Donald Trump won the New Hampshire presidential primary in February, but Republican Party officials are planning to block his delegates from places on the rules and platform committees at the July national convention, according to NHPR.
The slots would go to delegates that were assigned to Marco Rubio, Jeb Busch, John Kasich, and Ted Cruz, even though Trump won 35 percent of the vote, according to a report in Politico.
The committee assignments were released in a blind-carbon-copied email from the New Hampshire Republican Party's executive director, Ross Berry, according to a story in The Guardian.
A source in the Trump campaign told WMUR that the slate "has been taken as an affront by the leading GOP candidate."
New Hampshire Republican Party chairwoman Jennifer Horn is chairwoman of the delegation. She once called Trump "un-American," and she is "the focus of much of the anger from Trump supporters," according to NHPR's senior political reporter Josh Rogers.
The email required recipients to vote on the delegate candidates by May 2 at noon. Any delegate who wants to vote for a candidate other than the ones on the email list must go through a time-consuming process, The Guardian reports.
Trump's campaign manager Corey Lewandowski was among the delegates that were denied committee assignments. A Trump campaign official told Politico that the New Hampshire GOP cut a deal in "smoke-filled back room" like the "rigged" system that Trump has rallied against during his campaign.

The anti-Trump establishment is asking for a civil war.
make sure everyone is pissed-off at the GOP Central Committee and do it every day.
Just look at Kelly Ayotte.
The NH GOP has been seriously GOPe captured and owned for years.
Granite State people didn’t mean it: they weren’t really for Trump after al! Their preferred candidate, Mittens Romney, didn’t run again.
I would like to know if any of the Trump delegates got any other committee assignments.
Let’s review and see where we are...
.wrote this on a public blog back on September 4, 2015 [my 2016-05-02 updates in brackets]
Here’s my take:
Let’s say Trump stays on top during the primaries, and they see the nomination in his grasp. Here are the options for the RNC/GOPe/RINOs or whatever you call them:
1. Pass a new rule to an open ballot at the GOP convention, then threaten every delegate with campaign fund freeze out if they cast a vote for Trump on the floor. [pretty much trying this BEFORE the convention]
2. Start packing GOP caucuses with democrats (I suspect they’ll try this anyway) [didn’t have to. Dems are converting]
3. IRS audit of Trump or his family’s holdings. [only after they can’t stop him before Cleveland]
4. Swating of the Trump offices (if you don’t know what ‘swating is’, google it)
5. Someone or something represented by Gloria Alred (they always whip this card out when they are desperate. No doubt she’s on the bench waiting)
6. Deny Secret Service protection, drop itinerary details to your Central american or tango from team jihad currently climbing a southern fence. [checked your southern border recently?]
7. Give Secret Service protection, and insert “contractors-for-hire” within. Lookup “Plausible Deniability”.
8. Cause a mass causality incident; blame Trump’s rhetoric. [do I need to elaborate here?]
9. Come up with a reason he can’t get a security clearance, then run with it.
10. If none of the above works and Trump wins the nomination, either run a RINO as 3rd party, or the whole GOPe endorses the democrat nominee. [that’s been floated as well]
Oh, and BTW: To the enemies of America who are no doubt reading this and may be getting ideas, the way the political and economic climate is these days, ANY of these scenarios happening would probably ignite a 2nd civil war.
just my $02.
jimjohn - out.
WTF are you talking about?
Just look at Kelly Ayotte.
The NH GOP has been seriously GOPe captured and owned for years.
Ayotte will pull a jumpin Jim Jeffords if she is reelected and Trump wins. No doubt in my mind.
I take TR’s comment to be a tongue-in-cheek rationale from the GOPe for the delegate theft.
There … I fixed it.
Trumps campaign has exposed an entire party network of committed little facists operating a “ game” ‘ played by “ rules’ no outsider can breach
All piously couched as “ conservatism”
This makes who happy and why?
This is why there may never be another GOP president
.....Not if Trump wins this November.
Let’s see if “ they” allow us to nominate him, first
And then if “ they” don’t mount a 3rd party challenge to pull a “ Perot” on Trump and try to throw the election to Clinton even by 1%
Sounds like another lawyer trick from Lucifer’s minions.
They had better be careful about what they wish for.

And while they're at it they can take the rest of the elites who think they're sooooooo much better than the mere ‘people’ of this country.
Oh, and there's NEVER been a country run by ‘elites’ that didn't become corrupt - and ours would be no exception..(excluding monarchies - which do tend to work better than power hungry elite cultures... for reasons I don't understand)
Trump has the money. I wish he would sue the $hit out of these Red Hampshire GOPe sacks of crap.
Poor widdle soviet Red Hampshire...trying to play attention whore until the next Presidential primary cycle.
