Trump campaign seeks to head off convention revolt from its right flank

PHOENIX — Arizona delegates to the Republican National Convention gathered this month in a Phoenix suburb, showing up to get to know each other and learn about their duties.

Part of the presentation included a secret plan to throw the party’s nomination of Donald Trump for president into chaos.

The instructions did not come from “Never Trumpers” hoping to stop the party from nominating a felon when delegates gather in Milwaukee next month. They instead came from avowed “America First” believers hatching a challenge from the far right — a plot to release the delegates from their pledge to support Trump, according to people present and briefed on the meeting, slides from the presentation and private messages obtained by The Washington Post.

The delegates said the gambit would require support from several other state delegations, and it wasn’t clear whether those allies had been lined up. One idea, discussed as attendees ate finger foods, was for co-conspirators to signal their allegiance to one another by wearing matching black jackets.

What wouldyou expect from a state the requires voter ID for State Elections but not for Federal Elections?

Compost misspells “left” as “right” again. Never-Trump RINOs are leftists.

A reasonable person could believe that what lawyers call ‘consideration’ to obtain a non-disclosure legal agreement is a “legal expense”, especially when such ‘consideration’ was initially paid for by a lawyer on behalf of the client and reimbursed upon the billing of the lawyer.

Trump and Cohen paid for a legal agreement, and it was expensive.

Publicizing what Trump and a woman freely & consensually did (or might have done) in private for sexual pleasure is not the legitimate business of any government.

Trump may have gotten convicted, but he is not a convicted felon, or felon, period. To say he is a felon is defamatory, and I hope Trump is compensated and awarded punitive damages for defamation by a jury.

Probably not. That group supposedly has Ivanka Trump as an advisor.

Linda McMahon (Chairwoman) Larry Kudlow (Vice Chairman) Brooke Rollins (President and CEO) Doug Hoelscher (Chief Operating Officer) Ivanka Trump (Advisor)
