The specter of Donald Trumps 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. Trumps 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.

The author of this article is part of the inside the beltway ‘conservative media’ and is well connected to the GOPe.
I take an article like this more seriously than others.

If they carry this too far, which would be to even TRY to change the rules, they run the risk of the only Republicans being elected are Trump and those who vigorously support Trump.
Why? When it becomes obvious that establishment pols in both political parties are a party onto their own, Trump will get the "made as *ell" vote across the political spectrum. But "voting fodder" Republicans won't vote for a disloyal Republican for so much as dogcatcher.
I hope everyone is having the discussion with Sanders supporters and undecided we all know. That is that HATED pols such as The Bush Dynasty, Ryan, Romney etc all want hillary to win.

what you [we] going to do about it? Lol. Nothing at all. We have work in the morning. We have mortgages to pay, health insurance premiums to make, car payments and insurance to cover, kid's braces to pay for, toys and big screen TV's to drink beer while watching the big game on. The moment we do anything about this, all that goes away. Sacrifice? Lol. That's funny.

I'm going to put on here what I just wrote on the Utah board about Romney and the jerks here in Utah trying to knock Trump out: Poll: Donald Trump Has a Nine-Point Lead on Hillary Clinton in Utah 6/21/2016 2:31:26 PM · 23 of 24 HarleyLady27 to orchestra; Jane Long; BlackFemaleArmyCaptain; Black Agnes; djstex; mkjessup; RoosterRedux; ... Let me say something here, I live in Utah, and I have, with a lot of other people been working VERY hard to get Trump where he is...this rat Romney is doing everything he can here to knock Trump out...hes using his Mormon Church pull to do that, plus he is a friend of Gary Johnsons...and he is using Glen Beck...Cruz has been here a few times, oh the press didnt tell you that? Well glory be, why not!!! This State has been R for as long as I remember, and just a reminder: Our Lord was a name caller....he called people snakes and he told someone he was not better than a tomb now that not be the language of today, but back then it was the same and had the same affect... So if you people are such snowflakes and cant stand the language, maybe you better go to your safe places, because those of us that are fighting this battle here in Utah to keep Trump ahead are getting mighty damn sick and tired of this anti Trump bashing 24/7 all the time, take yourselves over to Hillarys camp and support her!!!!!!!!!!

Bishop Romney, partner of George Soros, RUINED
America in two elections and plans to do so a third time.
Was not RomneyCARE/ObamaCARE enough?
Was not Romney Polygamy enough? Will animals be next?

If the GOP invalidates our votes and puts their own pet on the throne - I stop voting and go on welfare.

The anti-Trumpsters can run third party, Trump will run as a Republican.

Take Bernie as your VP. At the very least it will be entertaining.
