Delegate Call (FREEP OPPORTUNITY) [update at post 38]

Delegates Unbound ^

[relictele]

I agree with most of your sentiment but there shouldn’t be shame associated with voting one’s principles.

The problem is that any Delegate Unbound movement will attract the Bush/Romney wing of the party even if it’s a Cruz movement.

Meanwhile, Cruz is less visible than Hillary these days. Nursing his wounds or what?

[HarleyLady27]

In 140 letters, they know, oh do they know!!!

[raybbr]

I don’t see a reference to Cruz at your link. Do you have proof Cruz is behind this or are you just speculating?

[libstripper]

The trouble is the only thing you get for it is the opportunity to vote against them in their push poll. In return they get all your identifying data and will be able endlessly to spam you. They might also end up representing that you’re one of their members. Hey, I’ve just done a good job of talking myself out of participating in that poll.

Their “movement” is, indeed, a traitorous, un-American horror, truly a rancid bowel movement.

[sockmonkey]

Thanks Hildy. I told them they are Banana Republicans if they choose to not honor the majority of voters.

[Donglalinger]

I didn’t do any speculation, I cut and pasted a quote from the story.

If you click down at the bottom of the website “Contact Us,” I believe you can send email.

Oh, he's a former fundraiser for Cruz and so, naturally, Cruz is behind it. Got proof?

“Oh, he’s a former fundraiser for Cruz and so, naturally, Cruz is behind it. Got proof?”
Did I say Cruz was behind it,or are you making that up?

[libstripper]

Thanks.

[libstripper]

Thanks.

Been a big Cruz supporter. (Been reading his newsletters for a couple years.)

Living in D.C. heard some grumbling from Republicans over the years on Capital Hill that Cruz was in it for himself. Passed it off that these people were rinos. Not so sure anymore.

ALSO, Came across this today:
Hacked Email Shows Democrat Party to Spend $800,000 to Disrupt RNC and Harass Delegates

Is Ted in a way helping them?

I have major reservations concerning Trump but the bottom line is Vote for the Constitution!!! At least Trump gives this Republic a chance to survive via the Supreme Court.

Thanks for keeping us posted !

CRUZ met with Trump this morning and is going to be allowed to speak at the convention without endorsing him. Pisses me off
Topic is staying true to the constitution. Really Canadian?

[Randy Larsen]

Good for you Hildy! Thank God you have the will to face them down!

[relictele]

Lord knows I want ideological purity but to defeat this enemy we’re going to have to sing his song.

The Democrats have infested society and government because they win first and implement second.

Republicans, bless us, have been trying to implement (read: persuade) and then win. Obviously it’s not working out although our local and state trend is promising.

But DC is the New Rome and it must fall before it can be rebuilt.

Their “movement” is, indeed, a traitorous, un-American horror, truly a rancid bowel movement.

I certainly agree with that! This #NeverTrump "vote your conscience" movement would instantly elevate all primary delegates to "superdelegate" status. This is hardly a conservative proposal. Rather, it comes straight out of the Left Progressive playbook, to create an unaccountable ruling elite. This cuts at the very heart of American liberty and our constitutional rule of law.

We are, after all, a government of laws, not of men -- a government of, by, and for the People.

But any expected miracle at the Convention can only come about if the Rules Committee enacts the "vote your conscience" rule. If they do, the GOP is dead. Dead as a doornail. I think the Rules Committee understands this. Certainly, Reince Priebus clearly understands this. So I doubt the Rules Committee would do anything that suicidal.

But blockheads like Senator Sasse -- who is an Asse -- just don't get it. The #NeverTrump crowd wants another candidate, mainly Ted Cruz I suspect, whom I originally supported; that is, until Iowa....

Never mind that the people of the several States, in their conventions or primaries, have already made their choice, in the biggest GOP primary turnout ever, out of a field of 18 candidates. But the #NeverTrump crowd insanely thinks it can simply override the primary results, and substitute their own judgment for that of 13 million primary voters.

Question: Are they nutz??? Answer: YES. Certifiably insane.

Just a thought: If a man is to be judged by the company he attracts and keeps, then I'd have to say Ted Cruz is a total loser. One of his supporters, who knows I plan to vote for Trump, has told me in no uncertain terms that Trump is evil through and through, and so I must be evil, too, since I support him. He added that he "opposed" Trump, and therefore he "opposed" me, and what did I plan to do about it?

Sigh. You cannot reason with these people. I know three-year-olds with more common sense. Plus they seem to be living in another world, a looking-glass, down-the-rabbit-hole world. You just can't reach these people.... (Though Heaven knows I've tried.)

libstripper, I'm not going to get involved with that "vote your conscience" site or its push-poll. There's no point in dignifying it with my presence.

Thanks so much for writing!

I received this from DELEGATES UNBOUND Today (Check out the address at the bottom. K STREET The establishment would rather see Hillary win and destroy the Republican Party than lose their power. And there are people falling for it:

"[On the Donald]: I wasn't particularly impressed." "I wasn’t particularly impressed. It was the normal stream of consciousness, long on hyperbole." - Republican Rep. Mark Sanford (R-SC) Donald Trump met with GOP Congressmen and Senators on Thursday, and the reaction: "Meh."

The Washington Post sums it up in their headline: "It’s very, very hard to understand what Donald Trump is doing right now."

To recap Donald Trump's week:
• New California poll has Donald Trump reaching 'historic lows' in presidential race.
• He's allying with the Virginia Democratic Attorney General to try and stop delegates from voting their conscience.
• A new Reuters poll has him losing to Hillary Clinton by 13.
• He fell short of matching Hillary Clinton's fundraising in June.
• He doubled down on his anti-Semitic sharegraphic by comparing it to Disney's Frozen.
• And now the people that are supposed to be campaigning hard for him - Republican elected officials - are sitting on their hands.
The Washington Post is right. His campaign doesn't have any real plan or strategy. But it's easy to understand what they aren't doing: winning.

There's still time for our party to fix this. Read about how this movement is growing stronger every day! It's time for delegates to follow their conscience and choose their values at the Convention. Watch our national TV ad "Follow Your Conscience" and visit delegatesunbound.com to learn more.

I received this from DELEGATES UNBOUND Today (Check out the address at the bottom. K STREET. The establishment would rather see Hillary win and destroy the Republican Party than lose their power. And there are people falling for it:

But of course, if they destroy the Party, they lose their power. This is the absurdity at the root of the #NeverTrump fanatic's thinking.

The Rules Committee meets tomorrow. Heaven only knows how many Committee delegates have fallen under the sway of DELEGATES UNBOUND's "vote your conscience" siren song.

But what DU is proposing would be suicidal for the Party.

There's not a dime's worth of difference between a delegate who, instead of voting the candidate preference determined by the various States' primary elections or caucuses, substitutes his own judgment for that of voters in his home State -- and a "Superdelegate," which we deplore when we see them in the Democrat party.

For "Superdelegate," read: Influential Party Insider. If the Rules Committee ratifies the "vote your conscience" rule, this is tantamount to turning all Convention delegates into Superdelegates -- which means rule by elites, not rule by the vox populi, or by consent of the governed.

The GOP would be DEAD if the RNC lets this go forward.

Of the DELEGATES UNBOUND promoters, all I can say is, these guys insist on getting the WHOLE loaf of bread; they'd rather starve to death than settle for HALF a loaf (which would allow them to keep their power and their base and live to fight another day). They are idiotes. And Jim Sasse is an Asse.

JMHO FWIW

Thanks, Hildy, for keeping us up-to-date!
