RNC Chairman Reince Priebus tapped former congressman Enid Mickelsen to chair the all-important rules committee during the convention.

Just two weeks ago, Enid had this to say about the presidential race:

Ryan Struyk @ryanstruyk

She has also spoken approvingly of the idea that the rules could be changed to allow delegates to vote for someone other than a candidate they are bound to by result of primary or caucus.

It's unkown if Trump was consulted about the choice.

The GOP had better know if they try some shenanigans that screws Trump out of the nomination they will cease to exist as a political party.

They will invent something completely new:

Kamikaze Voter

Voting against every GOP candidate in every election for every office until there is no more GOP

The GOP-e still isn’t taking the base seriously.

Amazing to watch a major political party commit suicide real-time.

Warning! If the rules committee changes any rules that eliminate Trump we will start a civil war that the Government will never forget. America is totally fed up with government.

Trump for President.

I live in a congressional district with one of the few renaming republican congressmen in California. If the GOP doesn’t cut this crap out, I’ll vote against him. I feel betrayed by a party that refuses to play by their own rules because they didn’t the globalist brown nosing candidate they wanted.

That would start the shooting long before they are ready for it. JMHO!

“She has also spoken approvingly of the idea that the rules could be changed to allow delegates to vote for someone other than a candidate they are bound to by result of primary or caucus.”

Are people actually worried that they are going to try this?

Let’s come up with a nickname adjective for Priebus. My suggestion would be Pr!ck Priebus.
