Some of the biggest names in the conservative establishment are committed to stopping Donald Trump from officially taking the Republican party presidential nomination.
And they’re doomed to fail.
Despite a continuing effort and lots of noise by a band of insurgents, Trump and the Republican Party are on track to defeat rebels trying to head off his nomination at this month’s convention.
Far from giving up, the “dump Trump” forces are seeking new supporters and spending money to run ads, hire staff and set up office space near the GOP convention site in Cleveland to try to prevent the real estate mogul from becoming the GOP presidential nominee.
But the numbers are stacked against the insurgents. Trump triumphed in the vast majority of this year’s primaries and caucuses, giving him 1,542 delegates, according to The Associated Press. That’s well above the 1,237 needed to clinch the nomination.
Now, it’s true those delegates can vote however they wish during convention battles to change the rules, so delegates pledged to a candidate could back anyone they want. And you can count on such defections, because some delegates representing Trump actually prefer his defeated rival, Texas Sen. Ted Cruz, or others.
But Trump still has a big numerical advantage.
According to an informal count by one party insider, Trump can rely on a solid 900 delegates, compared to a combined 650 for Trump opponents plus delegates backing Cruz or other candidates.
That leaves over 900 remaining delegates. Trump would need only about a third of them to prevail. And don’t forget, many delegates are party regulars inclined to want a gathering that’s peaceful, not a GOP civil war on prime time TV.
The anti-Trump forces have said they have more than 400 delegate supporters.
Additionally, the Republican Party hierarchy has largely been lining up behind the real estate mogul, despite his divisive statements and unruliness as a candidate.
Their argument: Whatever Trump’s faults, how do you take the nomination away from the guy who won 13.4 million votes, far more than his opponents? And besides, who’s the alternative candidate?
Along with staff from Trump’s still small campaign, members of the Republican National Committee, state GOP leaders and others have formed a team of around 150 “whips” who are contacting delegates and cajoling them, though perhaps not always gently.
Kay Godwin, a Cruz delegate from Georgia who backs the effort to “unbind” delegates from their pledged candidates, says one Georgia GOP official said her group is “‘tearing the party apart,’ which is ridiculous.”
On the 112-member convention rules committee, a likely battleground for efforts to free the delegates, around a third are from the 168-member GOP national committee and most will loyally back Trump in rules fights.
There are exceptions. Also on that rules committee is Colorado delegate Kendal Unruh, a leader of the fight to let delegates to vote their “conscience,” and North Dakota RNC member Curly Haugland, who has long insisted that even under current rules, delegates are free to back anyone.
Many RNC members say the rebels will lose overwhelmingly in committee votes.
Desperate for additional support, the anti-Trump crowd are making their plan public. Unruh says she has enough votes on the rules committee to allow the full convention to vote on her “conscience” proposal — she needs just 28 votes for that to happen. Her opponents say she’d lose in full convention anyway, but are countering with their own amendments.
An RNC member from Oregon, Solomon Yue, is proposing that any rules changes take effect only after this month’s convention, to “take the politics out of” the rules debate.
Arizona RNC member Bruce Ash, a GOP rules expert, is offering language aimed at ensuring that delegates remain bound to their candidates.
Another tactic party officials are discussing: using their muscle to prevent any rules changes, period. They argue the current rules already mean delegates must stay with their candidates.
They may be outnumbered, but the dump Trumpers have cards they could try playing to be disruptive.
Under current rules, a sympathetic delegate can slow down roll calls by demanding that their state delegation chairman recount the tally. They could force roll calls on minor matters that would usually pass quickly by voice vote, and lodge other time-consuming procedural challenges.
“We should not be bound by a prime-time television schedule,” Regina Thomson, a Colorado delegate and executive director of Free the Delegates, said recently during a conference call of rebellious Republicans.
There’s a limit to that strategy.
The convention’s presiding officer, which at times will be House Speaker Paul Ryan of Wisconsin, the convention chairman, doesn’t always have to recognize delegates seeking recognition. And if the dissenters try the same tactic repeatedly, he or she can rule their moves dilatory and move on.
Another dissidents’ hope — what if Trump’s poll numbers get really, really bad?
“What is the Republican Party’s tipping point?” asked Steve Lonegan, a leader of Courageous Conservatives, which is backing the rebellion by raising money for ads and other expenses. “Is it down 10 points, 12 points, 20 points?”
But even recent polls are heading Trump’s way over rival Hillary Clinton. According to a recent USA Today / Suffolk poll, her lead has been slashed to a narrow margin.
Looks like Dump Trumpers are set to lose — again.

THERE SHOULD BE NO DELEGATES VOTING PERIOD! THE RNC HAS RIGGED THE SYSTEM TO PUT IN THE GLOBALIST CHOICE AND TO TAKE AWAY THE POWER FROM THE PEOPLE! THE PEOPLE HAVE VOTED AND CHOSEN THEIR CANDIDATE!
WHY WOULD ANYONE GO ALONG WITH THIS TYRANNY?
STOP THE MADNESS!
TRUMP 2016!
Let us pray that the conservatives in the party have sufficient votes to block the nomination of this far left liberal ideologue Trump. If Trump is nominated it means the death of the Republican party, conservatism and the Constitution with the far left liberal ideologues he will appoint to SCOTUS. If Trump is indeed nominated the conservative Republican, which is the majority in the party, will have no candidate running that they can give their vote. We must stop this charlatan and Trojan Horse candidate intent on destroying the party from within.
YOU ARE AN IDIOT. A BIG ONE.
get your head out of the sand hole wake up please tom
You are very ill informed. Trump is an outsider and choice of the majority. When was the last time a true conservative won the Whitehouse? Decades ago.. Just because a guy is not in church every Sunday does not mean he is not a conservative.. Look how deceptive the Bush’s were. People bought it lock stock and barrel. This is a matter of fallacy for some. The youth and powerful special interest (elite) of today will never allow this type of person to ever be president again… There were only a couple of moral conservative even in the primaries, the rest were for show and controlled by a very large controlling order.
Trump is who the intelligent Want! We need a non career politician. All this insidious dump Trump tactics is what would destroy the Reoublican Party!
I don’t think it will demolish the Republican party. My hope is that it will wake the party up that we the people are tired of being ignored. America is “we the people” not we the House or we the Senate. They are in it for their own gain as we stand by and watch them take America down. It is time to turn America back around and if they want come along – fine. Donald Trump understands our frustrations. He understands that we want a leader to take back America before there is nothing left of this great country.
You’re now finding GOPers are corrupt? Too late. They have been doing that for years. I know Trump is immature for the WH job. Here is my advice for TPs and Repubs. Let Trump drop out so that we have only one candidate; that is Hillary. Hillary knows how put Repubs and TPs in their place. Trump can wait another 8 years. At that time, I can try to help him out. Trump is good guy but unfit for the WH job now. Let us go for it – Vote for Hillary.
She’s the last thing this country needs she will only continue Obama’s destruction of America, but at a much faster pace.
Where do these fruit cakes come from?? Trump 2016
Not only that but if she gets her behind in the WH, she will screw Americans even more and pad her bank account with 100 times more money from other countries. Look at all the under handed things she has done and we are just now finding out about a lot of them. Here are some of them. http://www.americanlibertyreport.com/articles/the-clintons-chinese-web/
I can assure you that if Hillary wins there will be MANY HAPPY HOUR PEOPLE. I BET THE PRESIDENT HILLARY WILL AUTHORIZE MILITARY COCKTAIL HAPPY HOUR & BEER BUSTS! YEP, THE COMMANDER AND CHIEF MAKES THAT DECISION!!!! SHE’S NOT THE TEA TOADLER TYPE EVEN THOUGH SHE ‘CROAKS’!
GO TO HELL
A camel has the only way to show his disagreement: he spits. Now one can see how many camels are against Trump.
With eyes open you would put a very dishonestpolitician into the WH?? How can you hold your head up and sleep at night??
If anyone votes for Hillary the need their head examined and put in a mental hospital
She is so crooked that she cannot sleep in a bed as it is not big enough for her ego.
It is past time that a female ran the country-afterall can they do any worse that the last two presidents????
You are a stupid idiot for sure!!
Hillary is a no go….. the grim reaper is hovering over her she has used up all of her favors with the outcome from (comey).
TRUMP all the way to the white house 2016 thru 2024
President Donald J. Trump the only man to break the corrupt house of cards in D.C.
Go With Trump! Romney and Bush, go away!
yes!
Trump 2016!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Stacey: This article says Curly Haugland RNC committee member saids rules can change and unbind the delegates. Yet Curly is from my state he has changed his tune and is a delegate now for Trump! HA! HA! Eat that up you RATS!!
You are 100% correct. If the people’s choice is ignored then we are living under a dictatorship.
This totally wrong if it was anyone else they would have been jailed or something worth the crime. I FBI is part of the government and it needs to be someone outside the government. LIKE THE PEOPLE, they should have the voice. However justice will be served If the people get there way and are not paid to vote.
From the Clinton administration through the Bush Administration and the Obama Administration has cost the taxpayers way too much hopefully Donald Trump will get in there and use his business schooling to get America out of the mess that it’s in and we’ll make this country Superior to any other thank God we have him
You mean the serial bankrupt, Trump? I hope he doesn’t get a chance to ‘practice’ his deal making on our country. We’ll end up owned by the Chinese AND bankrupt.
BARF -O-RAMA!
Give the power back to the people and do not allow self serving politicians to have more than one vote.
One Man, One Vote is the way it is supposed to be but somehow the Democrats and some Republicans don’t like those odds so they corrupt the system to get more than one vote and ignore the will of the people.
Tell me….where are the lies?
If the party “dumps” anyone who has risen to the top through the (mostly) democratic primary process, their substitute candidate will not get my vote, and the party may never get my vote again.
Stu. — The “substitute” (to Trump) will not get my vote (or the other two in my family) either. I can’t believe how STUPID some of our fellow-GOP’ers are?!?!?! Go Trump 2016.
WE cannot allow leftist liberal ideologue to run as a Republican. It will be the end of the party and conservatism. We Republicans and conservatives must resist the nomination of Trump with every tool and person we can muster. The continuation of the Republican party, conservatism, the Supreme Court, the Constitution and freedom in this country depends on Trump NOT getting the Republican nomination for POTUS. There is just too much at stake to let this charlatan and Trojan Horse candidate anywhere near the White House. The Republican party is Trumps Troy. The destruction of conservatism is his goal and it MUST be stopped.
Sometimes, the “cure” is worse than the disease: and I use those words as if they come from your point of view (p.o.v.). Be careful what you wish for. (My p.o.v. is a completely different matter.)
Wonderful comment, I hope you will enjoy pres hillary & co if you are successful.
Go Trump go 2016
Go Trump go
America need Trump 2016
You are transparent, a glass snake, but we see you. Slither back to your hole where you may eat dirt. For the rest of you: We have two choices. One is a successful businessman who is NOT tainted by D.C. The other is a lying, murderous, evil, vengeful, power-hungry liberal who will do anything to assure her presidency. Just ask James Comey.
My family is with you.. We will NOT VOTE
A NO vote is a vote for Hilary!!!
Is that what you want ??
I will not vote for any candidate chosen to run as substitute for Trump by machinations of the NRC. It may effect if I ever vote Republican again. As it is, I already will not vote ‘party line’, but rather, base my choices on the individuals running. I’m sure I could still exercise my right to vote, without declaring myself Republican OR Democrat, and place votes based individually across the board. I already handle local elections that way. I have never ever agreed with the electoral college being free to change their votes to personal selection, if that is not what their home-state voters chose. The only way that it matters how the average person votes, is if the aggregate total is what the electoral representation presents to the convention as the majority vote of their district. Otherwise, they have millions of voters running to the polls for no good reason.
The individual vote MUST COUNT in this process, or the committees should just appoint who they like and forget making a farce out of voter participation. If the delegates making up the electoral college are given free rein to alter their vote at the convention, they will be making the entire national voting process a ridiculous mockery of what it was intended to do for this country and its populace.
A Reasoned Thinker said: I can’t believe how STUPID some of our fellow-GOP’ers are?!?!?! Well, I most certainly have no trouble believing how stupid MOST of them are if they are willing to back that recently-ex liberal Trump.
Dump he Trump dumpsters. If they can’t support Trump go wallow in the ditch with the Hillary lovers.
If Trump Can’t be Dumped,Patriotic Americans must contract Uncontrollable Diarrhea and DUMP ON TRUMP.
That would really not be a loss because leftist liberals like the Trump supporters do not vote for Republicans and conservatives.
you have lost what sense you had if you had any to begin with?
SAME HERE. THAN WE LEAVE THE PARTY. AND NOT GOING OUT TO VOTE IN THIS ELECTION YEAR.
that is just exactly what the cruz supporter’s want you to do isn’t it? so bow down to the one’s that could not buy trump wake up people this really has everything to do with their politic’s in our country and where we have let these corrupt people in Washington do to us do you all not see whom was bought in washington is Hillary for positive along with cruz and Romney all of these corrupt people we might as well just let oboma stay in their and become a dictatorship country that is where we are headed if we stand by and let anybody republican or democrat tell us how to vote? if you did not have a kid to get killed defending our country then at least think about the mother’s and father’s that have?
Kathy, not voting at all only benefits that damned POS white trash B@&CH Hitlery Killery ROTTON Ayatollah Khoemeni Clinton
and all of those NON VOTERS who are nothing but a bunch of coddled, spoiled brat, cry baby’s who do 98% of the complaining
in public and point their damned fingers at the political corruption going on, well those worthless, useless, pathetic, coddled brat,
whinany cry baby NON VOTERS are only helping the corruption to continue by not voting at all for NO REASON. You want that damned POS white trash B@&CH in the White House, voting for her and also not voting at all will put her in the White House and if that happen, kiss our country good bye.
My prayers are with Donald Trump, he’s honest and willing to help us through these hard times and keep us safe from Hillary and her untrue way of handling our world. I know all of us feel the same way. I’m with Trump about immigrants my mother mistreated by one, I hate this man, he’s my step father. People pay for they ways I know he will. God bless us all if Donald wins the Presidency.
Honest????? He scored the lowest of any candidate in telling the truth. There is no truth in this charlatan.
Just wondering: who was the scorekeeper?
Hillary who did you think?
SCORE KEEPER Was Ivanna Trump.
Anyone but Trump; Cruz would do far better against Hillary!
You have no choice but between the two. So wipe your nose, grow some and stop whining!
Does your bad case of stupid hurt much????
How can you say that Robert S. Allen, people like you only help & benefit that likes of that damned POS white trash B@&CH Hitlery Killery ROTTON Ayatollah Khoemeni Clinton in a roundabout way. My vote is for Donald J. Trump in November. If you don’t want to vote for Donald J. Trump in November, the. Vote for Libertarian Gary Johnson, but by all means, don’t vote for HITLERY KILLERY ROTTON Ayatollah Khoemeni Clinton.
A VOTE FOR GARY JOHNSON IS A VOTE FOR HILLARY, HE IS PRO-ABORTION, PRO-GUN CONTROL, PRO- IMMIGRATION !!!!
BILL WELLS, HIS VP, IS A MEMBER OF THE COUNCIL ON FOREIGN RELATIONS !!!
THE GLOBALIST USURPED THE LIBERTARIAN PARTY TO TRY TO DERAIL THE TRUMP TRAIN, HOPEFULLY LIBERTARIANS ARE SMARTER THAN THE GLOBALIST GIVE THEM CREDIT FOR!
If you are voting for Bill Clinton’s best friend then why are you voting against Hillary. There is no logic to some peoples thinking. Trump has been a Republican only long enough to register to run for POTUS. The goal of the Clinton’s and Trump is to destroy the Republican party from withing and conservatism.
You are right. Trump is a charlatan — IF you compare him to a politician who is a liar and a thief. Trump is honest, which is why the liars keep losing ground, as truth ALWAYS trumps lies. Trump was a Democrat, true: so was Reagan. The “Reagan Democrats were the conservative people who were abandoned by the Dem party.
Totally agree with you. God Bless America! Get rid of these murdering idiots!! Trump 2016!!
STOP BEING STUPID! Cruz is a Bush/Globalist New World Oder Puppet!! Do your research, educated yourself and stop trying to destroy our Nation because of LACK OF KNOWLEDGE!
“Disgusted”, What you claim is false leftist liberal nonsense spread by Hillary, Obama and Trump. If you should do your research on Trump you will find that he is further to the left than the Clinton’s and Obama. He is a Trojan Horse candidate and the Republican Party is his Troy. Teh Constitution will be destroyed by the leftist justices that Trump will nominate.
If Clinton gets in she will be in for 8 yrs.. If what you say about Trump he will only be there for 4 yrs..
I will amen that disgusted.
wrong
DOES STUPIDY HURTS? I THINK IT DOES. YOU SHOULD KNOW.
The only person KNOWN to do better against Clinton is Rick Santorum. While in the Senate he majestically put her in her place by defeating her in a debate! Perhaps it’s too late to run him for President but, not too late for Vice President.
Not Cruz – bigger liar than Hilaty!
Cruz can match Hilary lie for lie! You have not studied him well . Trust me, I’m Texan – HIM BIG LIAR!
Well the damned “FIX IS IN” the bitch will not be charged Omuslim and lynch have done what they did what they promised Bill while disusssing grand children & golf. Anyone other than the Omuslim administration would be under the prison. This murdering thieving bitch will walk free and the bought and paid for election will go on as planned
you have to all remember if they had of charged her with what all she has really done and we all that know anything know she killed those people in that embasy and then we all know she done exactly what she wanted to when on this e-mail server she does what she want’s and she knew even if charged oboma would of just pardoned her I would of bet my life on that with no hesitance at all? anyone that know’s anything know’s how the Clinton’s lie and are dishonest come on people wake up please?
please wake up people she will do anything she would like to do keep her out out tom
Cruz wouldn’t even be close to trump. Trump is our only hope of beating Hilary!!!
We’ll see
Drew, Trump has zero chance of beating Hillary. Trump will cause all of the conservative Republicans to stay home because they will not vote for this far left liberal and lifetime Democrat Trump. Trump would govern like Obama on steroids and would destroy the Republican party and conservatism from within. He MUST be stopped at any cost.
drew, Then all is lost because Trump is ideologically the same as Hillary. Trump will govern like Obama on steroids. Remember it is Trump who is responsible for Obama being POTUS with his money and influence. After supporting him he gloatingly said that Obama is a “great President”. If you agree then vote for Trump. If you do not fight with everything you have against him being a Trojan Horse attempting to take the Republican party and conservatism into the footnote in history. He must be stopped as conservative Republicans have no dog in this fight.
drew, you just do not get it……if Trump beats Hillary we will have an orange faced male clone of Hillary as POTUS who will govern like Obama on steroids and will destroy conservatism and the Republican party.
The people own the Republican Party, not by a bunch of losers who would destroy the party rather than support the legitimate choice chosen by their votes.
Has any one told them?
drew ….. and ……Rudy Binder —– Totally agree with both of you. Go Trump 2016.
The people don’t own squat. The elite globalists have stolen all the wealth of America and replaced it with a death spiral. We need Trump to fix our country.
The FBI just gave Hillary a pass on her e- mails. Regular citizens have been imprisones for far less! Trump is honest and I will be voting for him! Those that ran against him and lost to him started this movement against him! SORELOOSERS! Cruz wasn’t even constitutionally qualified to run! Trump 2016- 2020!
Donna, Nonsense Cruz is the most qualified person to ever run for POTUS. Nine state Supreme Courts have ruled that Cruz is qualified to run. SCOTUS refused to rule on his eligibility because there is no argument that would prevail that he is not a NBC. TRump is the least honest of any candidate in my lifetime.
Cruz is a big LIAR equal to Hilary! Get a clue. He is from Texas – I am from Texas – I’m not making it up. He is pants-on-fire Liar!
plus his wife looks like crap at least Donald’s wife is something that will make america look good plus if you people keep on with this Hillary stuff and she does as oboma then our military is already as low as it can go if we get any more base’s closed anybody can invade us you dummy’s wake up and smell something whatever it is where it might jolt what sense you Hillary voter’s have left? you people undoubtedly don’t watch the new’s much anymore if any because if you did you would know she was the one personally that might as well of killed them herself because she really did those at bengazi not for sure how to spell it but if you know anything you will understand what I am talking about see what their kinfolk’s have said about Hillary?
It is Not November yet.
Meaning what?
I sure hope they lose, they are all a bunch of CROOKS, they want to keep the status quo the gravy train of loads of money.
That is the only reason they are going to try and stop TRUMP. Everyone should know by now, we have been lied to about what they were going to do for we the people, They promises to repeal and replace the affordable care act.”(LIE)”(in 2012) And everything else they told we the people was “ALL LIES” I also think this may be their last LIE. “Through all the LYING BUMS OUT NOW”
They act like a bunch of spoiled brats, if they don’t get their way going to pitch a fit, and I hope it backfires on them.
They are all arrogant, Narcissistic, better than everyone else. I remember a saying my grand mother use to say, I am older than, you are bigger than you are, and know more than you do.
You are obviously One of those low education voters Trump praised in one of his rallies after one of the primaries. One which was,in fact open which allows Dems to cross over and vote in the Republican Primary. Statistics are that there were over13 million Crossoverer Democrats who voted in the Republican Primaries.
The number of delegates that are being touted as being for Trump are only SUPPOSED delegates as no vote has been cast yet.
Trump has only won a little over 40% of the votes I think it was 42%. That’s hardly a majority representing “We the People”.
You talk about this nebulous “they” who are trying to thwart the “will of the. People”. If you understood anything besides what Trump tells you, you would know that the stop trump movement has been totally grassroots. Every day voters. Some of the “elites” have been dragged kicking and screaming into agreeing with us. Trump is NOT a representation of what the Republican Party is. Unless you count all the. Dems who are trying to thwart the will of the 62% of us who did NOT vote for Trump. #neverTrump and #neverHillary. The choice is not for one of them, but for or against America. Both Hillary and Trump will govern EXACTLY as Obama has, but just change the terminology. That’s the way of Progressives/Marxists.
Well said April!
Philip, The problem is that people keep voting for these far left liberal ideologues like Obama, Hillary and Trump with each time expecting a different result. The next liberal ideologue like Trump wants to be will be worse that the ones in the past. America must stop the insanity and elect a conservative Republican instead of these leftist liberals like Hillary, Obama and Trump.
I had great respect for Former President #GeorgeWBush. I can’t believe he would stoop so low to be a part of this destructive movement. Respect the will of the Voter majority. Otherwise the RNC will be like the Democrats (a Communistic) organization putting there goals above the people’s wishes.
Jesse, The true wishes of the people is NOT to have another leftist in the White House. Trump offers a continuation of the leftist liberal leadership as POTUS. He will govern no differently than the Clinton’s and Obama. Trump is Bill Clinton’s best friend and golfing partner. Their friendship goes back decades when they used to fly together to Jeffrey Epstein’s island to chase underage girls.
I hope they do have a disruptive convention because they are usually boring,but nothing is boring when Trump is involved.Bring it on you disloyal scumbags,there is nothing worse then a traitor,even the enemy hates a traitor from the other side.And Romney may be the biggest bum of them all.Check out on Utube how Romney praised the Donald on the same stage when Trump endorsed Romney in 2012.If you are a person that tends to get sick to the stomach don’t look at the video because you will puke for sure,i just want to warn you.
“”, Sorry, ” Trump hundred by FBI disappointed !!!!
I hope that I think like Donald Trump. I think that I do! And if I’m even 1/10 correct, then electing Trump will go a long, long way toward restoring the greatness of the US. I’m not merely talking about economic progress. No, not at all! I’m seeing stability, an end to the corruption in government that the so-called “establishment” has created or allowed, true leadership in world affairs, a unity of peoples striving toward an improved life for all, and greater emphasis on scientific achievement. The adage “a rising tide lifts all ships” is sooo apropos here. I see three types of detractors against Donald Trump: (1) the tarnished Republican leaders who are in fact nothing but selfish, spoiled brat-sore losers, (2) the Democrats who have abandoned the “local opposition” mentality and given themselves over to full socialist/anarchist/jealous hatred and dogma, and (3) the “useful fools” who have no knowledge about Donald Trump other than what they hear from those in categories (1) and (2). Anyone with half a brain and at least an average IQ is able to study legitmate, unbiased information about the man. All one need do is list his attributes and compare them to his main opponent, Hillary Clinton, to see that he is, indeed, a truly capable leader. Honest? With the money he has, he isn’t interested in more, unlike the avarice and greed of the Democrat candidate. I dearly hope that enough voters see how right I am and elect Donald Trump the next President of the United States.
I wish more than anything that you are right but I fear things have gone too far and only the gun will make things right again just as it did starting in 1776. The only problem with that happening again is that our Millenials as a group just don’t give a damn about the country, the government or liberty.
That’s because our government run educational system has not\ taught them what it means. They have become little socialists/Progressives. They know nothing else unless they have informed parents who will teach them the truth.
Jay, I am sorry to have to say this but you are extremely misinformed and ignorant of Trumps history as a far left liberal Democrat ideologue. A little research on his history will belie your opinion of this lifetime Democrat. It was Trumps money and influence that gave us Obama. After Trump got him elected he called him a “great POTUS”. If you think the Donald wants to be great also, do you think that modeling himself after Obama in being a POTUS is what you want then vote for Trump. But if you are a conservative who does not like the way that Obama has governed then you cannot be informed and still support Trump who is a Trojan Horse candidate trying to destroy the Republican party and conservatism from within.
I can’t believe my own state of Colorado would be so corrupt to deny Trump his nomination when he has won it fair and square!
You, Kendall, sound like a DEMOCRAT! WE OTHER COLORADO VOTERS DO NOT AGREE WITH YOU! YOU STIFFED US AT THE STATE CONVENTION TOO! (and, yes, I’m yelling!)
All the Cruz people need to understand he didn’t win. He stepped down not up for the fight. Trump is the winner of our democratic process and its him or Hillary. Our Supreme Court and the future of America itself depends on defeating Hillary. Hold your nose if you have to but get a reality check!
Mary, holding one’s nose will not stop another leftist like Hillary or Trump from being POTUS. Conservatives need to become proactive and refuse to vote for any of these candidates from the left. We conservatives have no dog in this fight. Many of us can NEVER vote for a far left liberal ideologue like Trump. Trump has no chance against Hillary as a result of Republicans refusing to support this leftist Trump. But then, both Trump and Hillary are ideologically identical so what difference does it make. If it were not for Trump Hillary would have had no chance of becoming POTUS but with him running to split the Republican vote the election of a leftist is assured whether it is Hillary or Trump.
I am so sick to see George Bush acting like a spoiled little brat. I worked so hard to help George Bush win both times he ran for President, I had no idea he was so dumb to do what he is doing to Donald Trump. I know if we lose the presidency because of a bunch of childish men a lot of us will leave the Republican party, I know if Donald Trump loses this because of a bunch of children who think they are so smart (it sickens me} I will go independent.
We conservative Republicans are not at all childish but instead we are principled and refuse to vote for a far left liberal Democrat like Trump who promises to be a Trojan Horse candidate with the Republican party as his Troy. Conservatives will be persecuted and marginalized in a Trump administration. Trump has only been a Republican long enough to register as a Republican candidate for POTUS. He is an impostor and a charlatan and has never really been a conservative or a Republican but is instead a male clone of Hillary.
you are not a conservative republican you are a libshit who is consistently downing Trump-get over it cruz lost and he lost bigtime-so stay home put your thumb in your mouth and dont vote
I am an independent and I do not like either choice so no voting for president.
A vote for Donald J. Trump is a vote for saving the country, a vote for HITLERY KILLERY ROTTON Ayatollah Khoemeni Clinton is a vote for the complet
destruction of the country. Save the country now, vote for Donald J. Trump in November.
I cannot believe how anyone could seriously back Donald Trump, he is nothing but a man with a gigantic ego and absolutely none of the qualities needed to be our President.
Hillary isn’t much if any better, we are a nation in real trouble for a decent Presidential candidate.
so dont vote-stay home-trump really doesnt need the 38 votes from you cruzbots ,lol, you and christoig???? should get together and compare notes maybe he has a lie you havent heard yet and you can use it next time to bash trump-roflmao
now that I will agree with? but at the same time which of the lesser two evil’s I would still have to vote trump and a bunch of democrat’s I believe will vote for him to they know how corrupt the Clinton’s are? it is just so funny that some of you are really that stupid to vote for her and I do agree I wish we had somebody better to vote for but we don’t and I don’t like somebody trying to tell me how to vote either but of the two lesser evil’s again I am led to vote for trump the only other person to me now that made any sense at all was ben carson and I am white so nobody can say I am a racist but he just looked so tired all of the time I just thought he would not have the strength to make it through a presidency.
All politicians are an embarrassment right now. What happened to the will of the people? I am spitting mad at their behavior. God save our country from these idiots.
The Pundits say the liberals appear to know better for everyone than they do for themselves. But Republican elites are doing the same thing. They think they know better than so many voters who support Trump that they are saying the voters do not know what they want. People like Eric Erickson believe they know better than we do. Just like the liberals.The power mongers are all the same.
Dump Trump and there will no longer be a Republican Party! Romney. Kristol, the Bushes & Beck, (he is a total basket case), are not true Republicans & never were. They are all sore losers & just plain losers!
I didn’t vote for Donald Trump in the primary, but he received the votes needed to get the nomination. He needs to get the nomination. These people who are trying to take the nomination away from him needs to realize that if they are successful they will probably hand the White House to Hillary.
I have no problem with rule changes, but this election cycle needs to play out with the rules which were in effect as the candidates entered the race. It’s not fair to change the rules of the game after the voting has ended. I think the Republican National Convention will do just fine without these people in attendance.
Donald Trump is just the man we need in the White House. It’s time for the good old boy network to get a shake up. Too many legislators are bought and paid for by the lobbyist and special interest groups!!!! Our government runs off of favors owed by others. Money talks and it always has been good for a favor.
Why do our elected officials get so rich by just doing their jobs? And even that is a joke as they vote by being influenced by money, never mind what their constituents want. Donald Trump doesn’t owe anything to anybody and can’t be bought. What a wonderful concept to have a candidate with the real interest of the people at heart. It’s time to protect the working class and stop letting us pay for the rich and the moochers in our over burdened economy. Why do the foreigners have more rights than a US citizen?
We badly need a wall to keep out undesirables. We need time limits on visas and then the foreigners can go home. We need to stop all this prison reform cause justice needs to be swift. Stop the expense of “death row inmates” that remain alive for countless years. Death should be the penalty for taking a life. Save more money by letting the family pay for their upkeep. Other countries do it that way. The United States is a wonderful place to live but our priorities are a mess. Our military and veterans are our greatest resources. That’s why we’re a free nation and we owe it to these men and women that keep us safe and free. All students deserve a free education if you are part of the middle and lower classes. The rich can afford the tuition so who really cares about them.
Wake up America. Vote for Trump and let’s dump Hillary. Does the US really need another Clinton in the White House? Just think back to the lies.
America deserves better. Bring back our strength and power to the people.
AMEN! I agree Diane!!

I totally agree. We do NOT need another “POLITICIAN” who has studied the “science” of manipulating others by lying and never giving anything other than falsehoods or partial and twisted portions of the truth. THOSE clowns are the root of all our problems, and they think WE are stupid enough to think that they can solve the problems they are still creating??!?? We NEED someone like Trump!
I’ve been looking through these comments and sad to say that this November Clinton will be voted in as the next POTUS. Republicans are not going to come together at all just by seeing some of the comments.
I just hope I’m wrong.
They will. Those who lose ALWAYS scream loudly afterwards and try to sound important.
Justin, With Trump running as a Republican it means that there are two far left liberal ideologues running for POTUS. It really makes no difference which one wins they will both govern like Obama on steroids.Conservatives and Republicans will have no dog in this fight if the charlatan Trump is nominated.
Trump won using their rules. Since the cry babies did not get their way they want a new candidate. I have been voting for over 50 years, am a social and financial conservative, evangelical Christian, and someone who voted for Barry Goldwater. I have supported the past two nincompoops the party has given me to vote for. This time I have someone I want to vote rather than unenthusiastically marking a ballot. The past two elections I felt I was voting for a wet noodle instead of a presidential candidate. Shake up the establishment with Trump! If he is dumped I will NOT vote!!!!!
If George Bush and the others on that committee to not elect Donald Trump are successful–then Americans will rebel-and God Be with Bushes!
Love,
Sue
While it is true that criminal, con artist, Trump the liar did con a lot of the low mentality with his lies, and accusing others of what he is, (Not a true American), as neither of his parents were Americans, they were (Criminal German Fugitives), and being a complete phony,) even these morons have come to realize that they were duped by Don the CHILD rapist and Mafioso.
It may be too late for them to get on their knees and beg the ONLY DECENT & INTELLIGENT, and non corrupt candidate (TED CRUZ) to come back, but someone that can beat Hillary should replace him, as Trump cannot. All the German and Mexican aliens are voting for Hillary, as none wish to be deported, and they all are masters of voter fraud. There are as many illegal Germans as there are from Mexico. All must go.
To Romney, the Bushes and anybody else you can all go and “EAT SHIT” and the Donald will be the one feeding it to you while “WE THE PEOPLE” supply it
I was a democrat for 20 years until obama got into office. That process showed me how corrupt the system is. I thought it couldn’t get any worse until hilary started running for office. It took me 5 years, writing letters, asking the people at the polls what to do, sending in change forms, going on the internet to finally change my party status. What an ordeal!!! I am a proud REPUBLICAN now and happy to say I want Trump. All those idiots (democrats/republicans) are so afraid he’s going to shake the house up and those fat cats with their hands in the pie are going to lose their meal tickets. Americans need to wake up and realize we need to take America back. hilary needs to go to JAIL. You can tell the drive by media wants hilary in office.They want you to think she’s ahead in the poles, but don’t believe them. I’m so disgusted with the FBI, Police, after hearing hilary will not be charged, AT ALL. Let’s make a stand!!!
The stop Trump buttheads are proving just how much these jerks agree with the American way. They are blatantly telling the voters that our votes are a joke in selecting the leaders for the people and by the people. They are saying they are willing to throw their careers away by doing this but dear reader, read between the lines, if they succeed they will just over-ride any votes against who they want voted in and there would not be anyone to stop them. We wouldn’t be able to vote them out even if they didn’t get even one vote in their re-election. Either Trump gets the nomination with the backing of all the delegates from the states he won or we lose the power of our votes. Wake up people, we are Americans with the power to vote for our leaders or we are the puppets of the 1% power of the dollar backing the worlds best people at lying and cheating and making you think it was your idea. If you can see their lips moving with a smile on their face then what they are saying is a lie. Those that are backing these UN-American anti Trump traitors are either very gullible or very stupid. Those are the choices because if they were true blue Americans they would know that the American voters have spoken and as an American that is the final word, not for some one person delegate to say otherwise because the majority didn’t vote his way.
Remember Trump is a good businessman. He will pick the person’s who have established themselves as competent in there fields. Our present entity holding the space of president picked his smoking buddies. None of them should remain in the positions they now hold.
As for the wicked witch of the east, any person entering the service of their country knows about security. If I violated any confidental measure I would have been assigned to a non security position or possibly discharged. You don’t have to go to trial. She did not protect the interests of our government. She should never handle any secure documents.
It should be apparent after the FBI fiasco who has the government in their pocket we need a change an Trump seems like a Likely choice to shake things up
If Trump is not the presidential nominee the whole system is a joke, he was elected to be the nominee by the state primary voters, the candidates all signed a pledge to support the winner, only they didn’t expect the winner to be Trump they thought that one of the establishment guys would win and whoever would have Trumps pledge and money to finance his campaign, got fooled, so now they are trying to get the delegates to vote for someone else and not represent their states choice, the dissenters are poor losers and if one of them run in a national election if I am able I will actively rally against them and I am sure there are plenty of other people who feel the same about the lying charlatans
U.S.A. NEEDS TRUMP TO MAKE THINGS RIGHT – GO TRUMP – GO-GO-GO-GO!!!!!!!!
MY PRAYERS ARE WITH YOU FROM THE BEGINNING. – GOOD LUCK!!!
Trump will make America GREAT again. A vote for Hilary is a vote for a person who only wants POWER & is a liar & don’t know the truth from a lie. She is a very dishonest person. Was when in Arkansas & then D.C. she hasn’t changed. She is and always will be a liar & say what she has to for the occasion. Vote for Trump, he’s an outsider & not one of the old Washington group. & that’s what we need. Fresh new person. He’s not a LIAR like Clinton is & sure don’t need her in the White House! Not now or any other time. She cannot be trusted. Neither can her husband. If you lived in Arkansas when he was Governer & she 1st lady you would know what they are like!! CORRUPT!!! If you vote for her don’t complain later if she wins!~! BUT heaven forbid she wins!
4 dead American’s and a comment “what does it matter”. Do you think you matter? The Whore of Babylon only wants absolute power.
If the party isNOT gonna accept the person fairly elected by populace then the election is a big farce RIGHT!!!!!! It is a big show
put on for show RIGHT It has to be agreed tha tboth candidates are NOT I REPEAT NOT the best choices of the 100’s if not 1000’s qualified individuals i the U.S. of A. I agree with tge Repub leaders that Trump may turn out to be a big embarrassment BUT and election is an election and he won fair and square SO suck lemons and live with your errors ANDY
DONALD TRUMP 2016 !!! ONLY GOOD BUSINESS , NO POLITICS !!!
The corrupt power hungry establishment elite globalists are exposing their bogus election system for all to see. More and more people are seeing that we have never had a government by and for the people. All elections have been rigged by using a corrupt nomination system that just gives the appearance of the people’s vote selecting a nominee when in fact the elite globalists select the nominees and then we vote for 1 of their 2 puppets. The entire delegate system is a sham for both parties. It needs to be changed for a vote of the people only. We need Trump to clean up the dirt in DC.
