CLEVELAND, Ohio A Republican National Committeeman from Oregon warned reporters Tuesday that 2012 presidential nominee Mitt Romney is attempting to foil Donald Trumps nomination at the GOP convention next week.
Solomon Yue, a member of the RNCs Standing Rules Committee, made these remarks after the committee adjourned Tuesday afternoon. Different from the Convention Rules Committee, which holds jurisdiction over the 2016 convention rules, the standing committee found itself responding to inquiries relating to whether or not certain delegates can vote in opposition to the results of their state primary on the first ballot of the nomination process.
The Convention Rules Committee is expected to meet on Thursday and Friday. When it gathers, according to North Dakota National Committeeman Curly Haugland, it will start over with the rules of 2012 and their recommended changes. Thats where well begin the discussion about what well recommend as a convention rules committee to the full convention, Haugland told The Daily Caller
TheDC learned that at least 28 or one quarter of the convention rules committee might be committed to unbinding all delegates that are bound to their state primary results. If this is the case, minority report can be produced from the rules committee and sent to the floor of the full convention for a floor vote.

I wouldn’t worry about it. Trump should win any floor fight handily.
“Please tell me this is a hoax and Romney is not that stupid.”
Did he ever strike you as having a brain? Certainly never struck me that way.
Romney will force himself and any good will Mormons had out of the window along with those no background Surian refugees.
The Cheap Labor Express has not given up thwarting the citizens.
They have always been able to nominate amnesty candidates.
Trump broke the cycle.
Almost four years later my nose is still hurting.
Uniparty is okay with Hillary. She’s one of them.
It’s bad enough that Romney threw away his own chance of election. But it is unforgivable for him to try to sabotage the election of someone who actually wants to win and has the support of millions of people.
Useless east coast mongrel.
You go straight to hell, Mitt. Take your fancy jammies and your planet and your family forever, and take the plunge into the pit.
You are a despicable wretch. I puke in your general direction, and regret that you have stained my great state of Utah. Go back to whence you came to suck up to your socialist minions.
Oregon ping
Mormonism is a cult. Mike Lee is another fraud, just like his Brokeback Buddy Ted.
Trump is pretty damned clever.
Rules are set for the convention. But, they’re planting these phony stories and he’s getting free advertising
... Oh, and take Pennsylvania Hatch with you. You make an adorable couple.
“Total, bitter LOSER and now unAmerican.”
He always was. His tenure as governor of Massachusetts alone is proof of that.
He just doesn’t bother to pretend otherwise anymore.
I never bought into anti-Mormon opinions but after Romney and his coreligionists anti-Trump tantrum I will never vote for one again. I can’t put my finger on it but there is something “off” there.
“Well, have fun finding voters if Trump gets screwed out of the nomination. Because my ass will stay home and going through my emergency food and ammo inventory.”
The voters have chosen; thwart their will at your hazard, Republicans! Yours will be a small rump party in DC if you do this...that is, until Hillary outlaws opposition by decree.
Romney is a lunatic.
Im sorry I ever voted for that sorry sack of sh!t. Never again.
Yeah, I feel your pain here. It REALLY stings when the guy you voted for prefers Obama and Hillary to Trump.
Romney is slicker than snot.
No more Bushes either from Jeb to Pete.
That dynasty is due to die out politically now.
