WATCH LIVE: RNC Rules Committee Convenes in Cleveland
GOP live feed ^ | July 14, 2016 | GOP Rules Committee

Posted on 07/14/2016 11:12:48 AM PDT by Nita Nupress

In session now, being shown live.

Right now they're debating whether or not to have a registered Parliamentarian at all meetings. Since I'm unaware of who is who, I can't tell if this is being pushed by the Anti/Never Trumpers or the pro-Trump delegates.

Well, while i was typing the above, they chaired that motion and have moved on.

Someone from Fox this morning said to watch Mike Lee and his wife to try and figure out what the NeverTrumpers are doing.

Blackwell amendment fails by 23-86. Win for RNC. First big test vote of the day and has minority below 28-vote minority report threshold

Recessed for 30 minutes for an early supper. They will work “well into the night” because they’re behind.

If they fail, I can’t wait to check out the Never Trump brigade on Twitter.

Yeah, that was something the anti-Trump and the anti-establishment *should* have agreed on so assume that’s all the votes they have.
Should have made a deal with Reince for what they could get. Just wasting time now and making enemies (like those who have friends visiting).

Summary call-in from Zeke Miller (TimeMag) on CSPAN3:

Rinse Preibus/RNC used a “printer issue” as a ruse while he and others (anti-trumpets) hashed out and tried to reach some kind of compromise this morning. No agreements were reached, thus this is why the Rules Committee came back from their long lunch break and promptly began hashing out each and every rule, point by point. (the boring Robert’s Rules discussion we’ve been watching here).

Key players in the negotiations/”printer error” 4-hour talks this morning:
Preibus
Cuccinelli (sp?)
Morton Blackwell
Kendal Unruh
Mike Lee (Zeke Miller didn’t mention him specifically, but I presume he was there).
(I missed some other names; Zeke was talking fast)

The proposed provisions by anti-trumpers during this 4-hour meeting would have weakened the RNC. The talks broke down when they couldn’t reach agreement.

Implications: Now the anti-trump delegates won’t be able to ?? on the floor of the convention and Trump’s nomination would be 100% secure.

Back in the Rules Committee meeting, Rule 12 (”Ben Ginsberg’s Rule”) has been the only key vote so far taken today and it failed miserably. (end of Zeke’s summary)

(Incidentally, callers to CSPAN right now seem to be pro-Trump 2 to 1 and are against this anti-Trump movement to dump Trump.)

There are two Committees meeting in Cleveland. One is the Rules committee that meets
every quarter. The other is the Convention Rules committee that will bring a package
before the convention for adoption as to how the convention will be governed.

<< I do believe that Cruz could smash this with an endorsement of Trump and/or encouraging these people to follow the rules agreed to when becoming a delegate. >>

Yes, he could. But he WON’T because “sumpin’ ain’t RIGHT wid dat boy. He tetched in the hayed!”

#NeverTrump died with the leak of Gov Mike Pence’s name. It is all over but watching the paint dry.

Yes, that did pretty much take the wind out of their sails, didn't it?
Manafort knows what he's doing.

Hardball! I wonder at what point this morning after that leak did the NeverTrumpers realize they'd been played?

Best election in my lifetime.

I think they took a dinner break.

Meanwhile, a humor break here:
