Hmmmm. Will the delegates be instructed to NOT vote for Trump at the convention?

[GilGil]

By that time Trump will have so much power he will know how to make these wimps fall into line. He certainly is the man to do it.

Will the delegates be instructed to NOT vote for Trump at the convention?

The delegates that got there by signing up to be Trump delegates?

[Jim from C-Town]

Delegates are connected to the candidate. IE; they are part of the candidates campaign.

The GOP is being forcibly taken over by the rank and file, the populists, the voters. The Old Guard is rightly afraid that they will not have the power they used to have.

Hmmmm. Will the delegates be instructed to NOT vote for Trump at the convention?

Unless Trump's delegates are faithless AND there is a party rule change removing the binding in most states to vote for the candidate you are bound to at least on the first ballot, no.

No. 1) The GOPe knows better than that, and 2) delegates are regular old party people many of whom like Trump and can't be bullied or bribed anyway.

The amazing thing about this story is they act like Portman and Ayotte are trailing BECAUSE of Trump. It's just the opposite. He's their only hope. Portman has been completely spineless in the Senate and Ayotte has been a turncoat. Who wants these people? As President Trump would have as much trouble with them as with the Dems
