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.

Curly Haugland should be booted out of the GOP permanently and blacklisted wherever possible.
He is the one that remarked on CNBC earlier this year that it’s a good question in response to the question of why have a primary at all if delegates are going to go against the voters?
And we thought the Democrats had SoreLoserman?
NeverTrumpers better watch out what they wish for
Mittens is a full fledged , magic diaper wearing member of the pedophile cult.
Mormons are NOT Christians, but they usually ARE traitors.
Romney is pro-abortion, pro-gun control, pro-universal healthcare, pro-illegal immigration, etc. etc. etc.
Why do people think Romney is a republican? Why do they think he wouldn’t hesitate to huddle with the democrats on everything?
Twice
Romney isn’t worthy enough to shine Trump’s shoes. The boy needs to go away. His shtick is getting old.
“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.”
ROFL
Post of the day! ;-)
Romney will choke. He’s a choker. Of chickens.
Oh, Mitt's political career is already over. If he persists in this, he'll be gambling with much more than his career.
That's good...
Romney fights harder than he ever did when he was running in 2012 to get Hillary elected in 2016. He is such a pick.
I guess “Vanity” is not one of the deadly sins in the Mormon faith. Mitt is acting like Ahab in his revenge attack on the Albino Whale Moby Dick. I think Ahab was the big loser in the end.....”The whale returns to Ahab, who stabs at him for second time. The harpoon line loops around Ahab’s neck, and as the stricken whale swims away, Ahab is dragged with him out of sight.”
Romney should just shut up and support Trump. He is not generating any good will from Republicans by continuing to agitate against Trump.
Sack of shit. How about a jiggling mass of Ebola and rabies virus mixed. That is what Romney is now.
Be lucky we aren’t Muslims. Voting for Romney would cause us all to get our Right hands amputated.
Monmouth poll. I saw that wow.
He's a RINO piece of Mitt.
Mr. Romney was never anything but a political opportunist. Romneycare was to be his signature accomplishment which was to propel him into the White House. People often forget he spent over 8 years running for President and failed miserably. K Street and Wall Street are the entities behind the anti-Trump crusade and as always Mr. Romney is their dancing chimp.
