"with no free will". The truth is, they loved what Trump was doing, especially stacking the court system with unqualified right-wing "judges". What a bunch of sniveling cowards.

these republicans are transparent as all hell, aren't they? As Bob Dylan said, "you don't need a weatherman to know which way the wind blows".

Even if (God forbid!) Donald got re-elected this year, he’d be even more unpopular in 2022 and a lame duck president in 2024.

Anti-Trump Republican Delegates Allege 'Intimidation' by Party Leaders

Trump on General Election Campaign: 'We Really Haven't Started'
June 19, 201603:38

Republicans in multiple states complained Sunday night of "intimidation" tactics from party leaders who they said seemed aimed at preventing a revolt against presumptive Republican nominee Donald Trump at the party's convention next month.

A North Carolina delegate said the delegates in her state "are very much under direct threat from our state with a $10,000 fine," adding that she had been "threatened" by the state GOP "vice-president" over Facebook and asked about the possibility of a legal fund being established to defend them.

"I think that that's definitely going to affect very many people who are not going to be willing to step up in front of the committeemen" and contest votes for Trump at the convention, she said.

She also noted that delegates in Arizona are required to sign a pledge committing to vote for Trump or they'll be barred from the convention.

A man who identified himself as a candidate for the statehouse in Arkansas said he had been called a "threat, a coward, a communist" because he refused to support Trump.

Republican Party chairmen in North Carolina and Arizona confirmed to NBC News that their parties do, in fact, have rules barring delegates from voting for any candidate other than the one to whom they're bound.

Former North Carolina GOP Chairman Claude Pope couldn't remember when the rule was passed, while Arizona GOP Chairman Robert Graham — who appeared at a rally with Trump this week in his state — noted that the rule was in place for the last few convention delegations.

The concerns were aired on a 90-plus-minute nationwide conference call hosted by a group of grassroots conservatives hoping to oust Trump at the convention by passing a rule change to allow delegates to vote their consciences.

Stop bitching about getting bit.........

What these people are actually afraid of is the massive ultra right-wing machine they know will come down on them like stink on shit if they dare cross the GOP. Trump is just the current figurehead.

The GOP machine can destroy a person's entire future along with that of family members in the snap of a finger.
