These Republicans were unable to stop Donald Trump’s nomination. But they’re trying again.

Activists who were unable to block Donald Trump's presidential nomination are trying again, this time petitioning the Republican National Committee to call an emergency meeting to strip him of the nod.

Just like the group's months-long fight to stop Trump at the party convention, this latest attempt is likely to be a mostly symbolic act of defiance. Even though Trump is trailing Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton in polls, an overwhelming majority of Republicans still support him, and top party leaders are rejecting calls to find a new standard-bearer with fewer than 100 days until Election Day.

NeverTrump sore losers. If Trump loses a close election we will know who to blame.

Keep it up, Republicans, we’ll see who is laughing in the end, when Trump takes his millions of voters with him, if they cause him to lose in November.

Most of these anti-American scumbags DO NOT CARE if Hitlery becomes our second dictatorial Marxist president. They will keep doing the Washington DC two-step to make personal money.

They do not care.

And speaking for myself, I despise traitors worse than the enemy.

Gotta resurrect this statement I had during the Primaries eh?

The GOPe and Bosses are perfectly fine with a loss.

Why? Because what difference would it make? Hillary is Pres? oh no....They still have their Buffets, Their Crackers and Cheese and they get to go to Nine Rivers Country Club every Sunday, so shut up base.

They DO care they WANT Hillary elected.

A request like this is a purely political show being done for the other side.

This is designed to coincide with Obama’s call for republicans to dump Trump, do they can say republicans agree.

Won’t matter because if they blow this the Dems will put the finishing touches on Operation Permanent Majority and no one else will win an election from now till Judgment Day.

They named one person who was a delegate and is a lawyer. They don’t even have the guts to put their names out there.

It's time to call every elected or appointed Republican we can and set them straight on the facts of life. If these disgusting elitist backstabbers do anything that prevents the election of Trump, a Republican will never again win so much as local dog catcher.

Without Trump, the US goes the way of the EU. Their only chance for survival is remaining pockets of sanity that can survive the collapse of the Fascist regime.

We know the lukewarm at best “endorsement” of Trump from the GOP higher-ups tells us all we need to know about where their loyalties really lie.

And they are the ones who will pay if Trump goes down.

This is the money quote from the article! These people are what we used to call “$hit disturbers!”

“But when Bruce Ash, an RNC member from Arizona, received an email from the group Sunday, he fired back a stern no thank you.

“NYET!!” he wrote in reply to an email from Thomson. “You will not succeed. YOU ARE TOTALLY SELF-ABSORBED. How embarrassing for you. When our nominee defeats Clinton you will try, no doubt, to claim success. If we fail to win your 2nd guessing and lack of support will not be overlooked.””

I don't want to spoil the idiot that works for the Washington Compost, but there are many Trump supporters out there that are still the ‘silent majority’ and they will pull the handle for Trump...

If Clinton’s health betrays her before the election, the GOPestablishment will probably be facing Fauxcahontus instead of Kaine.

It depends on the Dem Party rules, of course.

The Fauxpublicans will vote for the Dem nominee, in all likelihood.

I have never seen such overt efforts of party leaders to destroy their own party nominee. Even some of those supposedly close to Trump have been throwing their own barbs at the nominee.

Across the aisle, the Dems and their media cohorts circle the wagon around their nominee, even through she cannot walk up a flight of stairs unaided anymore.

One person after another says they haven’t heard from anybody about this, and yet the slime at the WP deem this is newsworthy.

It really comes down to that. They really are a Uniparty. It is useless for people to keep saying "they're going to get Hillary elected". That's the point.
