#NeverTrumpers lost a bid to force a roll call on the rules package.

They failed to gain requisite number of states to do so and majority of delegates assented to the rules.

The #NeverTrump movement is now dead.

I think in this context, “stakeholder” is anyone who “has a stake” in the result.

Nothing to do with the Mormons.

300 years from now, when the President Trump Library is in the running to be voted the best landmark in downtown New York, the descendants of these guys will finally make the REAL "last ditch" effort to stop Trump...they will think...if only we can change the rules of how the landmark committee tallies the votes....then we can stop Trump.....

Call Cruz offices in Texas and let them know how upset you are. The lady in Austin was very nice. I will NEVER EVER vote Ted Cruz, not even for Dog Catcher.

I don’t care about what they are trying to do, as such. If conventions are to be run like the Supreme Soviet, with no contests and no challenges, we should abolish them and save the money.

I DO care, however, about the pledge Jeb Bush, Lindsey Graham, Ted Cruz, John Kasich and Carly Fiorina signed, pledging to support the nominee.

Aren’t these people even a LITTLE ashamed? Don’t they think that, having proven themselves to be worthless liars, they should at least have the decency to STFU?

THAT is very concerning to me.

I’ve always thought it was an outgrowth of “stake your claim” from the land and gold rush eras in which you literally drove stakes into the ground to mark you claim. You then became a “stakeholder”.

Delegates have never been free agents.

This appeal to conscience is a ruse and a diversion from the fact #NeverTrumpers lost fair and square.

If their candidate would have won, exactly the same rules would be in place.

Their sole objection is that Trump is the one who now benefits from them.

Its not about principle, as they would like to lead people to believe.

This convention is the death knell for the Bush globalists and their puppet Cruz, and they know it.

Believe that at your own peril. They will NOT go away. They will NOT evaporate. They will NOT disappear. They WILL be back.

Cruz and Lee are working for the GOP E and carrying their water. Nothing but Cucks. They are on Bush’s and Romney’s Payroll.
