LebaneseDude 6,146 Posted April 22, 2016 Share Posted April 22, 2016 Politico reports: First it was an email warning Steve House, the Colorado GOP chairman, to hide his family members and “pray you make it to Cleveland.” Then there was the angry man who called his cell phone and told him to put a gun down his throat. “He said, ‘I’ll call back in two minutes and if you’re still there, I’ll come over and help you’,” House recalled. Since Donald Trump came up empty in his quest for delegates at the Republican state assembly in Colorado Springs nearly two weeks ago, his angry supporters have responded to Trump’s own claims of a “rigged” nomination process by lashing out at Republican National Committee delegates that they believe won’t support Trump at the party’s convention — including House. In hotel hallways and across dinner tables, many party leaders attending this week’s meetings shared similar stories. One party chair says a Trump supporter recently got in his face and promised “bloodshed” if he didn’t win the GOP nomination. An Indiana delegate who criticized Trump received a note warning against “traditional burial” that ended with, “We are watching you.” Several delegates and party leaders told POLITICO that the rising atmosphere of fear has silenced some critics and led party leaders to eye extra security for state conventions and local gatherings where Trump supporters might take exception to the results. Concerns about delegate safety at the RNC convention in Cleveland began to escalate earlier this month when Roger Stone, a long-time Donald Trump ally, promised to disclose the hotels and room numbers of delegates “directly involved in the steal.

Born To Slay 10,996 Posted April 23, 2016 Share Posted April 23, 2016 I'm a Bernie fan and no fan of Trump but I say good. The republican establishment is clearly trying to stop Trump and is willing to override the popular vote to do so. It's a ****ed up system and the voters should force them to vote in the way they want. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
