Last-ditch attempts by a group of Republican delegates seeking to stop Donald Trump from becoming the GOP presidential nominee are quickly fading -- and now their fight is facing a federal legal challenge.

At issue is whether delegates to the Republican National Convention in Cleveland are bound to vote for the results of state caucuses and primaries. A group that claims the support of hundreds of convention delegates has been pushing to change Republican presidential nomination rules so that delegates can "vote their conscience" -- reviving a long-simmering debate led by GOP purists who believe that only convention delegates -- not the millions of voters who participated in the primary process -- can ultimately pick a presidential nominee.

This mindset is dangerous.  Today, it is, we can't trust the voters, tomorrow, it is we can't trust the delegates.  And then it becomes a very select group of a few that dictate what will be.  Oh wait, we have that already any how.  It is the Soros, Buffett, Gates crowd that pretty much dictate how life is to be.

The failure of Mitt Romney to comprehend the danger of his actions only proves he was never fit to be president.  And this big mouth, yet chicken sh*t fool is attempting to find someone to confront Trump, yet he is not willing to do so.  So, his judgment is weak and lacking, and these pompous fools think they know better.  Hmmm!
