At least 30 delegates are mounting a longshot attempt to deny Donald Trump the GOP presidential nomination on the convention floor, The Washington Post reported Friday.

The delegates hope to change party rules next month to take away delegates who are pledged to the presumptive nominee but who may not actually support him. The attempt comes on the heels of a tough stretch for Trump, who has seen his favorability plummet and any lead over Democrat Hillary Clinton evaporate over his attacks on a Hispanic federal judge, comments this week about banning Muslims and other controversies.

They should feel the pressure of the constituents they’re betraying.

I don’t really believe the fools want to try that. That would mean that the democrats have taken over the party - out in the open.

FREEPERS can volunteer!

JOIN TEAM NEHLEN!

Together we can make history and bring real representation back to Wisconsin’s 1st Congressional District. This district is about We the People, not Paul Ryan’s special interest handlers in Washington. Stand with us and help us send Paul Nehlen to Congress!

Well stated. God Bless America and its Christian/judo heritage.

That is not correct - The Sons of Liberty did not fight against the most powerful nation on earth, nor establish the USofA LEGALLY, under Judeo-Christian heritage or theocratic systems.

This Nation was established under Natural Law, with the intent to judge all individuals by their actions, not their race, creed or religion.

The problem is, the Rule of Law has been rescinded to allow uncontrolled criminal theft of National resources, in effect setting lower classes upon each other.

When ALL Americans can keep and bear Arms, i.e. AT ALL TIMES; EXCEPT ON OTHERS' PRIVATE PROPERTY AT REQUEST, then you will see Our TRUE HERITAGE.

Some early American political practices should be brought back for good effect ;-)

Bring it.

So lets say Trump wins the election for President. Then he gets stabbed in the back by GOP in House and Senate where they will join the Dems in taking Trump out.

We are so screwed. Dems very rarely eat their own. The GOP always takes part in cannibalism.

A POTUS Trump can drop the hammer in a way an outsider candidate never could. How does “campaign finance reform” sound as the first item on Trump’s agenda? Dems would be happy to go along with that and humiliate Ryan with a discharge petition.

[freespirit2012]

Trump will appropriately say “get them out of here!!”.

[Engedi]

Ahhh good point.

This is psywar. The GOP is trying to distract Trump and keep him in neutral gear. And also bait him into attacking them. Ryan is essentially running for POTUS already. Totally ridiculous.

[freespirit2012]

War on Ryan.. He needs to go as speaker before the convention... Naming him as speaker was a huge mistake...

[lovesdogs]

I write your message on every FB page for these jackarse’s I find. Everyone needs to let them know that this is the last chance for the GOP.

[WildHighlander57]

IIRC Trump booted the WaPo reporters...

We are not afraid of revolution either.

Given this, I think it’s important that I post this again:

Basically it says that TRUMP WON THE MAJORITY OF DELEGATES and that any attempt to deny him the nomination WILL result in the at least half of Trump’s voters simply NOT VOTING GOP, for anyone, at any level.

So to those GOP Congressmen and Senators up for re-election, you better learn how UNEMPLOYMENT INSURANCE works, as you’ll soon need it.

[catnipman]

Oh, wow! 30 out of 2,472! And that’s worth a BIG enemedia “news” story!

[Libertynotfree]

Dont forget, there are more Bush’ s loyalists to be concerned.

[stars & stripes forever]

Did you just watch JEB BUSH operative TIM MILLER on THE O’REILLY FACTOR?

GOPe are out in full force trying to convince Republicans that TRUMP cannot win the election.

This is going to energize TRUMP supporters all the more. Bring it on GOPe.
