Attempts to unbind GOP delegates crushed, effectively ending ‘Never Trump’ movement

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...

This "Nevertrump" stuff was Uniparty psyops projected through the media. Lots of wind & fury signifying nothing. Mitty can crawl back under his rock while Beck shrieks into a microphone.

I heard he wrote a book. He told me. Several times. What an insufferable prig. (I think his mom bought all the copies)

I’m a bit worried they might just stage a Hail Mary attack at the convention and strap on suicide vests.

[Gene Eric]

Ostracize the Tory bastards. No offense to the UK.

[goldstategop]

If they want to commit suicide, fine with me.

Hopefully, we won’t hear from them again, now that Trump is going to be the GOP nominee.

“Willard Romney must be destroyed.”

True. But is’s no coincidence that the nevertrump votes in the committee all came from Cruz cronies.

It’s also no coincidence that Cruz never disbanded his campaign team, still has people on the payroll and still sends out e-mails begging for money.

He is a carnal and hubristic man. Sanctimony is not the same as sanctity.

[tumblindice]

Whatever the topic he was always in high dudgeon.

[ak267]

Cruz who?

Romney who?

Good.

Oh so sorry compost!

You should see the pouty little Cucks over on Twitter, trying to pretend they didn’t just get handed their butts.

[AndyTheBear]

The wash post was feeding the nevertrumpees false hopes with previous stories about it being a real possibility....I don’t want to push the nevertrumpers into coming around before they are ready to...but I sure hope they do before November.

At Trump’s Inaugural swearing in ceremony,

“Wait! Halt!”, yelled Ted Cruz, “Hold on, I found a loop hole!”

[Enchante]

Yup, through many weeks of this “never Trump” cuckservative b.s., Ted Cruz sat silently (at best) behind the scenes allowing it all to operate on his behalf. Did he actively support it or merely quietly allow it to continue? We don’t know, but we DO know that he never took the simple step(s) that would have take the air out of the movement quickly. He prefered to allow party and conservative unification to be delayed and obstructed, which could only benefit HILLARY.

[WMarshal]

I am sure that, if push comes to shove, the #nevertrump crowd will fold. If only because the big money backing their barking is going to get tired of losing money.

‘Liz Mair is voting for a liberal?

Good luck with it.”

Liz Mair is voting for a liberal because she is a liberal. Always has been very liberal. I’m just surprised that she’s not supporting Hitlery.
