The Rules Committee may have just ensured mass disobedience.

When @realDonaldTrump is not suing former staffers or attacking former R candidates, he asks aloud "why am I losing." It's not complicated.

Trump was always about destroying any Conservative opposition to Hillary, and hastening the destruction of the GOP and making the Uniparty Oligarchy official.

What more proof do you folks need?

That was then: the GOP selling us snake oil branded Bush, Bush, McCain,
and Romney.

This is now: The GOP is selling the snake.

Anti-Trump people get crushed at Rules Committee. It was never in doubt: Convention will honor will of people & nominate @realdonaldtrump.


The Russkie ass kisser gloats.

"Will of the people" means not allowing a debate or a vote. Wow.

I'm not voting for Johnson either, but he's better than Trump. That bug I just smashed was better than Trump.

Why don't the delegates simply abstain from voting! They still have that option don't they? If the get to a second ballot they won't be bound any longer.

I'm sorry but Doug Ocey from CA is pulling a dick move....after every almost amendment, wherein he asks to "Reconsider" thereby getting the NAY vote so the amendment can't be brought up again. :chairbang:

While I find this Rules Committee meeting of delegates interesting, I just wonder how many have been bought off...or threatened. :whistle:

There may be some sort of walk out based on what I'm reading (at least by two rules committee members).

That's beyond hysterical and hubris coming from someone who made Trump their prince.

Without double standards, Trump would have no standards at all.

That goes for Trump supporters too.  They have been lying to us for months, telling us that Trump is the anti-GOPe candidate.  Yet instead of challenging the existing leadership,  Trump is now in bed with them as they continue to shut out Conservatives like Mike Lee.

There was never one shred of indication that Trump was willing to fight against the GOPe.   Trump supporters just made it all up.  Liars!
If a political party does not have its foundation in the determination to advance a cause that is right and that is moral, then it is not a political party; it is merely a conspiracy to seize power.

-Dwight Eisenhower-


"The [U.S.] Constitution is a limitation on the government, not on private individuals ... it does not prescribe the conduct of private individuals, only the conduct of the government ... it is not a charter for government power, but a charter of the citizen's protection against the government."

This is a putsch.    Screw 'em all.   Bad people who don't deserve my respect.   I will enjoy the wilderness.   It's better than being soiled by Trumpism.   

There's still the possibility of abstentions rendering Trump unable to amass the needed number to prevail on the first ballot.   It's now time for Cruz, and Kasich, and Romney,  and Lee,  the once and future leaders who haven't to my knowledge been corrupted,  to speak up and urge delegates to abstain and walk off the damn floor.

Same here.  Of the four D-R-L-G party candidates, he is the least ridiculous.  If other conservatives cannot stomach his positions on one policy or another, I hope they will look for write-in or minor party options, rather than enable Trump.

I would like to see hundreds of delegates bolt.
