Pro-Romney forces given reins to GOP convention rules, positioned to launch anti-Trump coup
Washington Times ^ | June 20, 2016 | Ralph Z. Hallow

The specter of Donald Trump’s presidential nomination being ripped from under him in a nastily contested Republican National Convention next month is alive — again.

Anti-Trump forces appeared to have been defeated after he ousted his remaining opponents from the race in early May and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, House Speaker Paul D. Ryan and Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus all signaled that Mr. Trump had sewn things up.

But weeks of bad press stemming from Mr. Trump’s criticism of a federal judge and uneven handling in the aftermath of the Orlando, Florida, terrorist shooting have kick-started efforts to deny Mr. Trump the nomination on the convention floor.

Nevada Republican Senator Dean Heller announced today that he is not voting for or supporting Trump.

WTF do these idiots think they’re doing?

Valiant? This guy wouldn’t know the meaning of the word. The Bishop should just go back to Utah and shut his pie-hole.

“Romney, Ryan, and Graham... trying to elect Hillary the Corruptess

we need to watch these people very very closely, they are dangeorus”

They are all “in the employ” of the wealthy few who don’t give a $hit about this country’s people. They wlll be happy with Hillary because money grubbers that she and Slick are, the two of them won’t do anything to perturb the business interests of these crooks to whom America only represents slave labor and slave consumers for their businesses.

Saudi Arabia.....look no further.
Obama, Hillary and the political elites all taking pay-offs.
They helped the Saudis build ISIS.
It’s pitiful.
Goal?
Saudi world supremacy, the caliphate and sharia law.
F’ ‘um!
There will be a war here.

"they don’t care if we walk, they’ll take clinton. We need to fight and live or die on this battlefield"

I am afraid you are correct. Some, like Ryan and Romney are effectively working for Hillary Clinton. Senators like Mark Kirk who has publicly said he will not support Trump are also the enemy. Since they don't care if Hillary wins, they need to worry that worse things will come their way in whatever it is done.

Will have the same results as the French had with their Maginot Line. GOPe is such a failure in historical knowledge.

These Romney people have as much strategic brilliance and will to fight as George McClellan.

If this were some kind of strategy to keep the press rabid and seemingly out of touch up until the convention, I’d commend Romney.

News reports before the convention would continue to dwell on the seemingly divided GOP and Clinton’s assured cakewalk this fall. News reports after the delegate vote would have to do a 180 and the GOP could point out the ridiculously biased nature of the press where editorials disguised as news are spewed daily.

However, this would be too brilliant of a plan for the GOP. They’ll stick to the mundane “succession” plan where the next in line is cued up to fail and the frigging lefty lunatics not fit to run a lemonade stand or lead a group of corpses to a grave will continue their overhaul of the United States economy and way of life.

Politicians are selfish scum.

If you voted for Trump in the primary, they are telling you [us] to kiss their ass. That your [our] vote don't mean shit to them, that they will make who they wish the nominee. You [we]can like or lump it.

But the question is not what are they doing, but what you [we] going to do about it?

Here’s one Nevadan that would have voted for Heller, but won’t now. Might even vote for his opponent. Wife and daughter will too. So that’s a net swing of six against Heller just in one little place. Hope he’s happy...Trump won here, Heller might find a pucker factor once word gets out.

Of course they’re really Democrats. Their wives and daughters use abortion services when they get knock-up by the help. The sons “sensitive”. The men are banging their secretaries.

Trump has won the nomination with over 1550 delegates. All of these reports are just the death throws of dying RINO’s.
