Never Trump movement gets little help from convention rules panel roster
Politico, 06/24/2016, KYLE CHENEY

The Republican National Committee has released the list of the 112 members of the upcoming convention rules committee — a panel that will be the focal point of a struggle by anti-Donald Trump delegates to block the mogul's nomination at the Republican National Convention next month.

But Trump foes hoping the panel will help their cause are in for a disappointment, as the roster is stacked with officials who publicly support making Trump the nominee.

The list, which was sent to which was sent to members of the committee late Thursday and obtained by POLITICO, includes 38 members of the Republican National Committee — more than a third of the entire rules panel. So far, RNC members have largely taken their cues from chairman Reince Priebus and towed the line in support of Trump. RNC members like Henry Barbour of Mississippi, Harvey Tettlebaum of Missouri, Morton Blackwell of Virginia and Bill Palatucci of New Jersey will be returning for repeat appearances on the convention rules committee.

Nineteen members of the committee also served on the rules panel in 2012 and may have an advantage when it comes to understanding and maneuvering through the potentially lengthy process. This group includes Trump supporters like Massachusetts's Vincent DeVito, Pennsylvania's Lawrence Tabas and Tennessee's John Ryder, who's also counsel to the RNC.

Aren't we near the bottom of the supply of balloons, to be burst yet ??

BTW apparently a lot of elite, highly educated informed money was placed on the WRONG side of the Brexit vote yesterday.

Hence a lot of the crying is over money they lost, not necessarily the principle of the vote.

FYI the common man voted against this onslaught (border crashers at Calais).

I am very much a seeker of the small number of great truths. In the current case, the truth about the Brexit vote yesterday.

In the words of Englishman Rod Stewart, "Every Picture Tells a Story."



Note all warrior age males, not apparently from war torn Syria. As a Zenophobe, I can discern their racial profile, and so can people in the once great British Empire.

As for moving forward, it is far less about a few days on the stock and exchange markets, and almost entirely about the future of the respective nations and their civilizations. These migrants ain't bringing very much civilization, unless you count living criminal lifestyles on welfare.

Public acclamation of support for Trump only goes to the delegate count and does not necessarily represent their ideological belief.  Remember all the claims about Cruz working to get his delegates (Cruz supporters in TrumpSheep clothing)?
