Meet the GOP delegate trying to take down Trump

Donald Trump has faced many a foe in his long career, from New York journalists who made fun of his finger size, to real estate sharks and labor union officials, to stiffed lenders and angry corporate board members. But heading into the Republican National Convention in Cleveland, he’s coming up against the unlikeliest of formidable enemies: a Christian high school government teacher.

Colorado Republican delegate Kendal Unruh is using her obscure slot as one of 112 delegates serving on the the convention’s Rules Committee, which is in charge of crafting the official rules of the Republican Party and of convention procedure, to try to stop Trump from getting the nomination by freeing delegates to not vote for him—even if he won their states' primaries.

Unruh, a 51-year-old mother from Colorado, is now fielding death threats ever since she started a movement called “Free the Delegates,” telling Republican delegates that they're not bound to vote for Trump at the convention in July. On Sunday night, a thousand people joined a conference call she organized, and she says that others were turned away because there were not enough seats, but those people were able to monitor the call via Facebook updates. Unruh spoke with Newsweek on Tuesday morning from the Denver airport while on her way to New York, where she is scheduled to appear on CNN in the evening.

By the way, Unruh is German for unruly.

Join the Republican Revolution!

Dump Trump!​

Sounds fake but hey lets wait and see.

So does his hair (yes, it makes noises) & many campaign "promises" (which are as they sound).

America can not afford Hillary. Didn't that obama do enough damage to the economy?

Yeah, b/c none was enough after Dubya the Dumbass.

Putting the fact that he's not very bright aside, can anyone explain why he keeps claiming the US is the highest taxed nation in the world? I mean it's not even close.

His followers, cultists, and apologizers are severely undereducated. They can't understand how to fact check him, or just don't give a shit about his lies. They just want America white again.

You're looking at "taxed" as a financial term, which is not all it is in his usage.

For instance, having our news (& even talk) shows taken up largely by his quite-regular mistakes is taxing. So is having people like RjT waste continuing amounts of time ripping on his backers, which hides the fact that right or wrong, he & they may be running things within 6 months.

EDIT: Sorry. Almost forgot. You're asking people to put the fact he's not very bright aside... I would normally agree, except I have often pictured the idea/scenario of an "evil genius" (popular term) looking like an idiot intentionally to get more backing (people who feel sorry for them, etc.), which they then use to show those people how smart &/or powerful they truly are.

Perhaps the media should look into the 4 rapes he's been accused of, including two minors. I mean, media is still on Bill's blowjob

Will there be any mention of his penis size?

if only you had a penis!

Barack Obama will be the only U.S. president in history who did not deliver a single year of 3.0%+ economic growth.

Trump, in Scotland, looking Presidental.....making bold statments, this does not bode well for Hillary

The president doesn't control driving the economy half as much as the Congress does. Given the Congress Obama was given, their "just say no without contributing anything themselves" behavior and the economic hole (which I don't really blame the previous Republican administration for) that he had to try to pull the nation out of, I'm surprised we've done as well as we have. (Of course he promised we'd do better, but his lack of preparation for and reality check on the job accounts for that).

Interesting that you're being conveniently myopic on how the U.S. economy is managed and who has to be cooperatively involved in that for it to work out well. Do you really expect government to work out well when you are so fanatically partisan?

I don't care, my statment is true. Fact is, Obama got his mandate passed, health care, gay rights, etc. If he focused on the economy, who knows what would have happened...he wasnt afraid of Congress on those issues

Ha ha ha ha!

Delusion, thy name is Beco!

 

[Beco]

Ha ha ha ha!

we'll see... Not saying Trump is going to win it, just making it a race come November. There is that little thing called the Clinton Foundation that hasnt really been looked at.....stay tuned

 

[sr71plt]

I don't care, my statment is true.

That pretty much defines you then. Thanks for confirming the fanatical partisan assessment.

Thats right, I put out true statements.... What I posted was fact.

I'll wait for your reasoning in other threads.....

Ah, no, I explained that it wasn't fact in objective discussion. You've shown that you aren't capable or willing to engage in objective discussion, so it's a waste of time and energy to engage with you. So, off you go to join a lot of other extremist nut jobs here on ignore. Yes, I know you don't care. I don't care that you don't care.

 

[JackLuis]

With Donny in Scotland winning friends, who's driving the campaign? Well Stephen Miller is his chief shill... or advisor, late of Sen Jeff Session's staff.

This guy is better than Rahm E and looks less sleazy.

It looks like someone is hitching their wagon to Donny's star.

The Rising Rethuglican looks remarkably agile.

On Thursday we learned the American economy expanded at an anemic rate of just 0.5 percent in the first three months of the year. It was the worst showing in two years and the third straight quarterly decline in economic growth.

The millions of Americans who continue to struggle in the Obama economy have been held hostage by this persistently weak growth. In fact, not only is the so-called “recovery” the weakest since the 1930s, Obama is on pace to become the first U.S. president in history to have never presided over a full year of growth averaging at least 3 percent. Add in the fact that the middle class continues to shrink while wages continue to stagnate, and Obama will likely leave office with one of the worst economic records of any president.

I guess Reince doesn't read the New York Times.

GOP Senator Calls Trump Unfit For Office

Sen. Mark Kirk, R-Ill., who broke ranks earlier this month and announced he would not support Donald Trump as his own party’s nominee, became the first GOP incumbent to run an anti-Trump ad Friday.

Kirk, who is considered one the most endangered Republican incumbents, dropped a 30-second ad titled “Even More,” which declares Trump “is not fit to be commander in chief.”

The junior senator from Illinois was first elected to Obama's former seat in 2010 and is among those being targeted by the Democrats in the fall. He faces Rep. Tammy Duckworth, D-Ill., a disabled Iraq war veteran who forced Kirk to come out against Trump by calling the suburban Chicago Republican “complicit” in Trump’s campaign of “hate and division.”

The Chicago Tribune reported that Kirk bought $230,000 in broadcast time for a weeklong ad run in Chicago and $35,520 in cable TV time to promote himself as independent of his party.

“After facing death, Kirk returned even more committed to serve Illinois,” a female narrator says, alluding to the stroke.

The Duckworth campaign issued a statement, highlighting Kirk’s past misstatements about his military record, which were an issue in 2010, and accusing him of trying to portray “himself as a liberal Democrat in Chicago while apparently hoping no one else across the state notices.”

Trump is universally despised in Scotland as an ignorant racist only interested in the welfare of Trump.

His reception at Turnberry told him that.

Is he still there? Somebody grab his passport.
