The Republican convention appears to be facing a rocky opening both inside and outside the arena inside, from forces loyal to Ted Cruz mulling a procedural fight...

“One threat the Cruz forces are said to be holding over the heads of the RNC and the Trump campaign is the specter of a large group of delegates in the hundreds simply leaving town after Cruz speaks on Wednesday night, exposing the nominee to the prospect of televised images of empty seats in the Quicken Loans Arena.”
There are thousands of Trump supporters standing by to fill oathbreaker Felito’s seats.
You’ve made up your mind without validating a media claim? How nice
“One threat the Cruz forces are said to be holding... is the specter of a large group of delegates..simply leaving town after Cruz speaks on Wednesday night”
If that is a threat, cancel Cruz’s speech and tell the Cruz delegates adios, sayonara, and don’t let the door hit your asses on the way out.
Ken Cuccinelli? As a former resident of Virginia who has a lot of respect for Ken Cuccinelli this really disappoints me. I would think that Ken would be dissatisfied with the establishment Republicans as they didn’t really help him as much as they could have when he was running for Governor.
Yank his speaking slot Wednesday. This guy is a complete and total POS.
it’s called trying to drive ratings...they have been doing it for months.
I think this article was written yesterday, on speculation of what would happen today and going forward...
Not journalism in my mind.
BTTT
officials loyal to Cruz led by former Virginia Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli and Sen. Mike Lee of Utah have been bargaining with the Republican National Committee and Donald Trump campaign over procedural changes they failed to secure in last weeks Rules Committee sessions.
What leverage does Cruz have anyway
>> I didn’t know I was a Canadian citizen when I ran for the Senate until the media exposed it. <<
Lies? So you’re saying that he was secretly trying to remain a Canadian citizen until those pesky journalists exposed him?
>> I told trusting Texas voters wifey and I were liquidating family assets so I could get into the Senate. <<
Putting a second mortgage on a house *is* liquidating family assets.
>> I didn’t know I was supposed to tell the FEC I borrowed over a million from my Wall Street margin accounts to fund my campaign. I told Mark Levin the borrowed funds were used for campaign ads....but I didn’t report this as required. <<
Glad to know you’re a mind-reader. Obviously, he reported these facts on other public documents because he never expected that the news media would look at his FEC filings when he ran for president. It’s an unforced blunder. Maybe you don’t want someone who hires staff who makes such blunders. But to call it a load of BS is just stupid.
Just yesterday Cruz said he couldn’t endorse Trump because he’s still evaluating him. Translation, still trying to decide who’s worse, Hillary or Trump.
Does anyone have a live stream of the convention???

Agree 100%. Besides, nothing will have more people changing channels faster than a Cruz speech.
I am guessing a media exaggeration. The front page of our liberal newspaper yesterday, had a huge article about how the convention is expected to be a 3-ring circus, with Trump as the ringmaster. The MSM is just trying to take every chance to characterize the convention in that way, and has no interest in honesty. They are tools for HRC.
Same here!
That’s what I thought.
Cruz forces are 12 delegates including Mike Lee and his wife and Kendal Unruh.
Total exaggeration. Watching the convention on c-span and all looks great.
That I agree is a no no...if Cruz has not yet arrived and his folks are squabbling that is one thing but how does anyone know that in his speech before the convention he isn’t completetly conciliatory and fully supportive of Trump providing his full endorsement and gives the reasons why?
We don’t, no one does.
This was a complete mud sliding campaign from all sides with little to any substance whatsoever. Like always it was campaign slogans and no particulars. While fun, the primaries left little to substance and more of insults (from all sides). In the end the people who suffer the most are we the American people
Quiet start to convention. Press reaching for headlines.
