Anti-Donald Trump delegates are hoping to stir up trouble for the RNC and wreak havoc on the Republican National Convention next week, The Washington Post reports .
A group of delegates opposed to their party's presumptive nominee is plotting a variety of ways to upend the convention as the nation's focus turns to Cleveland on Monday.
One Louisiana delegate told the Post that some are preparing to bog down the convention with procedural maneuvers.
Others hope to force a roll call vote, a move that would drag out proceedings and give a spotlight to any delegates hoping to embarrass Trump by voting against him while the cameras are rolling.
Several "minority reports," which detail proposals that were rejected by committees, are reportedly in the works.
Some delegates are venting their anger not just at Trump, but at the Republican National Committee and its chair Reince Priebus for quashing measures proposed to the Rules Committee.
"To sound like Donald Trump – they rigged it," said Kendal Unruh, a delegate who has been a leader of the "Never Trump" movement within the convention. "The very thing they scream about is the very thing they did. I want to make this point extraordinarily clear: What a bunch of liars they revealed themselves to be."
Unruh told the Associated Press Friday that she was giving up her mission to "unbind" delegates from the results of their states' primaries and caucuses.
And Priebus declared the "Never Trump" push " over."
While it's implausible that anyone but Trump will emerge next week as the party's nominee, rowdy delegates could still cause a headache for the RNC and convention planners and deal a blow to the message of Republican unity.
Good luck with that.
Traitors for Hillary. They should be called that to their faces and treated as such.
Sheesh, people, including someone I admire, Ken Cuccinelli. Trump won fair and square. Get on board and stop Hillary.
Take them out and string them up.
Democrats do stuff like this.
Kendal Unruh needs to have her credentials pulled along with others who are really working for Hillary Clinton at this point.
Throw them out.
They won’t do anything. These are typical Globalist establishment GOP types. Lots of talk and then they puss out.
Absolutely...My thought also.
so if the Ohio political hacks and their police are gonna stand back,
we may be treated to the spectacle of
Soros/IslamoNazi storm troopers attacking VERSUS BikeBoy Gangsters defending ????
the mass media will have a field day!
Is she Jesse Unruh’s relation?
The Compost reports? Isn’t that like saying the Democratic Party reports? Let’s get our panic faces on.
Let’s be crystal clear:
If you are against Trump you are for hLIARy.
Period.
This is so freaking stupid. Ok we get it, you didn’t want Trump to win. A lot of us didn’t. But the process is the process and it has moved on. You missed your chance.
After watching the Bret Baier report on the RNC Convention and listening to those “nevertrump” idiots including that horrid woman from Colorado, I realized I hate these people more than I dislike Democrats. I think Democrats are wrong on most issues but they are sincerely wrong. These so called Republican purists are just smug, condescending, and annoying. No wonder they loved Ted Cruz, they are cut from the same cloth. And nobody likes him either.
I call BS on compost article. Compost just trying to stir up trouble.
Kendal Unruh, that’s the one I meant! She is a POS. I’d vote for Hillary before I’d support her.
