I'm not supposed to tell you what was said, so don't quote me. I've been to every Republican National Convention since 1964 and I've worked the floor in every convention since 1972 including for Ronald Reagan in 1976, the last time we had a contested GOP Convention. So let's just say I know the ropes.

Despite his historic run in the primaries, Trump will never, repeat never, get the nomination if this bunch can stop him. Forget about them conceding Trump the victory once he gets to the magic 1237 (Fifty percent of the available delegates). They've cooked up a strategy to be employed at all costs to steal delegates from Trump so that he'll fall below the 1237 on the first ballot, and then, before the second ballot to present one of their group (Mitt Romney, call your office) as the Savior of the Grand Old Party. While each state's individual law governs, most delegates are not bound to the candidate that brought them once the first ballot is over.
