CLEVELAND, Ohio — A Republican National Committeeman from Oregon warned reporters Tuesday that 2012 presidential nominee Mitt Romney is attempting to foil Donald Trump’s nomination at the GOP convention next week.
Solomon Yue, a member of the RNC’s 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. “That’s where we’ll begin the discussion about what we’ll 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.

Hubris. Trump has the establishment terrified. A year ago they all loved him, now he’s a crazed loon. Funny how that works out.
Did he ever strike you as having a brain? Certainly never struck me that way.
Romney has a brain. He’s a progressive and Hillary follows his agenda much more so than Trump.
Just like Mittens.
He never takes “NO” for an answer.
After losing to Obama, he should be suitably embarrassed.
You know the old saying: “pride goeth before a fall.”
And Mitt choked when he could have done his best.
He has more passion fighting Trump than battling Obama.
Go figure.
I agree with you whole heartedly, not only that but I had a much higher opinion of Romney, but he turned into nothing more than a soar loser pretty much like Jeb. There is a once in a lifetime chance for republicans to win by a landslide and turn this country around and some idiots do everything possible to torpedo it instead of working together. I believe Trump has good ideas, he is clever, loves this country dearly and above all he is a good hearted person.
Yes. Romney already lost the presidency once, after legitimately winning the nomination. If he wanted another shot then he should have entered the primary like everyone else did, and not wait for an establishment anointment that will hand Hillary the election.

Beck, Romney, Reid.... I detect a trend.
Because America wants a loser like Romney or a criminal like Shrillary.
So...then....Romney bought the GOP!?
Keep your eye on Jorge P. Bush, the crosseyed stalker.
He is the one they intend to ramp up next. A real piece of work, who was lucky to escape being shot or imprisoned. A Republican Kennedy, for sure.

Yes, Romney is a bowel movement.
Your post made me think of an old, addled Mitt roaming around the home mumbling “Trump ... Trump ... Trump ... “ as the nurses try to get him to take his meds.
If Trump drags this country kicking and screaming back to greatness, Mitt won’t be the only one in the Happy Acres performing that scene.
ROFL.
One of Jim’s rules is no violent speech so I won’t say what i’d like to do to romney if I was an ill tempered man. Which i’m not.
I hate him.
Isn’t that Pete?
I agree completely. What do Mormans have against Trump? Do they need illegals that bad or is it something else?
Anything else is petty and vicious, considering the threats we face!!
“And Senator Mike Lee is a designated attack dog. He’s been way off the rails lately attacking Trump.”

Romney’s “movement” needs to be flushed. It stinks.
A National Bowel Movement
Very appropriate description. Accurate.
