Cleveland — Republicans looking to unseat Donald Trump as their party’s presidential nominee appear to have the signatures they need to force a full vote on the national convention rules, a move intended to provide a platform for anti-Trump voices and to embarrass the billionaire.

To force that vote, the faction would need signatures from the majority of delegates from 7 states or territories. According to documents provided to POLITICO, they have a majority of signatures from 9: Colorado, Washington state, Utah, Minnesota, Wyoming, Maine, Iowa, Virginia and Washington, D.C.

The group says former New Hampshire Sen. Gordon Humphrey has submitted the signatures to the convention secretary.

Submitting those signatures would force a roll call floor vote from all 2,472 delegates to the convention on the Republican National Committee rules that an 112-member panel voted through last week. Those rules required pledged delegates to vote for the candidate dictated by their state’s primary or caucus results, a system that would allow Trump to clear the number of votes he needs for a nomination. The faction is hoping those rules will be voided and replaced with rules that allow delegates to vote their conscience.

While they’re highly unlikely to win the roll call vote, the Never Trump delegates hope to at least draw attention to their cause and, with a large vote count, prove what they've long claimed: that a significant section of the party still doesn't support the presumptive nominee.

The RNC and Trump campaign have been working to avoid such a vote, hoping to present a united front at the convention.

It's gonna be a very long few days in Ohio.

Signature goes here.
This will backfire. Nearing the end of August and removing the nominee will put them in a considerably weak position in November. They're not thinking clearly, but then again neither party has for the last decade.

They know that this won't remove Trump - this is an effort to get him in line with the party by showing that there is a significant portion of Republicans that still don't feel he is the best choice for the party

Get him in line with what? And would ever that be honestly work on someone who has said he only planned to run to prove a point?

Get in line with their ideas of what a Presidential candidate should and shouldn't do (Such as his criticism of Judge Curio), his immigration policies, etc. Trump is an unconventional candidate with no filter, and that scares a lot of Republicans currently in power.

The RNC ignored the petition to force a vote, despite carrying enough support votes, which has led to the Colorado delegates to walk out of the convention.

A group of citizens are paroling outside the RNC with assault weapons.

Prove to me how Ohio isn't the most based state that exists.

assault weapons.
God I fucking hate these stupid fucking media buzzwords

there is no such thing as an assault weapon, it's a category invented and used by people who don't know what they're talking about.
So Call of Duty lies to me when I pick the class Assault Rifle?

Well that's just silly!

Jesus Christ dude I was basically quoting how the news described the situation and they used the term "assault weapons".

The RNC essentially ignored the petition and pushed the rules forward without debate or a roll call.

So, yes. But many of the delegates on the floor were, and still are, pissed
