Convention drama: Trump campaign stops rules rebellion
CNN ^ | 7/18/2016 | Stephen Collinson

GOP officials crushed an attempt to change party rules

Spicer downplayed the idea the aborted rebellion was a sign of discontent in the party.

"Forty-four states were in support. This is a tiny, tiny group of folks that have made noise," he said.

Iirc, the Mormons only killed the men—AFTER promising not to. Then they forced the grieving widows to immediately wash all the blood out of all the clothes, a task that required three days to complete.

The lying, murderous men then took the widows and any girls deemed old enough as wives. It was no different than the Muslims would have done—vicious, barbaric and dishonorable from start to finish.

“Many conservatives with principles have left the GOP and have become Independent.”
__________________________________________________________

You just described me.

I moved from one town here in Maine to another in the summer of 2006.

I had to re-register to vote anyway, and at the time, that dufus George W. Bush was pushing amnesty.

His “See you at the signing” was the last straw. I re-registered as an independent. And no, I have NOT voted for any democrats, since registering as an independent.

“Send them out to “mingle” with the BLM thugs.”

Within 5 minutes, they will be pounding the locked doors,
screaming to be let back in.

First, make an announcement on loud speakers that some Republicans want to talk to the BLMers before opening the doors and using cattle prods to move them along! and out the doors!

“The real pro American anti globalist base voted for Trump. Closing primaries will not change that.”

Exactly right! That’s why these anti-Trump morons need to be run out of the GOP. We’ve put up with their antics for decades. All their “principled nonsense.” All of their roadblocks trying to get their own way. We need a GOP that is more than a haven for these loons.

I did not vote for a delegate, I voted for Trump.

If the delegate assigned to delivering the winning Trump votes from my district to the convention suddenly has a “change of heart”, this is NOT free speech, this is usurpation of my right to vote.

Delegate Freedom Means Voter Disfranchisement

Corporate globalists(neo fascists) selling out America do not deserve control of one of two political parties.

Yep. Their rank and file also have the most conservative voting demographic of any denomination in America. If Roman Catholics and/or two of the larger Protestant denominations voted like Mormons, then the Democrat Party would be confined to a handful of metro enclaves in the northeast and on the left coast.

Just my opinion, but I do believe that We The People are “fed up” with political hacks and traitors. And, that goes for the slithering vermin in this Administration and in Congress.

Living in Utah, I can honestly say that Mike Lee is a total idiot, dumber than last years bird's nest, and a total fake...

He took up with the likes of Ted Cruz, who is connected to Glen Beck, should tell you all you need to know there...

We have a ‘tranny’ running against Mr. Lee, guess what: after yesterday's trick, the ‘tranny’ will win!!!

We are as fed up with this crap as the rest of America, and if the Mormons don't like it, move to Navoo, that's where your suppose to be heading anyways!!!

Mormons make their own enemies wherever they go.

“I’ll bet you Kendal Unruh got notes home to her parents when she was a child sa”ying:”does not work well with others!”

I woulduv guessed Kendal got notes that said she was the teacher’s pet; I always found those super “good” girls to be the most mindless ones, mindlessly bought into the meme-du-jure. They also tended to be self-righteous as hell too, thinking they were better than everyone else, not listening or paying attention to anyone except the “authorities”.

I bet that both of you are correct. Kendal Unruh was teacher’s pet and didn’t play well with others, who knew that she was a first class backstabbing snitch....

The Mormons always reminded me of Islam, because of the desert thing, I decided.
