"Confusion" will fool all the rubes and they won't know what hit them when they strip Trump of the nomination.
Gawd, but I hope they do that during the convention, so he can't quit and leave fucking Mike Pence as the President. That would be such a dick move, even for Donald Trump.
It would be better for you if you didn't use your email address as a user name.
The confusion is coming from a rules vote. Several states want to be able to "vote their conscious" and are calling for a roll call vote. The Chair is trying to stop it. Film at Eleven.

"We support reinstating the Glass-Steagall Act of 1933 which prohibits commercial banks from engaging in high-risk investment," said the platform released by the Republican National Committee.
Clinton, whose husband signed a repeal of the law in 1999, doesn't advocate for its return.
“We believe that the Obama-Clinton years have passed legislation that has been favorable to the big banks, which is one of the reason why you see all of the Wall Street money going to her," Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort told reporters prior to the platform's approval.
“We are supporting the small banks and Main Street. We talk about legislation that affects, you know, some of the mistakes made in repealing Glass-Steagall and some of the mistakes made in imposing Dodd-Frank. The platform reflects those things," Manafort said.
... but NO. It really is a Bloomberg article and - hard to believe this - the Republicans actually have:
...approved a platform Monday that calls for reinstating the Glass-Steagall Act and scaling back the Dodd-Frank financial overhaul, calling it the Democrats' "legislative Godzilla."
When the GOP goes New Deal on us, the world has turned upside-down. Or something.
deals, this is just for the rubes who've started to maybe see a few of these things as the problem. Never gonna happen out of a Repugnant, never. Just like Rump saying he'd gut TPP, never gonna happen, merely campaign rhetoric to get your vote.

I'm not quite sure I follow.
I'm definitely not following the GOP convention. Trump not master of the world yet?

Apparently the GOP has called for reinstating Glass-Steagall.
I know I'm really confused. This has to be Bizarro World. The Democrats are officially to the far right of the batshit crazy Republican Party.
Seriously, what the hell is going on???

A truth of the nuclear age/climate change: we can no longer have endless war and survive on this planet. Oh sh*t.
Merely pandering, like with the Free Trade
