Manafort: The ‘Never Trump’ Movement is “Nevermore”

After last night’s Rules Committee vote, it’s fair to say she’s unlikely to succeed.

John Ryder, the party’s general counsel, set the tone early in the week, telling delegates the law binds them to the candidates their voters and state parties selected.

Trump goes into the convention with momentum.

While the major parties’ political conventions are an anointing of sorts for presidential nominees, this year’s GOP convention, like this year’s election, departs from the norm, with celebrities and Trump’s family replacing the more typical GOP politicians as speakers.

One proposal would have rewarded states that close their primaries or caucuses to non-Republicans. That vote was 87-12.

Trump’s campaign chairman, Paul Manafort, spent two months overseeing an elaborate, process-laden pressure campaign to stop the rebellion and insisted that he would successfully quash opponents.

Utah Sen. Mike Lee, who supported Texas Sen.

That means even if a Missouri delegate for Trump attempts to abstain or vote for someone else, that person’s vote still would be recorded for Trump, said Jonathan Prouty, executive director of the Missouri Republican Party.

“This problem, this angst is going to go away just because we paper over it with rules”, Lee said. Blaming the “unbinding” push on a small number of “malcontents who lost”, he said most delegates in Cleveland wanted to back Trump’s nomination.

Trump campaign and Republican National Committee officials say they expect to prevent her from accomplishing that.

Those talks focused on conservatives’ proposals, aimed at appealing to grassroots conservatives, that would take power from the Republican National Committee – consisting of 168 party leaders from around the country – and its chairman, who is now Reince Priebus.

Sen. Lindsey Graham, who has been blunt about his dislike of Trump, is skipping next week’s four-day event that will officially make the NY businessman his party’s presidential nominee.

“We’re getting organized”, Davis said at a recent GOP event in El Paso County. There are always protests at political conventions, but I think this one might out-do them all, given how vocal the GOP’s presumptive nominee has been on controversial issues. “This is not a sure thing for Donald Trump”.

El Paso’s Republican delegates are making final preparations to attend the Republican National Convention next week in Cleveland. But apparently that would require a massive change in voting patterns on the Rules Committee.

In the face of Tebow’s mild rebuke, GOP spokesman Sean Spicer today confirmed that the ex-NFL quarterback (like Tom Brady and Ben Roethlisberger) will not be vouching for Trump in Cleveland. “Now is the time for our party to unite and focus our efforts on defeating Hillary Clinton and making America great again for all Americans”.

“Obviously, it’s extremely exciting”, Michael Garrison said.

Interestingly enough, the majority of the RNC speaker roster includes people with one key element in common – they all share the name “Trump”.

“Since he wasn’t my first candidate, obviously I believe he has some shortcomings, and I still believe that”, he said. On the other side was party loyalists and Trump backers.
