Donald Trump
Two Republican National Convention delegates from this state hope Donald Trump doesn't have to become their party's presidential nominee next month in Cleveland.
Chad Livengood of The Detroit News reports:
Republican activists Wendy Day of Howell and Barbara Bookout of Grand Rapids said Friday they are part of a growing multi-state network of delegates who are discussing changing the convention rules and freeing bound delegates from being forced to vote for Trump on the first ballot at the July 18-21 national party meeting.
“If such an opportunity presents itself, I will be first in line,” Bookout said. “I don’t think that Mr. Trump represents the Republican values as stated in our current platform. I don’t think he understands the task that lies in front of him. And I don’t think he’s going to win.”
