Guns galore outside,chaos on the floor inside,uproars at the republican national convention as anti
Source: Daily Mail
The Republican National Convention descended into chaos on Monday hours after it opened as an ugly rift over Donald Trump erupted in public.
Republican Party leaders and forces trying to secure a smooth nomination for Trump jammed through a package of rules for the convention Monday, dodging a contentious roll call vote on the floor with arm-twisting and heavy use of the gavel - but prompting fury from anti-Trump activists.
The so-called '#NeverTrump' forces sought to insert a measure in the rules allowing individual delegates to vote 'their conscience' instead of supporting the candidate their states' voters preferred. But a last-gasp maneuver failed, leaving his intra-party enemies with no other procedural options to oppose him.
Outside open-carry activists paraded assault rifles and handguns while one wore a t-shirt comparing the Muslim God to Satan, a provocation which came as 5,000 police officers flooded Cleveland in the hope of keeping order.
The scenes did little to reassure party managers that the convention will promote a unified party ready for victory in the November elections, and came amid mounting recriminations over the decision by many senior party figures including both its living former presidents to snub Trump's coronation.
In the brightest flash of discontent on the convention floor so far, party leaders called for approval of a rules package a normally routine procedure, which this year became a flashpoint as anti-Trump forces worked to force a 'roll call' that would allow them to show their disapproval on the floor.
When the package came up for a vote, Rep. Steve Womack, who was in the chair, asked the convention whether the package was approved a question that resulted in a mix of cheers and boos.
'In the opinion of the chair, the ayes have it and the resolution is agreed to,' Womack declared with a swift boom of his gavel that reverberated throughout the Quicken Loans Arena where the convention opened Monday.

(6,241 posts)and thank whatever is out there that I'm not a republican. This guy wants to lead the US, and he can't even lead a bunch of like minded people that agree with him 99% of the time. I'm embarrassed for them.
The world is looking at the chaos of the republican convention, and are going to look at our convention and see calm, united support. Undecided voters are looking at the same thing. That there is not anyone running around with their ass literally on fire is the only surprise so far. Trump needs to be billing Hillary for doing her campaigning for her.
Keep up the good work, GOP.
