Rumors of a contested Republican convention continue to grow, as a new report from Politico discusses an off-the-record meeting about an open-convention process.
One America News has the details on that report, plus remarks from RNC member Morton Blackwell about possible rule changes ahead of the convention.

I’m with Blackwell!!
The Republican Party will officially die in Cleveland in July if this occurs.
They’ll dance all around it. Their sophistry will flow like water from a pipe. But in the end, it’s all a design for the party to derail the most popular candidate and install someone that they know all the dirt and affairs about. One of their own.
I find this very interesting. It really exposes how America has been dumbed down for decades. Can’t get into college through hard work? Water down the rules like lowering standards and test scores. Cant find a job because watching tv is more fun? No problem. Here’s a bunch of freebies. Can’t get into the military? Throw out a few rules. Can’t get allotted states per rules cuz you didn’t work hard enough? No problem. We’ll get rid of qualifications so everyone can play regardless of results.
Same here. In 1978, I took one of his weekend-long seminars on political activism. I'm glad to see that he's still in there pitching.
Excellent post napscoordinator!
Thank you very much! Happy Easter!
Same to you!
They do so at their own risk. Instead what I think they will do is help Democrats cheat to elect Hillary, so they can claim see we told you Donald couldn’t beat Hillary. Problem might be Donald wins by a landslide and they are unable to cheat to that degree.
“The Republican Party will officially die in Cleveland in July if this occurs.”
Oh, they will do it, the Stupid party ALWAYS rushes to choose the most supremely stupid option, and this is it. They will do it, and the Republican Party will die....not that it would be a bad thing, necessarily.
Let it die and then we can rise anew from the ashes of the GOP’s corpse. Unfortunately, we may not have a country left after Hillary torpedoes it.
Fitting the GOP started in Wisconsin and Wisconsin people will end it
Whether rule changes or whatever, Trump will NOT be the nominee. The GOP* just will not allow it to happen.
*...I purposely left off the “e”...
They already changed rule 40B because Trump is the only one who got 8 State Majority
When Morton Blackwell speaks, tens of thousands whom he has trained to be politically competent through his Leadership Institute listen and usually follow.
We’ve been hearing a steady drumbeat from Trump opponents to the tune of “hey if you don’t get a majority of delegates, n contested convention is perfectly fair because it’s just playing by the rules”.
But now, the establishment isn’t even comfortable playing by the rules (excepting Blackwell, apparently). So the establishment does in fact have plans to change the rules during the game. Hypocrites!
