Priebus chooses Romney ally to chair convention rules committee
American Thinker ^ | June 18, 2016 | Rick Moran

Posted on 06/18/2016 7:43:29 AM PDT by maggief

RNC Chairman Reince Priebus tapped former congressman Enid Mickelsen to chair the all-important rules committee during the convention.

Just two weeks ago, Enid had this to say about the presidential race:

Ryan Struyk @ryanstruyk

Enid Mickelsen just named chair of GOP convention rules panel. Here's what she told Salt Lake Tribune two weeks ago.

She has also spoken approvingly of the idea that the rules could be changed to allow delegates to vote for someone other than a candidate they are bound to by result of primary or caucus.

It's unkown if Trump was consulted about the choice.

“Warning! If the rules committee changes any rules that eliminate Trump we will start a civil war that the Government will never forget.”

Yeah, from their couch with their clickers.

Seriously, what are you going to do if they do it?

The fix is in , there is trouble ahead, Time for Trump to send his tough guy
who has dealt with dictators in to “Lay Down the Law”. Time for bringing in
Paul Manafort to bust heads.

I don’t trust Reindeer he is a Wisconsin snake like Ryan and Walker.

Wow. If they don’t want Trump to win, oh well then. Lets see how they’ll end up in 2020 or 2024.

Trump needs to get personally involved, and he needs one of his top people actively involved on a full time basis.

This is not the moment to say “I double-dog dare you” to the establishment. They think their jobs depend on stealing the nomination.

This is not the moment to walk out and let Hillary win. Our country’s survival depends on stopping Hillary.

This is the moment to fight full time. Trump needs to get in there and maneuver for control of the rules committee, then he needs to monitor his people on that committee to make sure they stay loyal.

I know “Cruz” is a bad word on FR these days, but he is exactly the man Trump needs. Cruz and his team studied the primary and general election, state by state, in more detail than anyone else alive. With the right deal, Cruz could deliver a fair set of rules and a larger landslide of delegate votes at the convention. With the right deal, Cruz could give Trump a great ground operation in a whole lot of important states. Trump needs to sit down with Supreme Court Justice Cruz and make it happen, or the alternative could make 1861-1865 look mild. Yes, Cruz said some things that thoroughly annoyed me, and worse (e.g., blaming Trump for thug violence), but he’d be the best man to help Trump beat the corrupt establishment.

Whether with Cruz or without him, Trump needs to get active on this issue. His 13 million voters are leverage, but they are not enough unless he’s personally involved with this process.

Let’s come up with a nickname adjective for Priebus. My suggestion would be Pr!ck Priebus.

I've been calling him 'Rancid Penis' for a while now. I had hopes that he had finally had a come-to-Jesus moment with his recent statements regarding Hiliarly, but apparently he just can't give up those RINO tendencies.

As long as they stay on the “gravy train” that’s all they care about. They are the enemy within!

“Warning! If the rules committee changes any rules that eliminate Trump we will start a civil war that the Government will never forget. America is totally fed up with government.”

Trump needs to fire a shot across the bow of these guys, especially the RNC chair , what is behind backing this woman? Trump needs to control this convention so as to leave nothing to chance.

You know all of this is becoming so preposterous that I’m beginning to think this must be a hoax or game plan by the party establishment to bring in millions upon millions of people to tune in to watch the convention.... what other explanation can there be! Either way Trump will get the nomination... and because of all the hoopla and tantrum commotion by establishment millions Especially the mediascumbags Will tune in by the droves to watch the convention.... it’s a win-win situation for Mr. Trump !

“I don’t know, what are you going to do about it?”

Laugh.

But it won’t happen.

If it does, it would be funny.

Here is what I am going to do. I am voting for the a Republican nominee in November so as to defeat Hillary Clinton or whoever is the Democratic nominee.

I fully expect the Republican nominee to be Donald Trump.

But if the GOPe pull it off and defeat Trump, well then, they won and beat Trump.

This is politics. All’s fair and anything goes and Donald Trump would be the first to acknowledge that.

But that is not going to happen.

They are really trying to destroy the party and the country, aren’t they?

Much of the Republican House and Senate are really communists Democrats and are steal our Country blind. They have supported King Obama and are America worst terrorists. At the State level, vote all current Republicans our of office and vote in only non politicians. A complete turnover is a must. Can't trust anyone.
