Damn, RNC was threatening to arrest delegates if they didn't vote for Trump?

Watching CSPAN right now. Craziness - RNC is dirty as hell.

Just saw that.

What a way to present yourself to your own damn party.

 

[greatgeek]

They want it to sound like "rat". Seriously.

It's mispronounced by conservatives so frequently that it seems intentional. Is that really what they're going for?

 

[niccoolnic]

Yay more insurgency!

Thanks!

They want it to sound like "rat". Seriously.

That's the original usage of "Democrat," as a political slur, correct. It's from like the 50s.

Honestly, I'm pretty sure 90% of Republicans don't know that though. It's just become an ingrained usage. People are usually genuinely surprised when I explain it to them.

 

[ampere]

Less than 1% of the delegates this year are black. That's the lowest on record apparently as even the 1964 convention had 1%.

I'm pissed

The GOP is done for imo.

Question is what does the Never Trump movement do now.

 

[Balphon]

So....why are there states missing?

A few state delegations walked off the floor in protest after the chair essentially refused to hold a roll call vote on the convention rules designed to unbind delegates in a bid to defeat Trump's nomination.

 

[maquiladora]

For more than two hours Monday afternoon, senior RNC officials and Trump aides vigorously lobbied delegates who had signed the roll call petition to withdraw their names. After the Utah delegation chairman motioned for a roll call vote, it was ruled out of order because three of the nine delegations no longer had a majority of signatures submitted as a result of the backroom wrangling.

[Ohwiseone]

Oh shit, On Wednesday they are going to challenge the votes.

Wow.

This is just starting.

 

[MetalGearZed]

Even twitch chat is liberal. Hell froze over

Wow. I particularly avoided Twitch chat because normally they are racist, transphobic, etc. you foreal right now?

 

[squidyj]

can someone explain what guam was about?

 

[paperboywriter]

Callers!!!!

 

[Captin Quacker]

phone call on cspan now

 

[Loxley]

Having looked at YT vids of The Donald "praying", or even peripherally involved in a prayer... man alive I can't wait to see if he is asked to lead a prayer at the convention.

I imagine it would go something like this

I was thinking more like this.

Diversity ploy.

@brianmrosenthal

"This is not over," Kendal Unruh, CO delegate leading anti-Trump movement, just said on C-SPAN. "You will see more insurgency."

 

[Fushichou187]

"Dear,...Jesus.."

I imagine it would go something like this

Check out this video of him being prayed over by religious leaders last October. After about 5 seconds he does his patented "The Donald approved of these words" head nod, followed by weirdly opening his eyes and starts looking around.

 

[squidyj]

Diversity ploy.

sorry, i meant the resolution.

 

[ghostmind]

SORRY!

 

[paperboywriter]

Wow. I particularly avoided Twitch chat because normally they are racist, transphobic, etc. you foreal right now?

Mostly good actually!

 

[LUFTRAUSER]

The guy they just had on the phone for like ten seconds sounded like a the_donald redditor lmao

 

[11redder]

Ahh I'm so behind.

What is going on?

The greatest shitshow on earth.

 

[gutter_trash]

[TheAbsolution]

Wow. I particularly avoided Twitch chat because normally they are racist, transphobic, etc. you foreal right now?

Yeah, its not as bad as I thought it would be. There's some Trump folks in there but mostly it's just people laughing at the GOP.

Well I look forward to Wednesday.

 

[RPGCrazied]

Ugh, all the callers are going to be Trump ass kissers.

Will the sane Republicans please speak out.

 

[Duane Cunningham]

Here's the wiki article on the "Democrat Party" thing. It's not as simple as rhyming with rat, but it boils down to the same thing, just a whole party being weird and petty on a strange little issue for several decades:
