Reince: Even VP Nomination Could Be Contested
Weekly Standard ^ | April 1, 2016 | Jim Swift

Posted on 04/01/2016 8:54:43 AM PDT by maggief

On Greta last night, RNC chairman Reince Priebus suggested to Fox News viewers that even the vice presidential nomination could be contested at the GOP convention in Cleveland later this year.

GRETA: The convention. Tell us for planning purposes. If it is a "open/brokered/contested" convention, will it last longer than we expect?

PRIEBUS: No.

GRETA: It's gonna just be those days?

PRIEBUS. That's right.

GRETA: You think it's gonna be put to bed?

PRIEBUS: We will put whatever systems in place, we will have meetings however long we need to have them... In order to make sure that we not only have a nominee both for president, and remember, there's a separate vote for vice president... as well that no one's talking about that. But there's another vote for vice president... And then on Wednesday and Thursday we're gonna have a program. And there's going to be a convention, with, uh, obviously, our nominee to be concluded on Thursday night."

All aboard for hillary! The GOP has taken out the knife and self inflicted itself with a slash across the neck. They might as well join ranks with the rats

They are as dedicated to creating societal chaos as their master Obama is.

None of this seemed to matter when GOPe boys Mitt and Juan McCain won the nomination after receiving the most votes.

Cruz not allowing Trump to reach 1,237 is tantamount to installing yet another establishment regime. Thanks Cruzoids.

In accordance with this a-hole’s work product, Chairman of the RNC should be a part-time position requiring no more than one day a week.

So much for Trump wasting his time with Rinse a few hours previous to Greta’s show. Rince and the GOPe’s word has a shorter shelf life than an unrefigerated souffle’.

They may get their wish. And they will regret it.

People are fed up with their bullshit!

Cruz/Rubio...

Win the Latino/Hispanic vote and perhaps they can make up for all the voters Donny the Democrat Donor has lost in the last few weeks.

The cross-over vote is gone.

THANKS HAIR TRUMP.

I think that Rancid Pubies is aware that there are delegates that are changing their minds over a few things.

And that number is growing by the hour and will have a major impact by convention time.

Join the Great Delegate Hunt.

Jedi.
