What should be recorded now are NAMES! States representing, etc.
Doing everything they can possibly think of to flout the will of the electorate, defend their elitist bailiwick, and nominate someone, anyone, besides Trump - thus handing the election to Hllary and forever destroying the Republican party.
These careerist pols have absolutely no shame.
#NeverTrump died with the leak of Gov Mike Pence’s name. It is all over but watching the paint dry.
The pink-panty never-Trumps will make some half-assed, faint hearted, childish attempts to “stop Trump” and when the Trumpers kick them in the crotch, and urinate down their throats, the never-Trumps will fade out like a fart in a hurricane!
They are really in the weeds. 12 vs 24 hours for notify rules amendments... Good night
It's easy. Anyone wanting a rule change is in the anti-Trump camp.
I think some of these folks just want face time on CSPAN. A lot of this is BS.
no thanks, I’ve already had a good BM today.
When the RNC convention Rules Committee reconvened after lunch it seems that a deal that was nearly done, i.e., giving Reince Priebus a drama-free convention in exchange for some concessions in the 2020 primary schedule pushed by Ken Cuccinelli that would have ostensibly benefited Ted Cruz, has completely broken down.http://www.redstate.com/streiff/2016/07/14/breaking.-potential-deal-end-rnc-rules-committee-fight-breaks/(snip)
This also seems like it carries the subtext of Priebus basically telling #DelegatesUnbound to "bring it on."
Sounds good for Trump.
There are VERY FEW “#NeverTrump”’s.
They are largely a fiction created by a media desperate to make Hillary President while currying favor for themselves from the Democrat Party.
These idjots want face time on CSpan. Witch Unruh just lost an amendment. But it wasn’t the main event.
@NRO person tweeting who is following the meeting. Probably a NT’er since NRO.

(BTW, I propose an amendment to the amendment to the amendment to remove all NeverTrumper delegates and replace them with a 2-pound pile of horse dung in their chair. This action would significantly improve the acrid stench that is making its way through the cyberwaves from the NeverTrumpers, as well as increase the inane intelligence level in the room. Are there any discussions? No? Will all of those who are in agreement with this amendment to the amendment to the amendment, please say “Aye.” :-)
Just tuned in. My Committeeman, Bruce Ash, speaking now.
In an article I posted from NBC, they claim they are taking it to the floor regardless if they get a minority report (we’ll see). For the record, Lonegan and Unruh are both Cruz delegates. 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.
Mike Lee, UT and Morton Blackwell, VA made motion to strike Rule 12 from 2012, a rule that allows RNC to amend previously adopted rules by a 3/4ths vote. (I think this is the rule pushed by Romney last time so they could prevent Rand Paul from getting more control on the floor, or something like that. Y’all correct me if I’m wrong about that).
Amendment FAILED, 86 to 23.
Take THAT, Mitt Romney. Hoisted by your own petard!
Morton Blackwell now standing up using words like “outrage for the conservative grass roots” and blah, blah, blah about something else they’ve moved on to discussing. Hmmm... I think he’s a little p.o.’d.
If they fail, I can’t wait to check out the Never Trump brigade on Twitter.
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.
A sane person would automatically vote yea and immediately move on to the next question. Of course, the RNC morons would debate this obvious answer and then chair it. It's going to be a long and frustrating convention.
