4-in-10 GOP insiders want to derail Trump at the convention
Politico ^ | June 10, 2016 | Steven Shepard

After a rocky start to his general-election campaign, a sizable number of GOP insiders want the party to change the rules to short-circuit Donald Trump’s nomination at the July national convention. Nearly four-in-10 Republican members of The POLITICO Caucus — a panel of activists, operatives and strategists in 10 key states — would like to see changes that could deny Trump the party’s nod after the presumptive nominee began the November campaign without a credible campaign structure, in addition to making a series of erratic and inflammatory comments. Among the comments was a recent suggestion that an American-born judge presiding over a civil suit in which he is a defendant can’t be impartial because of the judge’s Mexican heritage.

Right! Judge is a member of laraza, his father was never a citizen, mom got her’s when he was 18 and he financed an illegal which should be illegal! Yet those smart arses on the hill are totally ignorant!

Must be nice for the GOPe to have the Democrat Party and the media so completely on their side on this one. This just highlights the uniparty the elites have set up for themselves in this nation.

The only question is just how far are they will to go to put down the peasants and their candidate, and how far are the peasants willing to go to stop them.

This has the potential to be one of the most interesting political contests this nation has ever had. I am referring to the contest between the elites and the rest of the nation, not between Trump and Clinton. Though in this case, they coincide.

“As a national delegate to the GOP convention I will work to push through any rule necessary to deny Trump the nomination,” a Colorado Republican said. “If he is our nominee, I believe the party will lose races all the way down the ticket.

Trump will win in a landslide and he will have long coattails.

which is why I can’t understand why the GOPe isn’t 100% behind Trump. He surely can’t be any more left than they are because they’re practically on the other team.
It’s almost like a hockey game, we have a 2 man advantage yet they sit on the ice and let the other team score again and again over and over.

But if they become rats, then Ted Cruz says he wants to copulate with them.

So long as they aren’t Donald Trump.

No it’s not good enough. You said you find Trump detestable, and I asked why. You ignored my question and still continue to ignore it.

Third try: Why do you find Donald Trump detestable?
