Late last week, Politico ran an article saying that the Convention rules panel was stacked with pro-Trump delegates/supporters (it was reposted here on FR).
I have to have explicit faith in Paul Manafort to protect Mr. Trump’s nomination. He has unparalleled expertise in fighting these battles and I try to take comfort in knowing that Trump tapped the best man possible to watch his back.
Manafort graduated from the Georgetown University Law School and I suspect Trump has an elite team of attorneys ready to represent him.
I cannot wait to finally have that roll call of state delegations sign, seal and deliver Trump his official nomination in Cleveland!!!
Ditto.
