Unbound delegates were given the green light by Virginia Federal Court Judge Robert E. Payne to cast their votes at the Republican National Convention for any Presidential candidate they would like. This ruling is a big win for the #NeverTrump movement.
There are at least 30 delegates who hope to “thwart Trump” on the convention floor. Unrah does not have an alternative to Trump, but their goal is to vote their conscience is summed up in the letter.
“This literally is an ‘Anybody but Trump’ movement,” she told The Washington Post. “Nobody has any idea who is going to step up 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.”
“Anybody but Trump” has a voice in Kendal Unruh, the leader of the group Free the Delegates, whose goal is to get a majority of the “112-member rules committee to support her proposal” that will allow delegates to vote their conscience at the Republican National Convention.
“If any such delegate notifies the secretary of his or her intent to cast a vote of conscience, whether personal or religious, each such delegate shall be unbound and unconstrained by these rules on any given vote, including the first ballot for the selection of the president of the United States, without the risk of challenge, sanction or retribution by the Republican National Committee (RNC),” the letter postmarked Saturday reads.
Beau Correll, Virginia Republican delegate sued the Commonwealth so that Virginia delegates could cast their votes for “the candidate of their choice on the first ballot instead of the winner of the Republican state primary, Donald Trump.”

what about all the voters? They no longer have a voice? I think it is time to dump the delegate system if that is the case – a hand full of people should not be able to overrule a whole state because they are whinny little brats and want someone different for president – it isn’t up to them they are to represent the majority!
This election is turning into a worldwide joke
Washington State Dem chose the candidate by caucus, not by ballot. So only those that showed up at the local caucuses were heard. Bernie won the caucus votes, Hilary won the state ballot but the ballot does not count. The other problem is that we are so late in the process that by the time we get to vote, most candidates have dropped out.
I SEE LAWSUITS FLYING!!
I HOPE the gop tries to steal Mr. Trump’s nomination. He will win by write in vote, it will be not only historical but Epic,, and then the USA will has a president who hates both the gop and the democraps… Wouldn’t that be amazing to have a non partisan president?
stealing the America voice…some more…
For the sake of the country, i hope they steal it.
#NeverTrump. #NeverHillary
Not happening!
Absolutely. Posted by Gary Pecorella$#%&!@*MORRIS, FORMER POLITICAL ADVISOR TO PRESIDENT BILL CLINTON on Hillary:
If you happen to see the Bill Clinton five-minute TV ad for Hillary in
which he introduces the commercial by saying he wants to share some
things we may not know about Hillarys background, beware as I was there
for most of their presidency and know them better than just about
anyone. I offer a few corrections:
Bill says: “In law school Hillary worked on legal services for the
poor.”
Facts are: Hillarys main extra-curricular activity in Law School was
helping the Black Panthers, on trial in Connecticut for torturing and
killing a Federal Agent. She went to Court every day as part of a Law
student monitoring committee trying to spot civil rights violations and
develop grounds for appeal.
Bill says: “Hillary spent a year after graduation working on a
Childrens rights project for poor kids.”
Facts are: Hillary interned with Bob Truehaft, the head of the
California Communist Party. She met Bob when he represented the
Panthers and traveled all the way to San Francisco to take an internship
with him.
Bill says: “Hillary could have written her own job ticket, but she
turned down all the lucrative job offers.”
Facts are: She flunked the D.C. Bar exam, Yes, flunked it, it is a
matter of record, and only passed the Arkansas bar. She had no job
offers in Arkansas, None, and only got hired by the University of
Arkansas Law School at Fayetteville because Bill was already teaching
there. She did not join the prestigious Rose Law Firm until Bill
became Arkansas Attorney General and was made a partner only after he
was elected Arkansas Governor.
Bill says: “President Carter appointed Hillary to the Legal Services
Board of Directors and she became its Chairman.”
Facts are: The appointment was in exchange for Bills support for
Carter in his 1980 primary against Ted Kennedy. Hillary then became
chairman in a coup in which she won a majority away from Carters choice
to be chairman.
Bill says: “She served on the board of the Arkansas Childrens
Hospital.”
Facts are: Yes she did. But her main board activity, not mentioned by
Bill, was to sit on the Wal-Mart Board of Directors, for a substantial
fee. She was silent about their labor and health care practices.
Bill says: “Hillary didnt succeed at getting health care for all
Americans in 1994 but she kept working at it and helped to create the
Childrens Health Insurance Program (CHIP) that provides five million
children with health insurance.”
Facts are: Hillary had nothing to do with creating CHIP. It was
included in the budget deal between Clinton and Republican Majority
Leader Senator Trent Lott. I know; I helped to negotiate the deal.
The money came half from the budget deal and half from the Attorney
Generals tobacco settlement. Hillary had nothing to do with either
source of funds.
Bill says: “Hillary was the face of America all over the World.” (LOL)
Facts are: Her visits were part of a program to get her out of town so
that Bill would not appear weak by feeding stories that Hillary was
running the White House. Her visits abroad were entirely touristic and
symbolic and there was no substantive diplomacy on any of them.
Bill says: “Hillary was an excellent Senator who kept fighting for
Childrens and Womens issues.”
Facts are: Other than totally meaningless legislation like changing
the names on courthouses and post offices, she has passed only four
substantive pieces of legislation. One set up a national park in
Puerto Rico. A second provided respite care for family members helping
their relatives through Alzheimers or other conditions. And two were
routine bills to aid 911 victims and responders which were sponsored by
the entire N.Y. Delegation. Presently, she is trying to have the U.S.
Memorialize Woodstock.
Here is what bothers me more than anything else about Hillary Clinton.
She has done everything possible to weaken the President and our Country
(thats you and me) when it comes to the War on Terror.
1. She wants to close GITMO and move the combatants to the USA where
they would have access to our legal system.
2. She wants to eliminate the monitoring of suspected Al Qaeda phone
calls to/from the USA.
3. She wants to grant constitutional rights to enemy combatants captured
on the battlefield.
4. She wants to eliminate the monitoring of money transfers between
suspected Al Qaeda cells and supporters in the USA.
5. She wants to eliminate the type of interrogation tactics used by the
Military & CIA where coercion might be used when questioning known
terrorists even though such tactics might save American lives.
One cannot think of a single Bill, Hillary has introduced or a single
comment she has made that would tend to strengthen our Country in the
War on Terror. But, one can think of a lot of comments she has made
that weaken our Country and makes it a more dangerous situation for all
of us.
Bottom line: She goes hand in hand with the ACLU on far too many issues
where common sense is abandoned.
Share this with everyone you know, ask them to prove$#%&!@*Morris
wrong. Think about it – he’s $#%&!@*Morris) said all of this openly,
thus if he were not truthful he’d be liable for Defamation of Character !
And you better believe Hillary would sue him!
Her winning in 2016 would mean the final death knell for America! Her whole
public life has been a LIE.
BY$#%&!@*MORRIS, FORMER POLITICAL ADVISER TO PRESIDENT BILL CLINTON
Who do they think they are? If they feel so strongly about it, step down and let someone else do what’s right. This is the choice more people wanted over 17 different views. Get over yourselves. Step up and follow the rules or step down and watch from the sidelines.
If they steal the nomination, I like to think that American lives matter will march in such force that DC will be shut down
