.
True
“Someone is getting Clinton Campaign cash under the table.”
I think you hit the nail on the head. That is most likely the real reason behind the “never-Trump” movement.
People seem to have forgotten this, even though it was actually in the news at the time:
Tech billionaires (major Dem donors) plot with GOP leaders at exclusive island resort to stop Trump
“so overwhelming that committee leaders opted not to record the tally”
A plain lie.
The vote that killed it (a procedural vote) was recorded.
That jerk is in the center of the Cuckservative Circle
Excellent!
Just Excellent!
Willard Romney must be destroyed.
Trump needs to make it happen.
He was a jerk.
