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.

These authoritarian banana republic thugs should be informed that the people have voted, and should behave or be removed, one way kr the other. A trump delegate who fails their elected duty should find themselves in any kind of legal trouble that research can find. Most hacks have plenty of skeletons in their closets, they should be brought forth.
Good to see.
I only saw it as “trending” at Facebook, so we’ll see if it holds up as true or if it’s some FB yahoo deciding it’s funny to spread a story like that... like the quote about the killer of the UK MP yelling ‘Britain First.’ Make stuff up, it sticks, truth won’t matter.
Thanks. Can I assume the non-funding is for both major party conventions? I’ll follow the link but it only refers to “gop-convention.’
Yes. The DemonRATs will have their discord when the Berns try to sack the convention. I have heard it will duplicate the 1968 DemonRAT convention. Pardon me, but I have to day the DemonRAT word again. DemonRAT.
Have you lost your mind? You want the DOJ to investigate delegates of a private-party organization?
This isn’t Russia. We don’t sic government thugs on people because of how they vote.
But we do sic the authorities on those who actively seek sedition. Big difference.
“These delegates (and Cruz) think that this plan will somehow set up Cruz to win an election in 2020.”
After his behavior in this election cycle, I’d vote for a Democrat before I’d vote for Cruz.
No we don’t but the democrats do.
One of those delegates is a big shot Cruz delegate and that’s the primary reason lying Ted Cruz has not spoken a word to Donald Trump since having his ass handed to him in Indiana. He still thinks he can have the nomination stolen for him at Cleveland.
The GOP is over run by liberals and dem-rinos. Witness Paul Ryan, Lindsey Graham, Mitch McConnell.
Time to replace DC with a small government whose works are limited to the Constitutional rule. The communist democrats and their rino familiars must go. Or a third party started as their are too many of them in the GOP now.
Several dozen delegates , not just several delegates, are working to negate the results of the primaries and thwart the will of the voters [people]. In plain language they are saying, “the hell with the will of the people[voters]. We will put whomever we damn well please as the candidate. You Trump voters get the hell back under the porch. We will call you when we want you. Until then, stay the hell out of sight and the way. That is what they mean. They phrase it a little different.
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 judgeIOW...
Sedition? For voting? Gimme a freaking break. Buy a legal dictionary, please.
We need to get a list of every single ahole who participates in this and make sure they are NEVER elected or reelected to ANY position! It doesn’t even matter if they are unsuccessful in their effort to destroy the country. They are traitors to the USA!
That was obvious from the start. Yeb was to be the sacrificial but well-behaved lambie poo.
Will we EVER learn? Paul Ryan and the GOP leadership is NOT on our side! NEVER was! NEVER will be!
Paul Ryan was brought into DC politics to push amnesty, free trade...by CESAR CONDA. He is OWNED. (Conda is powerful and is Rubio’s chief of staff and an immigration lawyer who destroyed prop 187 in Calif along with Grover Norquist.)

Who runs the GOP and owns Paul Ryan & Marco Rubio? Let’s name names!
[snip]
Cesar Conda and his biggest ally, Grover Norquist have an agenda. It is to control the Republican party and the candidates who run in these elections who will implement the policies they want in place to profit their various NON profit scams. They are not conservative or moderate or any other label you can hang on them. They are NOTHING but amoral profiteers having found a gullible constituency in a nation of people easily fooled.
The agenda? Every lopsided, cheap labor ‘trade’ agreement that comes down the pike…Nafta, Gatt, Most favored nation status for China, TPP and on and on. They are actually treaties, but this little group has a congress willing to abdicate it’s power to call them ‘free trade agreements’.
AND
Uncontrolled legal and illegal immigration from South of the border and terrorist Muslim nations. Grover Norquist, married to a Pakistani Muslim who was active in the Bush Administration is the man who LED the push for the Mosque at Ground Zero. Donald Trump is the man who fought it! As Karl Rove, another part of this little K St. GOP power cabal, is proud to say, Norquist ‘brought home the Muslim vote for Bush’. They stocked the various agencies with their people!
They’ve become used to power, and they’re NOT going to give it up easily to the ONE MAN, DONALD TRUMP, who seeks to expose and end this corruption.
These people don’t ‘lobby’ our leaders…they OWN them. They write the legislation! Grover Norquist WROTE George Bush’s amnesty! Conda/Norquist WROTE the gang of 8 amnesty that THEIR little whore Marco Rubio pushed!
They also RUN all your favorite ‘conservative’ institutions who are in your mailbox EVERY day conning you out of money to fund our destruction. And we smile, hope and write the check to:
Americans for Tax Reform, CPAC, The American Conservative Union, Freedomworks, Tea Party Express, Tea Party Patriots, Heritage, CLUB FOR GROWTH, the NRSC, NRCC and SO many more!
Every candidate PROMISED to support the GOP nominee and DEMANDED that Donald Trump SIGN and agree to do the same. Many are breaking that pledge.
Trump has kept his word.
EVERY candidate, save ONE, also PLEDGED their allegiance to Grover Norquist when they signed his infamous ‘pledge’. He OWNS your GOP congress. He OWNS over 1300 STATE legislators! IF you don’t do what the Grover Club tells you to, you will never win another election. They have taken out many good candidates.
Donald Trump is the ONLY presidential GOP candidate who has not signed that UNAMERICAN oath and onto Grover/Conda’s agenda.
NONE of this is a secret! SO many of us have tried for years to expose this stinking mess!
To be sure, Norquist, Conda, Rove are not the only ones. But they are generals in their sovereignty destroying army. They involve lobbyist run Tea Parties to confuse the grass roots, Ralph Reed and his Christian Coalition to confuse the faithful, Steven Moore who is head economist of Heritage and mouthpieces like Hugh Hewitt and likely Levin, Limbaugh, Beck and others to fool the talk radio audience.
