AN ANIMAL WITH FOUR BACK LEGS: “Never Trump” Movement Dies in Committee.
“The right to conscience is not just something that we’ve decided is a cool idea. It’s something that is the very basis of our nation,” Unruh said. “It is why the pilgrims came here and founded our nation. It is a God-given right to why we have the Bill of Rights.”
Immediately after that, however, Michigan delegate Matt Hall moved to end debate on the measure, and more than two-thirds of the committee, 77 to 21, voted to cut off all debate while some anti-Trump delegates, including Utah Sen. Mike Lee, were still waiting to speak on the matter.
The committee then voted against Unruh’s amendment by voice vote, with the opposition so clear that a recorded vote was deemed unnecessary.
There was talk in 2008 of Hillary supporters walking out of the Denver convention under the “Party Unity My Ass” banner. But the PUMAs turned out to be all talk and no walk.
Where will #NeverTrump go from here?
