Republican Operatives Launch All-Out Effort To Unbind The Delegates And Deny Trump Nomination
The Ecomic Collapse ^ | 06/19/16 | Michael Snyder

If you think that Donald Trump already has the Republican nomination locked up, then you don’t understand what is going on behind the scenes.  It has long been my contention that the elite will move heaven and earth in order to keep Trump from ever setting foot in the Oval Office.  One way that they could try to do this is by attempting to deny him the nomination at the Republican convention next month.  Over the past couple of days, the Washington Post, CNN and a whole host of other mainstream news outlets have been reporting on a new “last-ditch effort” that has been launched by Republican operatives to get the Republican convention Rules Committee to unbind all of the delegates and allow them to vote however they want.  As you will see below, they can do this, and if they get enough votes they will do it.

This current effort is different from what we have seen so far during this campaign season, because it is actually being organized by the delegates themselves.  The following comes from the Washington Post

Dozens of Republican convention delegates are hatching a new plan to block Donald Trump at this summer’s party meetings, in what has become the most organized effort so far to stop the businessman from becoming the GOP presidential nominee.

The moves come amid declining poll numbers for Trump and growing concern among Republicans that he is squandering his chance to defeat Democrat Hillary Clinton. Several controversies — including his racial attacks on a federal judge, his renewed call to temporarily ban Muslims from entering the United States and his support for changing the nation’s gun laws —

No, the votes of the electoral college mean everything.

It doesn't matter.

If the rejects succeed in blocking Trump on the first ballot, the resulting violence in that convention center will make the hall look like an abattoir.

Now that we have a real leader with some balls, if we have to take it to the White Hut with pitchforks and rope, we're ready.

We're all the way there now. Time to pay the piper, D.C.

I meant it in a light hearted way, hearkening back to the great debate of the winter and spring. No offense.

“They are not republican operatives...they are Romney operatives. Period.”

I think you are correct. What we are seeing is the game plan from the get-together with Mitt in Utah. People like Ryan are putting the plan in motion. I would be interested to know if Cruz is involved in this at all?

You don’t think that Trump people would have done the same thing if Cruz was the nominee?

Actually, I don't.

>It’s like the Ron Paul Candidates. There are some very pissed off Cruz people. SO WHAT? You don’t think that Trump people would have done the same thing if Cruz was the nominee?

Nope. I wouldn’t have gone for it. When you destroy the laws of a system then you destroy the system. Destroy the laws a political system and you get warfare in the streets. Ted Cruz and is die hard supporters are very short term thinkers and their short term goals of winning at any cost will destroy everything even if they win.

I would expect fighting in the street between Cruz and Trump supporters if Cruz pulled off his illegal coup.

Ron Paul is an idiot and we know a few with sour grapes who got beat and cannot stand it. They are punks-not men.
