See Cruz is still trying to take this convention over. The report out this morning on Fox Business was correct.

---

Yep. Pretty obvious Cruz is going to use this issue on the rules to strut about as the “grass roots” “true conservative”. You can see it coming a mile a when his surrogates like Cuccinelli are smearing Trump as establishment.

[MORONS Errrrrrrrrr I man MORMONS, must think they are above the rules]

Apparently they are desperate to put ROMNEY in as the savior of the MORMON WHITE HORSE PROPHESY.

The White Horse Prophecy is a statement purported to have been made in 1843 by Joseph Smith, Jr., founder of the Latter Day Saint movement, regarding the future of the Latter Day Saints (Mormons) and the United States of America. The Latter Day Saints, according to the prophecy, would “go to the Rocky Mountains and ... be a great and mighty people”, identified figuratively with the White Horse described in the Book of Revelation. The prophecy further predicts that the United States Constitution will one day “hang like a thread” and will be saved “by the efforts of the White Horse”.

Some have speculated, on the basis of the White Horse Prophecy, that Mormons expect the United States to eventually become a theocracy dominated by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church).

The authenticity of the prophecy as a whole, which was not made public until long after Smith’s death, is debated, and the leadership of the LDS Church has stated that “the so-called ‘White Horse Prophecy’ ... is not embraced as Church doctrine.”

However, the belief that members of the LDS Church will one day need to take action to save the imperiled U.S. Constitution has been attributed to Smith in several sources and has been discussed in an approving fashion by Brigham Young and other LDS leaders.

Benedict Arnold was a great hero before he turned traitor. Cruz just told us he was a hero.

[JustSurrounded]

I simply cannot figure out how they see this playing out. Somehow, the guy who got more GOP primary votes than anyone before is sure to lose, but someone they stuff in who couldn’t win the primary, or didn’t even run, will pull it off. I just don’t get it.

[Kevin in California]

Wonder what Levin will have tosay today about his little baby Teddy Bear?

[Carthego delenda est]

Thanks for posting all the images!!!!

[tomkat]

She’s 65 years young!

<gasps>

You MUST be kidding ? !

[Right_in_Virginia]

I still say Trump in a landslide. Those few who walked out look foolish.

Yes, Trump wins!

This drama will be forgotten the moment Mrs. Trump takes the stage tonight. :-)

[who knows what evil?]

Clinton/Cruz 2016!

[JudyinCanada]

So I’m just listening to Fallin speaking. What’s happened? What the heck transpired and what is the meaning of it? Sorry, never seen this before.

[Right_in_Virginia]

Who’s 65?

[sockmonkey]

Synopsis: never trumps tried to stage a coup. Coup flopped as states pulled out, so threshold for rules coup was not met.
ESAD, NeverTrumperss.

[nutmeg]

I don’t get it either. The Never Trumpers — Ken Cuccinelli and Mike Lee included — are trying to THWART the will of the American people. That’s truly UN-American!!

[beethoven]

I hope you’re wrong! We need unification and to send a strong message of support for Trump.... HRC and her gang are certainly getting some propaganda sound bites today because if these fools.

[sheikdetailfeather]

Daniel Horowitz @RMConservative 5m5 minutes ago

The mics were turned off and Trump whip captains (who are not delegates) raised their voice to vote. This is worse than Dems #RNCinCLE

[exit82]

Gov. Mary Fallin (OK) reporting on work of the Platform Committee—112 delegates.

Now, Virginia Fox of VA up at podium.

[novemberslady]

FNC has some Demon rat strategist on reveling in this.
So I switch to OANN and it’s just airing the convention.

They kept paying more attention to the protestors than they deserved, so I put on cspan.
so far, so much better

[Pinkbell]

Yes. Revoke Cruz’s speaking slot.

[stars & stripes forever]

[What’s happened? What the heck transpired and what is the meaning of it? Sorry, never seen this before.]

We just witnessed a failed GOPe coup.

[Deo volente]

Who’s 65?

Judge Jeanine.
