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.

This is being promoted by the leftist press. They will fail.
What are his totals? I would think Carson, Rubio might pledge the delegates to Trump, but I think he’s got more than enough.
If these people try to steal the nom from him, it would be illegal and the backlash will be tremendous.
I think the whole thing is being driven by the media.
Ryan says it is up to delegates to support Trump or not.
