These morons would rather have Hillary President than Trump who back 99% of the GOP platform from 2012.
This just proves what a sham our political parties are. They play fight with each other and claim to support one issue or another, but in reality, though the Democrats fight for all their issues, the GOP only fights for economic issues and the rest be damned if it doesnt hinder their re-election.
Trump received more votes in the GOP primaries than any other Republican candidate in the history of the GOP and these lying sniveling bastard are trying their best to stab him in the back and hand the nomination over to either Romney or a Romney clone.
Had Trump made sure that all his delegates were actually supporters of him, this would not be an issue.

"We're acting to save the Republican Party from imminent disaster," said Steve Lonegan, who chaired Sen. Ted Cruz's New Jersey campaign and is helping organize an effort to let delegates chosen to back one candidate vote instead for another.
Lonegan says Cruz is not involved in the effort.
The Washington Post reported that Republicans believe Trump is letting the presidential race get away from him already with his attacks on a federal judge, his renewed calls to ban Muslims from entering the U.S. and his support for national gun law reform.
“This literally is an ‘Anybody but Trump’ movement,” Kendal Unruh, a Republican delegate from Colorado who is leading the effort, told the Post. “Nobody has any idea who is going to step in and be the nominee, but we’re not worried about that. We’re just doing that job to make sure that he’s not the face of our party.”....
To prevail, Unruh needs a majority of the 112 members of the convention rules committee, which has two delegates from each state and territory. Then, a majority of the full convention's 2,472 delegates would have to approve.
There's a Plan B. If Unruh can win over one-fourth support from the rules committee — just 29 delegates — the full convention must vote on her proposal. So far she's got around 10 supporters though some prefer delaying the rule's impact until the 2020 convention, she said.
