If you succeed, I will not be voting for your political Hack.

They care if you do. They are happy letting Clinton win just as they were happy with zer0.

I do not know who coined this acronym but it fits perfectly as if Trump would have come up with it. Republicans Against Trump (RATs). I hope there are Trump staff reading this forum because these RATs, these vermin need to be branded with the term.

I will never vote Republican again if this happens, but I don’t think the UniParty cares. We need a revolution and a house cleaning.

I used to read the WSJ religiously; haven’t for 20 years. In the 1980s and 90s, it was a good newspaper, an alternative to the NY Times and the major media. It turned into a cheap labor, war mongering, screw the middle and working classes rag.

the reason delegates are bound to a candidate of the public’s choice is because delegates are not free agents, they are place holders. That’s all. A delegate is not being elected to office to then do as he or she pleases. Their selection does not give them the powers of a councilman or mayor. If a bound delegate has problems with the bound-ee, they have the perfect right to privately cast a vote in the general election. But any bound delegate who believes he has the right to thwart the public vote and act as a free agent in the primary, is acting in a subversive manner which is contemptuous of the voter and harmful to the party as a whole. The RNC should pull their credentials immediately so an alternate can be chosen to honorably represent the results of the primary election certified under each states’ laws. End this nonsense.

“Silly! Won’t happen.”

Don’t be so sure. I believe the WSJ, Rupert Murdoch’s personal mouthpiece, is also reporting that by some counts the #NeverTrump forces are remarkably close to funding their operations by selling bridges over the East River from a little booth they plan to set up in front of the Cleveland convention.

Scott Walker is apparently speaking at convention. Gave a very odd endorsement via Twitter today saying he is supporting a male candidate. Doesn’t mention a name.

Next, I see this link from a NeverTrump Free the Delegates PAC urging Walker to accept the nomination...

Note to Never Trumpers: you really, really, don’t want to go throwing around words like “coup”.

If our voting meant anything, the corrupt GOP-e political bosses wouldn’t let us do it

Publish the names and phone numbers of the people who are trying to subvert the will of the people. Let’s let them know we are not happy with their childish, arrogant cow dust.

Partisan Media Shills Alert!

This is the only threat to the Republican convention, and to American democracy in 2016:
