**The Official** Republican Convention thread

"It is the determination of the chair that there are an insufficient number of state delegations requesting a roll call vote and the motion fails"

*8 people waving their hands at microphones*

 

[randomname]

Wow. They did it again!

"In the opinion of the chair, the ayes have it."

Twice! Ridiculous, they redid the voice vote and pulled the same BS again, ignoring calls for a roll-call vote

 

[Brian4Liberty]

Utah and Mike Lee leading a revolt. Trying to get a a recorded roll-call vote instead of the BS voice vote.

And they were shut-down with some BS about some States rescinding their prior calls for a roll call vote.

 

[TNforPaul45]

Why do the two parties even go through this charade? Imagine if there was any resistance from Bernie delegates . . . the DNC is even more vicious.

They may even accidentally pass another Ron Paul Rule by accident in the chaos!

They had more than 8 delegations, closer to 12

Iowa and Colorado have walked off. Bets on when they'll be back?

 

[Smitty]

I wonder which neocon the dissenting delegations have in mind to be the candidate?

 

[kahless]

I thought they needed 7 delegations but many had removed their names before the roll-call so they did not have the votes regardless before the vote. It sounds like they are just making allot of noise to generate some interest from the media.

"My creepy Secretary here told me you have insufficient support. Go stuff it, because he said so."

They pulled that one guy's arm right off!

 

[Smitty]

Of the dissenting delegations, how many are from states that Trump won?

Colorado can be ignored altogether because they didn't even allow a vote on the candidates.

 

[Dary]

It's déjà vu all over again.

 

[69360]

It's the same old, same old. They needed 8 states, had 10. Ayes didn't have it. GOP is once again just ignoring the floor. Why do they even have these things anymore?

 

[unknown]

He'll have the best riots.

He's gonna make rioting great again.
