Not so fast: Defeated anti-Trump delegates vow trouble during the convention
Washington Post ^ | July 15, 2016 | Ed O'Keefe

The Never Trump agitators have been defeated, but they say they’re not going away.

Republicans who failed to change party rules here this week and stop Donald Trump from winning the party’s presidential nomination are threatening to cause chaos on the floor of the national convention next week. Bruised by the way party leaders handled debate on a series of proposed rule changes, leaders of anti-Trump groups vowed Friday to find ways to draw at least some political blood when the party meeting begins Monday.

The options are limited, and attempts to cause trouble at political conventions are usually quickly thwarted. But anti-Trump activists who spent weeks trying to play within the party structure now say they will do what Trump hates the most — find a way to embarrass him.

“If they thought they were going to have the nice, unified kumbaya show, they just completely guaranteed they’re not going to have it,” said Kendal Unruh, a GOP delegate from Colorado who led an anti-Trump group.

“...what a bunch of idiots FReepers who used such ridiculous lies to attack Ted Cruz were.”

Very little that’s been said here about Cruz was ridiculous, or inaccurate. The man proved himself to be someone far different than who we early supporters thought he was.

It’s precisely why he lost.

Here are two of the chief disruptors (Lizzie & Jebsy), either sending secret signals to each other about their disruptive plans (which they will coordinate from outside the convention), or perhaps they are just feeling a little bit frisky today...

I answered that in my first reply along with how do I know Trump will get a bounce from trouble at the convention. So you can stop spamming me.

I’ll let you get back to your festivities.

“This vile Piece of Work brings shame upon herself. She claims to be a Christian. Only God knows that, of course.

What I see is an arrogant, full of herself, attention-grabbing, “I know better than the voters I’m supposed to represent” embarrassment to Christianity.

I hope she is held personally accountable for her actions. If I hope parents where she works in the small private Christian school (teaching Government Classes) watch her every action and word like a hawk, and hold her accountable for every possible infraction.”

I’ve noticed that when I look on the Twitter profile pages of the #nevertrump knuckledraggers, they have “Christian” on their profile, often with Bible verses. They honestly think they are the “Best Christians Ever”. Sickening.

Their actions and words are anything but. The same “Best Christians Ever” have posted the most vile lies about Trump and his supporters. They were also responsible for a vulgar, juvenile hashtag about Trump a few months ago. They would constantly tweet that hashtag, giggling like schoolgirls, then start preaching. I let a few of them have it about their hypocrisy.

I honestly despise these traitors as much as I despise avowed liberals, maybe more. They proclaim to be conservative but are working hard to elect Hillary. In my book, that’s pure evil.

At this point, Kristol’s behavior is borderline psychotic. He should be prevented from getting close to the convention center by the secret service as an imminent threat to Trump.

“Soros is said to have an entire floor of a hotel reserved for his hired hand “protestors.” Between that and the hacked twitter messages among top BLM leaders (conversations about creating chaos to unseat Trump, with help from their “insider” people on the convention floor).

Yeah, I’d say there’s a chance that Unruh is one of the people hired to work the inside for Hillary.”

I’ve seen a pic of this Unruh creature. I believe she’s a liberal infiltrator because she has that certain “liberal look”.

Either way, she’s certainly a vile creature.

They need to grow the eff up.

Or be locked up. I’m comfortable with that.

False. You have refused to answer my simple, polite question repeatedly. You posted that Trump will get no bounce from his veep choice, yet you cannot explain how you know this prior to the formal announcement. You’re just spreading false info re Trump and Pence, and refusing to justify it.

Yes. They must be ostracized.

They are infiltrators. Democrat lawyers began registering as republicans in heavily republican districts about 10-15 years ago to try and soften the GOP underbelly in the heartland.

They’re moles. Period.

Replace every single one of them

Particularly the Unruh witch.

“Are these people totally crazy or have they all been paid off by Hillary?”

The organizers were paid off by Soros and/or Clinton.

But there might be a few just plain stupid people in the mix.

It’s been an amazing saga, from “he won’t last 3 weeks” to “We’re going to act like Democrats at the convention”.

So, will they have a fart-in, the way Sanders delegates are planning to do to Hillary?

Definitely not Christ-like behavior...

Are you saying that WaPo is putting words in Unruh’s mouth?

I am saying they are putting a mega phone in front of any mouth that expresses dissent.

They have already pushed the narrative that the rule change thing had a chance when it didn't, and now they are trying to stoke the fires of resentment giving the antitrumpers more false hope that can be turned to anger when the hopes are inevitably crushed.

They are not just reporting a fight they are agitating for it.
