Trump accuses Jeb Bush of mounting convention coup
The Hill ^ | June 18, 2016 | Jessie Hellmann

Posted on 06/18/2016 1:22:24 PM PDT by maggief

Donald Trump on Saturday accused Jeb Bush of mounting a convention coup against him, after reports that Republican delegates who don't personally support Trump are looking for ways to avoid voting for him this summer.

"By the way, Jeb is working on the movement, just so you understand," Trump said to supporters at a rally in Las Vegas.

"Jeb is one of the people that's working — and the other one should be obvious," he said, though he didn't elaborate further.

Earlier at the rally, however, Trump echoed the Republican National Committee and said the reports were a media hoax.

"It's all made up by the press, folks. It's a hoax," Trump said. "This is a story — who are they going to pick? I beat everybody. I beat the hell out of them."

Well don’t pat yourself on the back too hard that you find it odd.

The good Lord says this is par for the course of evil. Outrage is vain.

It’s well understood the Bush and Cruz insiders would not stop at their attempts for a convention of collusion

If they have their ‘coup’, then Dozens of REPUBLICAN OFFICE HOLDERS will LOSE THEIR SEATS. This is much more than just the Republican nomination...it is also our people elected at all levels of government. Please see this posting if you HAVE ANY DOUBTS...as to what happens:

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/chat/3441347/posts?page=66#1

This is no long the MINOR LEAGUES...we will DESTROY REPUBLICAN OFFICEHOLDERS if Trump is denied the nomination, after easily winning enough delegates.

PLEASE CONSIDER THAT...as it will not be a happy ending for you guys in office.

You want to have 13 million extremely pissed off enemies, Jeb?

From the elitist's point of view we the people are all talk and no action — it's because of that that they treat us like crap, because we'll just back down like every time before. It's why our Senators so brazenly committed treason in the open daylight --Proof/reasoning here-- they think that they will never be held to account.

They will be removed from the Gop. It was always all about them. Not anymore, they have no power.

[”Jeb is one of the people that’s working — and the other one should be obvious,”]

TIM MILLER, a JEB BUSH operative, was pushing the anti-TRUMP agenda on the O’REILLY FACTOR last night. Smooth, slimy words were oozing from his lips. I had to change the channel.

The GOPe are determined to have a ROMNEY/BUSH ticket. Ain’t gonna happen.

“I want Ryan procedurally removed as Chairman of the Convention.”

And furthemore, I want him removed from the Congress, even if it means his seat goes to a RAT!

Even Krauthammer who loathes Trump said a coup will never happen.
