#NeverTrump Delegate Rebels ‘Defeated’ at the RNC Rules Committee

A last-minute plot to push a conscience voting provision through the RNC Rules Committee failed, virtually eliminating any options for the Free the Delegates movement to go forward and stop Donald Trump from getting the nomination on the convention floor next week. The rebels were trying to unbind pledged delegates for Trump to allow them to vote their conscience in defiance of state party rules.
The Rules Committee has been going all day long, Trump surrogate Scottie Nell Hughes told Breitbart News just moments after the Committee adjourned before midnight in Ohio. They all got along and we are going to wake up in the morning to a unified Republican Party.
An intense day of committee speeches brought out the remaining #NeverTrump heavyweights including Utah Sen. Mike Lee, delegate-revolt rebel leader Kendal Unruh of Colorado, Curly Haugland of North Dakota, and also former Virginia gubernatorial candidate and Ted Cruz-backer Ken Cuccinelli. Breitbart News can confirm that Cuccinelli spoke in favor of the conscience exemption.

That actually failed 87 to 12, Hughes said. So people are still going to be bound by their state party laws.

Dopey Kendal Unruh claimed to have 30 votes. She got 12. Ban cat ladies from politics.

Donald Trump earned more primary votes this year, through the conservative voting base,
than any other putative Republican nominee in the party's friggin' HISTORY.
"We, The People" -- remember when those words actually meant something to the party's movers and shakers, oh so very long ago? -- Have. Bloody. SPOKEN.
You GOPe bozos and backstabbers have done enough harm -- to the Republican party; to conservatism; and to this very country.
We're taking over, now.
Get in line, or get lost.

Maybe they should join the BLM group outside the convention. The way Cruz did in Chicago with his remarks.

Well now they can say they “tried” and their conscience is clear. Right? Or are they going to continue to have a hissy fit?

Hey Romney! You lose, again!
