Never Trump Movement Fails Twice On Key RNC Votes

Donald Trump’s allies on the national GOP convention Rules Committee crushed a proposal Thursday aimed at dumping Trump from the top of the Republican ticket — and they sealed its fate further by passing an amendment to ensure his nomination.

The proposal affirms that delegates are unambiguously bound to the results of primaries and caucuses — meaning they can’t break with the will of voters and Dump Trump at the convention. It passed 87 to 12, and its passage was the first official sign that anti-Trump forces lack the votes to block Trump’s path to the nomination.

Now we know why Cruz was keeping a low profile...playing it both ways...telling Trump he would speak at the convention. But he would have stabbed him in the back if these goons were successful..... F****ing greedy coward!

I think Mark Levin said on his show, that he would probably end up voting for Trump. I would expect Cruz, Lee et al to eventually come around.
I want the insurance

They were doing the bidding of Cruz.
Cruz hid in the shadows while his minions tried to do the dirty work.

I used to like Ken Cuccinelli, and wished he had been elected Governor of Virginia.

Then I saw him on TV during the primaries talking trash about Donald Trump.

I’m glad he and his fellow Never Trumpers went down in flames. The hell with the lot of them.

“That’s why im.hoping this Pence “pick” is nothing more than a farce. Trump can pick someone much more dynamic.”

Trump himself is PLENTY DYNAMIC. People on our side need to get away from the OLD PARADIGMS. In the old days, the VP was the attack dog...today it’s Trump.

Trump needs a person to show HE IS SERIOUS...and that’s Pence...and Trump appears to realize that.

Finally, the troops on the Rules Committee flexed their muscles, lit the fuse and tossed a cherry bomb in the traitors lair and SHUT THEM DOWN.

About time! Geeez.

This, coming from Politico, tell us that what appeared to be be gaining steam, a rally of sorts, really turned out to be their last gasp.

Cruz is repellent.
