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.
These “Constitutional conservatives” wanted an ineligible Cubanadian nominee.
Would someone just go ahead and pour a bucket of water over this witch’s head already? (I have visions of Margaret Hamilton’s Wicked Witch of the West in my mind. So sweet.) While they are at it, do the same to the Hildebeast. Thank you.
If these people are going to use the convention process to damage the chances of the party’s nominee... they need to be rooted out now and alternates should take their place. The stakes are too high to play these types of games this time around.
Just an FYI for anyone interested:

I want to see Chrissy Tingles Matthews on the deck a la Dan Rather at the ‘68 Dem convention.
As Sarah Palin named them, they are RATs, Republicans Against Trump. I call them certifiable Hillary supporters.
>>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.
************************************************************
Amen.
The biggest thing to remember about anti-Trump moderate squishes...by their very nature they’re pu$$ies. Once Trump tells them what to do they’ll either do what alpha-Male Trump tells them to do, or they’ll complete their sex-change operation.
here we go again. it won’t happen. establishment guys are pushovers. that’s how they become establishment guys.
Period. End it.
I believe they will be removed entirely, or locked out without credentials.
Disrupting the nominee isn’t regular order.
She looks more like a cat lady Hillary supporter.
She just wants Cruz because in the polls, he looses big to Hillary.
So called conservatives Mitt, Cucci, Will couldn’t get themselves elected dog catcher. Maybe their two-year-old tantrum will inoculate Trump against those who also find them just as annoying.
Kendal Unruh is certifiable! Needs psychiatrist help ASAP. She fails to understand the simple fact, that in United States, voters decide the nominee, not idiots.
Period. End it.
I believe they will be removed entirely, or locked out without credentials.
Disrupting the nominee isn’t regular order.
Exactly!
Cruz could stop this nonsense with a public statement to his bots.
He refuses to do so.
Cruz’s 15 minutes of fame are just about up.
Good riddance to him and his snake handlers.
My thoughts also.
The funny part is, she teaches high school students in her Government Class. Can you just imagine the brainwashing that goes on there? If I were a parent with a child in her class, I would get them OUT asap!
I hope many people are emailing the Trump Team and letting them know we want this crazy woman’s credentials pulled. She is a disrupter, no different from the disrupters that showed up at his rallies.
Screw the minority. I’m sick and tired of minorities. Majority rules.
Kendal Unruh and her ilk remind me of the Gore fiasco in the 2000 election...Give it up
Cruz delegate Kendal Unruh. There is simply no reason for a “low info” Trump supporter to ever support Ted Cruz again. Ever.
