wow! alaska’s delegate, dave donnelly, a former senator, has just stopped the convention because the chair overrode their votes — the alaskan state party voted that their delegates would go to the individual candidates selected, NOT just handed over to trump.
they are protesting on the floor — and they have held up the speakers lined up for tonite. wow!
more to follow! this is unfolding now.
ryan is now ‘splaining the rules again — a rule that affects about “four” states.
the rule maker is explaining the chair is required to read the “bound” vote — argle bargle snargle smurf… and, “do you understand”?
he is saying that the vote is correct as to how alaska voted but because there is only one candidate left, the secretary is required to report the votes to that candidate — ryan is still recording the votes to be for trump to the boos of that delegation —
chair is prepared to report the results.
oopsie doopsie
donnelly is saying “...they need to come back and clean this mess up”— saying the alaska delegation suspended “that rule” that was just used to flip the alaska votes to trump — he said they (the rnc) never talked to their delegation about this.
now the new meme is “meaningless side show”—
the pundits are saying that it may end up another “significant” speaker will be talking to a half empty convention hall.
also, the pundits are pointing out that the rnc has known this was about to happen for months and have not been able to do anything about it.
doesn’t this say volumes about what would happen with a trump presidency!
why am i laughing…. i SHOULD be crying!
