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.

Good riddance to Lyn’ Ted and the scum that he spawned. Maybe they’ll stay home next week since they prefer Clinton over Trump.
they were CRUSHED !
Here's your prize, thank you for playing
Lee and Cuccinelli are the biggest disappointments, by far. I thought they understood that in our country votes matter and “delegate” has a very clear definition. Who can we trust? A lot of those who didn’t vote to steal our voting rights only backed off because they got the message from disgusted Republicans.
LOL...must be the cRuzombies, over at that ‘briefing’ site. They can’t handle the briefing/truth. ;-)
#NeverMikeLee
#NeverKenCuccinelli
And, to think I used to support these two arss clowns!!
I’ve called Lee’s office AND Senate Conservatives....and, told them BOTH that as a past supporter, they will NEVER receive another $$ or ounce of support from me.
Shame on BOTH of them. YUGE disappointments.
Im sure glad Jim kicked the bad ones off of FR, they would have been insufferable today.
The cRuzombies are jumping off the deep end, in droves. Over at their butthurt sites, on twitter (Ameanda Carpenter is beyond help), etc.
Nice gif!!
Welcome to FR!
You HAVE to wonder who these guys are listening to, and unfortunately it’s usually a woman.
This was my concern with Newt: he is a slave to Callista, and often, I think, takes her advice over his own good judgment.
Likewise, I wonder if Heidi and Mike Lee’s wife (who also was on the rules committee) are whispering in the ears of their guys?
Sasse is another shocker. He's as bad as Flake and Romney. Maybe Senators Cotton and Ernst aren't too far gone and can be pulled away from the Dark Side.
Mygosh, we were deliberately lied to so the Illuminati could get more of their potential converts elected!
The Butt Hurt on her is extreme today.
May she and it ache throughout Trump’s 8 years and Pence’s 8 years!
LOL!! Perfect!!
Absolute. Thread. Win. ;)
