During the RNC’s Rules Committee meeting, grassroots conservatives were crushed by the establishment. Openness, transparency, and the rights of the minority lost yesterday in Cleveland. It was a rout.
Sure, the headlines coming out of the Rules Committee meeting yesterday were that Free the Delegates and Delegates Unbound were soundly defeated. Hidden under the headlines is the fact that time and time again measures to devolve power to the members of the RNC and away from the chair were soundly defeated - ________
As the meeting finally got underway any rule that would have placed limits or checks on the Chair of the Republican Party was soundly defeated. These rules included allowing committees to elect their own chairmen, requiring the presence of a parliamentary professional at all RNC meetings, lessening the grip of the chair on the budget committee, among others. Every attempt was quickly characterized as an attack on Priebus. Priebus’ allies always couched their arguments against transparency in a veil of teamwork and unity. -

That should properly read:
GOP crushes Clinton supporters in rules committee
I forgot that part. Thanks
No, they can no longer take it away from Trump. That is what the Rules Committee meetig was about.
All they can do now is cause disruptions and raise hell if not stopped.
Trump is the nominee.
I agree. The Tea Party were successful in the Colorado Caucasus which really bugged Hannity. Chris Christie paid $175,000 to crush Conservative Tom Tancredo in last Colorado governor race to get demonicrat Checkenpooper elected. Keep your democrat/gop party bosses and don't expect me to vote for old party losers.
This particular complaint, in this instance, is indeed limited to those not supportive of Trump. Because the few are trying their best to negate the choice of the people. In so doing they are insuring that the outcome of the election will benefit Hillary.The consequences of Hillary becoming President will be that no Republican will ever control the levers of power. Conservatives can kiss their dreams goodbye forever as well. The fact that they are too stupid to recognize this fact is almost scary beyond belief, and gives this conservative a bad taste to say the least.
Give it up idiots.

you my want to get over high image of yourself, you assume a lot just based on the date my current posting account was set up, and you are very wrong.

So was that the Establishment crushing grassroots conservatives also?
Exactly. There were only two conservatives, Cruz and Lee, and both are sore losers trying to Jimmy the system to defy the overwhelming voice of the voters.
If it had been Trump v Cruz from the beginning, I think Trump would have gotten a clear majority.
great wrant but you are still wrong
Well the article is from Conservative Review, so you know it's B S
Trump is the evil Establishment now? When did that happen?
I believe the continent was named first, then mexico was a country, then the US of A and maybe Canada chose it’s country name last, but we are all part of the continent of the northern part of America
As for your last question you assume thats what I should say but you are wrong.
did so many people not learn about continents and countries and the differences in grade school?
Amerigo vespucci (sp?) and others who came before USofA was even a bunch of colonies?
you all seem to want to rewrite history as the dems are doing.
Mountainlion you called it correctly.
The term "conservative" has no meaning anymore. Big government, endless wars we have no intention of winning while importing enemy combatants and putting them on welfare,, massive bank bailouts, unlimited open borders, and ignoring existing laws on immigration are the new conservatism.
It’s a locator, you fool.
The term “conservative” has no meaning anymore???
Sounds like you have communism and conservatism mixed up. I am a classic conservative.
Cruz and Romney are as conservative as Soros, their partner.
The Cruzbots loved “The Rules” when they were stealing states.
You keep using that word: “Conservatives” . . .
Lemme think about that while I go take my morning Mitt... :)
