Republican factions trying to stop Donald Trump's presidential nomination noisily disrupted a vote on convention rules, putting on full display the the fissures in the party on the first day of its national gathering. Delegates from Colorado were seen walking out of the convention hall, and former Virginia Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli was spotted angrily throwing his convention credentials to the floor after an effort to seek a roll-call vote on convention rules was cut short. The disruption came as Trump and party officials were opening up what is supposed to be a rallying point for Republicans leading into the general election. The featured event for the convention's opening day was set to be the presumptive nominee's appearance in the hall Monday night to introduce his wife, Melania. Former Senator Gordon Humphrey said he filed requisite signatures from nine delegations to force a roll-call vote on rules. Humphrey, a New Hampshire delegate, said he wasn't confident that RNC staff had the "courage" or "independence" to "stand up" to pressure from the Trump organization to disallow or ignore petitions. Anti-Trump delegates were seeking new rules that would give them the ability to vote for someone other than Trump. While it was unlikely that the effort would ultimately succeed, since Trump has won far more delegates than he needs for the nomination, the roll call vote would have given anti-Trump delegates more opportunity to voice their disapproval. Representative Steve Womack, an Arkansas Republican who was chairing the proceedings, said that nine states had originally requested a roll-call vote, but that three later withdrew. Seven would be necessary to force the roll-call vote. "The chair has found insufficient support for the request for a record vote," Womack said, ruling out the possibility of a roll call. That drew angry chants from both anti-Trump forces and the presumptive nominee's supporters on the floor. Humphrey, who opposes Trump's nomination, called the presumptive nominee's supporters "brown shirts" during an interview with MSNBC. "They act like fascists," Humphrey, who represented New Hampshire for two terms in the U.S. Senate, said. Senator Mike Lee, a Utah Republican, said he could not fathom the decision by the convention organizers in an interview with CNN. “If what they want is unity, treat us respectfully as delegates," Lee said. He called the incident "surreal." "They rolled through. They cheated. That's what you just saw -- them violate their own rules," Cuccinelli told MSNBC. Delegates opposed to Trump tried to change party rules last week to block his nomination by allowing delegates to vote their consciences regardless of how their state voted earlier this year in primaries and caucuses. Trump argued that millions of Republicans have spoken in the primary elections and caucuses earlier this year and selected him to be their standard-bearer in a race against presumptive Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton in November. The billionaire was scheduled to accept the nomination in a formal speech on Thursday.

"They act like fascists," Humphrey, who represented New Hampshire for two terms in the U.S. Senate, said. Well, fuck Humphrey. It's his ilk that have pissed the entire "NORMAL" population off enough to make them act like fascists. Ron Paul got ran out on a rail by these same scumbags ... so long RINOs.

Of course that is different. It is one thing to eliminate someone they don't want. It's quite another when it happens to them.
"INDEPENDENCE". Independence from whom? Who or what is jiggering this process? I think I know. _____________________________________________________________ “We build but to tear down.

No doubt anti-Trump delegates have an inflated of their importance and believe they have far more influence than they actually have.
=============================== Those 'anti-Trump' forces are none other than Paul Ryan, Kris Kristol, Mitch McConnel (and the gopE) club of controllers. They have hundreds of billions of dollars riding on this election, and will lose it all if Trump wins. U.S. Constitution - Article IV, Section 4: NO BORDERS + NO LAWS = NO COUNTRY
What Is Fascism? Don't try to explain the term Fascism to the Jew inspired, shrieking anti-racist / "antifa" freaks you may encounter at political rallies or university campuses. They have no clue what it is. Below you will find the real spirit and true purpose of genuine Fascism, and by God wouldn't it benefit White America right about now? Political radicals often shout, “Fascist!”, “Fascist!” at anyone who doesn’t agree with their views. The term is especially popular among college students. But do such people actually know what Fascism is? Have they studied it? Unfortunately, Fascism has an undeserved bad reputation. Regardless of this reputation, Fascism is a very sensible economic and social ideology. There are a few different “flavors” of Fascism, but basically they all come down to the following. First and foremost, Fascism is an economic system in which a nation’s government plays a central role in monitoring all banking, trade, production, and labor activity which takes place within the nation. Such monitoring is done for the sole purpose of safeguarding & advancing the nation and its people. Under Fascism, the government will not approve of any business activity unless that business has a positive impact on the nation as a whole and the people of the nation – this is the axiom which determines everything within the economic aspect of Fascism.

Neocon filth can go to hell, I don't think that the Democrats will take them back after their expulsion a few decades ago....

They have hundreds of billions of dollars riding on this election, and will lose it all if Trump wins. If that is true they will kill Trump. For a billion dollars they can hire a dozen expert assassins and a dozen buffers between them and the assassins. Those 'anti-Trump' forces are none other than Paul Ryan, Kris Kristol, Mitch McConnel (and the gopE) club of controllers.

Trump knows exactly what he is up against and how dangerous it is going up against the globalist elitists. It hasn't stopped him yet. He's not even begun to fight. The enemy is madder than hell about it too.

I believe for enough money anyone can be killed even though the Assassin know he will be killed.
