Over the weekend, The Daily Wire had the opportunity to speak with Kendal Unruh, a member of the Colorado Republican delegation to the Republican National Convention. Unruh is also a member of the Rules Committee at the RNC, and a leading advocate for a vote that would unbind the delegates from the candidates to which their state primaries are pledged.
Unruh explained that "28 committee members are required to pass a minority report, which then goes to the convention floor for all delegates to vote on. It then requires a simple majority to pass." She added that she does "have the 28 votes required for the minority report," continuing, "Not everyone who is with us is willing to be public yet, due in part to the threats being made by Trump's campaign and the RNC itself."

>>Why is Trump even giving Cruz a voice at the Convention????
Romney/Cruz are 2 sick puppies that should be banned from the party.
Indeed. The question is WHY leave a crack for these snakes to slither through? Surely, DJT can’t be that naive. ALL candidates who did not honor the pledge should be banned from the party and barred from running for any elected office in this country FOREVER. Traitors, ALL.
sort of like that alleged woman who was a Jebby staffer
Astonishing the number of putative republicans who are utterly intent on committing national and party suicide.
If the party doesn’t nominate and get behind The Donald, they may as well disband and go home - they’d never again mount anything like an effective campaign for anyone.
If they unbind then they have lied to the voters. If I want to vote for a pack of liars I’ll vote for some experts, the RATs.
The best thing to do is tune it all out. Donald Trump is going to be officially nominated at the convention next week with very little opposition. All this hysterical supposition is ridiculous.
>> I am a defeatist because I think the entire federal Obamanation will do everything to ensure a Hillary victory. Including bribing or extorting electoral college voters. I think Trump will be terrible if he is true on his international trade protectionism. But we can survive that easily. We are a creative bunch of people and I do think Trump is smart enough to change his policies if he sees it isn’t working. We CAN NOT survive any more progressivism in the Obamanation mold.
You are not a defeatist. You are a realist. Some like to live in their own little Fluff Bubble and call realists “Debbie Downers”.
If you’ve figured out several tactics they can use, they, for sure have figured out those same tactics.
Just today I was listening to Rob Kirby (Canadian economist) being interviewed. He says Trump is the ONLY hope left for this country. But, he also sees O as stopping at nothing to prevent DJT from ever taking office. He suspects O is fomenting all this violence, building up to pulling the plug on the economy, all with the intent to declare martial law and postpone the election, if it looks like DJT will win.
I agree.
Do not know if this is true. If it is action is needed to stomp it out.

These clowns are such hypocrites they make Democrats look like saints. There has to be huge corrupt power players pushing these puppets (useful idiots) into this suicidal play. The delegates may not want to show their face, but we will all learn who they are before this is over. They need to be shunned and treated as pariahs for ever more in the Party.
I was thinking the same thing. Yikes, she hit quite a few branches on the ugly tree.
See tagline.
But the committee cannot make that change, it has to go to the delegates.
Their press release is misleading.
They may just want to.
She’s a suppurating pilonidal cyst!
“I think the coup could happen at the convention. I have no idea who the replacement would be”
I think the operative phrase here pertaining to you is “I have no idea”.
>> If the junior Senator from Texas had any integrity left

I don’t believe he ever had any in the first place.
What about this. Find out the delegates who are supposed to vote for Trump. See which of those is in favor of this unbind nonsense. If there is a state law about voting for whom you were supposed to , then be ready to, if this unbind passes, to issue letters, before the presidential roll call, from the state that they are from saying that they will be prosecuted for voting against who they pledged to vote for... Maybe even send them a photo shopped pic of themselves in an orange jumpsuit. Then suggest that if they cant vote for trump, to resign and let their slot be taken by a delegate who can vote for Trump.
The people have spoken. Anything to change that outcome will probably elect Hillary. I coukd never pull the lever for Romney or any of those misfitsl
First. What is it about democracy that these sore heads don’t like? Second, we need RYno carried off the stage at Cleveland if he won’t leave voluntarily. We have lost patience with this anti- democracy faction trying to divide us rather than UNITE US.
I expect the communists to try to disrupt the convention and blame it on Trumps anti- PC Tone. It won’t work. The communists are playing the Black mobs like a violin . I wish they would get smarter than that. I fear thousands of injuries. The local police have called for paid reinforcements from all over. They will fail. We need the national guard to secure the area for miles with check points . If they don’t -THERE WILL BE SNIPERS!! This is not about “free speech” this is about CIVIL WAR!!
Yup. I can identify by appearance alone who are the libtard commie Dummycrats. Im not proud of this skill but after working here in L.A, it’s like a spidey sense for me..
Because they are Cruzbots.
