BREAKING: ‘Almost Physical’ Arm Twisting By Priebus And Trump Forces To Force States To Withdraw Roll Call Petition

Dana Bash, talking with people behind the scenes here at the RNC, gave an explanation on CNN for that surprise moment when it was announced that 3 of the 9 states that had petitioned for a roll call vote had withdrawn them.

Both sides were more than ready for conflict when the Rules Committee vote came up, shouting at each other almost immediately. Some were yelling "roll call vote!" while others hollered "we want Trump" and the rest shouted "USA, USA, USA".

There may have been official resolution of the question, but there was little resolution between the two sides. Shouts continued through the remainder of the afternoon's proceedings, particularly groups yelling
"WE WANT TRUMP" at States who filed petition while their delegates were leaving, because classy.

It seems the RNC and the Trump people were prepared to quash opposition. And quash they did. The ayes did not have it.

Addendum: Rosie Gray has the names of the states that withdrew:

Four Iowa delegates were just on MSNBC and said they were never polled about withdrawing their signatures.

Eric Erickson hasn't written for Red State in eight months.

Showcases the absolute genius "negotiating skills" Trump and his people will have in making deals.

[geronl]

They are using similar tactics to the ones employed against the recall in Venezuela

[Mechanicos]

So this confirms it was a lie the Anti's had the votes for the petition. Can't be both....

They won't have the chance to make any deals.  Trump's going to lose in November, and there's going to be wailing and rending of garments like you never experienced this side of the Old Testament, lol.

Tonight Major Garrett reminded viewers that the current Mrs. Trump is the 3rd Mrs. Trump. The free media His Orangeness was less than flattering.

I guess nobody saw that coming, eh?

And even worse, the spouse of the democrats is a well known rapist, convicted perjurer, disbarred lawyer

Yup, it can't be both.  What it actually was was a putsch.

Naw. They won't wail and rend their garments. They'll just point their fingers and the people who said they would never support Trump to begin with and claim that we somehow let them down.

They let themselves down by nominating this clown.

That will happen next. And the Trump supporters will cheer it loudly.

I think that term is probably the best identifier and description of what took place.

Of course it began in 2012 with a similar empowerment rule change 12, also 'deemed' to have passed by voice vote.
