Tim Tebow: Republican convention speaking gig only ‘a rumor’
“They needed 28 [votes] to even get a minority report, and that just didn’t happen”, Dashiell says.
After living and breathing Republican politics for decades, Ed Pozzuoli wanted a different nominee. But he’s now on board.
“She was asked”, Trump told the Washington Examiner Thursday.
Only half of South Carolina’s Republican delegation in Congress is heading to Cleveland for the 2016 Republican National Convention.
“I don’t think most Republican voters care whether I go to the convention or not”, said Sen. Delegates loyal to Trump and the Republican National Committee fought back by proposing a counter-measure to clarify that all delegates are bound to vote based on the primary results. On Thursday, a GOP committee voted down their demands. He’s a regular opener for the presumptive GOP nominee at rallies. In 1920, party leaders offered Wisconsin Sen.
Trump opponents now are trying to gather enough signatures of rules committee members to force the issue to be taken up by the full convention. Her plan would let delegates “cast a vote of conscience” and back the contender of their choice. She said she’s talked recently to business leaders in the area and gotten a lot of feedback in support of Trump for his stances on economic growth and industry. Statistics show that perhaps “93 percent or more” of voting Republicans will have to support the candidate to ensure a win in November. Too bad Trump’s grandkids are too young to speak or they’d surely be up there too. Neither is heading to Cleveland. “He’s certainly not a conservative”, and he won’t fulfill so many of his campaign promises that supporters will “feel betrayed”.

“I hope we don’t participate in some effort to manipulate the rules”, Sessions said in a recent interview. The magnitude of those movements (and the police response) are evoking images in many people’s minds of the 1968 Democratic Convention in Chicago, which was fraught with anti-Vietnam War protests and violent crackdown on activists. But instead of sports stars and celebrities, as promised, the campaign is relying heavily on the party’s establishment for the four-day convention, which begins Monday. He said the convention counted his vote the way the state law stipulated it, regardless of his own will.
Bush isn’t the first anti-Trump Republican to suggest that he might vote Libertarian this fall. “It’s a big deal to change things midstream, so I think it would be unwise. They want someone who is an outsider, someone who brings a different flavor to the country, that’s a leader, that cannot be politically correct at times”, said Donnally, who is headed to her second convention. “I don’t know what they have or have not decided”, Mickelson said, saying she was committed to moving on regardless.
