The floor of the Republican National Convention erupted into chaos Monday amid an attempt by the Never Trump forces to change the rules of the event, but the efforts were defeated, thwarting the movement to stop the real estate mogul’s path to the nomination.
Delegates engaged in dueling chants of “roll call vote” and “USA” on the floor after the chair forced a voice vote, and judged that those who favored the existing rules prevailed. Colorado’s delegation even walked off of the floor in protest amid the chaos.
The push to force a roll call vote, therefore, was defeated, eliminating the last available avenue for Never Trump forces to unbind delegates. Trump has amassed more than 1,237 delegates through the primary season — enough to secure the nomination outright.
But there was an effort to release some of those delegates so they could vote for other candidates.
Delegates Unbound, which was hoping to let GOP delegates vote for whomever they choose, said today they had the support necessary to force a roll call vote on the rules package.
This would have been a minor, incremental step towards unbinding pledged delegates who are committed to voting for Donald Trump but would like to vote for another candidate. If this had succeeded, delegates on the floor would have needed to reject the entire rules package passed by a rules committee earlier today, sending it back to the committee for reconsideration.
“Despite every obstacle thrown in our way, the movement of all the stakeholders involved in this effort have gained a majority of the delegates in 10 states,” Delegates Unbound co-founder M. Dane Waters said in a statement today. “Now we take this fight to the floor.”
According to Rule 39, a roll call vote may be called if a majority of at least seven states demands a vote on the floor.

AND THE CIRCUS CONTINUES
Im kinda likin it
And Colorado shows it’s a** again.
Hey, anyone remember Hitlery Clinton’s scandal?
(Crickets chirping…)
Did anyone else cringe when that nigger was half an octave off on three notes in his only song. At least Whitey hit all of his notes, however, both are worthless pieces of trash.
Yes everyone, jump on the Trump Train, it’s going right off the cliff and, hopefully, will crash on top of the Clintons.
Scott Baio, will some one punch him right on the ***kwasher! “We need Donald Trump to fix this.” Fix what? The Donald’s doing this “out of the goodness of his heart.” (Puke, Ralph, Barf!!!)
Now steps up the “Intellectual of the Republican Party”, Rick Perry, who just flew in from directing operations at CERN.
Who’s this guy, Marcus Luttrell, the brainwashed vet who still believes he was fighting for God, Mom, and apple pie. I salute his service, ill-advised and disasterous, and I feel sorry for his blindness at the hands of those who were just “playing army”, or playing a game of Risk, the “grunts” were just “Pawns in the Game”, disposable, like a Bic lighter. Once you burn all the flame, you just toss it.
I’m done, I can’t trash moms of soldiers, they’ve suffered enough.
This is the most jonsed out situation I have ever witnessed in my life.
