Pro-Romney forces given reins to GOP convention rules, positioned to launch anti-Trump coup
The specter of Donald Trump’s presidential nomination being ripped from under him in a nastily contested Republican National Convention next month is alive — again.
Anti-Trump forces appeared to have been defeated after he ousted his remaining opponents from the race in early May and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, House Speaker Paul D. Ryan and Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus all signaled that Mr. Trump had sewn things up.
But weeks of bad press stemming from Mr. Trump’s criticism of a federal judge and uneven handling in the aftermath of the Orlando, Florida, terrorist shooting have kick-started efforts to deny Mr. Trump the nomination on the convention floor.
The dump-Trump forces may have received another opening last week when Mr. Priebus tapped Utah RNC member Enid Greene Mickelsen and Massachusetts RNC member Ron Kaufman as Republican National Convention Rules Committee chairwoman and co-chairman, respectively.

He needed to criticize that judge. He was clearly prejudiced. Trump was found to have well grounded accusations.
He DID NOT mis-handle his campaign following the florida tragedy. In fact, HE WAS THE ONLY CANDIDATE to temporarily suspend his campaign schedule.
He stated what every REAL American was thinking. GO TRUMP!
Many RNC people are realizing that Romney is political poison because now people are donating to Trump and not the general fund used by others for their re-elections. Romney should just go away but he continues to say but what he's really doing is making it hard for fellow GOP whom are running for re-election. Not hurting Trump. Actually is adversion to him has only emboldened Trump's support.
RINO elitists are doing the damnedist they can do to take Trump down. This will strengthen the resolve of people who want real change in this country.
Trump 2016!
Romney had a golden opportunity in 2012 and blew it!
His anti-Trump activities have shredded the last vestige of respect for him.
Go home, Mitt.
