Have the anti-Trump delegates left Cleveland yet?

I doubt there will be much signs of dissent on the floor tonight. I suspect Gruppenführer Manafort will pack the hall full of lemmings, but I also tend to think the NeverTrump, CruzCrew delegates are packing their bags as we speak.

I think three days of whipping up Hillary hatred has made them willing to swallow Trump no matter how distasteful.

to know him is to loathe him. I'm glad he did what he did, how on earth can you endorse a maggot that insults
your wife & calls your father a murderer of a president, never mind how he has insulted you. I do think he fell into a trap though.

All the others that have endorsed him, who have been insulted have no balls.

All that said, there is something wrong with saying "vote your conscience"? Guess he forgot there is no such thing with the repugs.

Apparently, they read Cruz's speech, unlike Melania's

started rumors about John McCain's adopted daughter, implying that he'd had an affair with a black woman. McCain told Bush that that had really hurt him and Bush patronizingly patted his hand and said, "Its just politics John".

McCain ended up supporting Bush which also ended any perception that he had a shred of integrity left.
