Romney's Run depends on RNC Rules Committee today

A new day has dawned and the pundits are foaming at the mouth, with oen, keyboard and microphones, in hand, waiting to see what the RNC Rules Committee is going to do...today.

NBC says:

Donald Trump's team will be on high alert Thursday at the wonky Republican Convention Rules Committee meeting as opponents push for changes to make it more difficult for him to win the necessary majority of delegates to claim the nomination.

What do you think...will Romney thump Trump?

If he does...the RNC Convention will be a war zone.

Bad, armed violence. Enough delegates will fear that to keep a coup from happening.

Whatever happens in the Rules Committee, ere is no evidence that Romney would be the replacement. Nor would he be the logical choice.

I understand the pain his company has caused you and others but ....

In any event, if your prediction comes true and Romney is the nominee, I'll eat my shoe.

12. Your empathy remark is one of the most kindest I've

ever received..

For that I'm very thankful.

You need not eat your shoe ( unless you make one out of cake...especially an icecream cake).

The " prediction" is based on his narcissism. He tried to run back in January 2015 and was slammed by 3 stories about our eToys saga. Out saga has been his Achilles heel.

Most likely ( being that Im still allowed to breath) Mitt's gang has picked a fall guy, in case his coup is successful.

Im not in this just becaused he killed my career and stole my childrens inheritance. My refusal to let the corruption dog lie, is because of the fact he smuggly emailed me, when I sued him for racketeering, telling me I'll win against no one, unless I drop his name, Bain Cap and Michael Glazer.

The guilty must go free; because their with Romney????

They are continuous in their harming to others, because of their VISIBLE corruption blatant; which should be intolerable to everyone.

People dead and the FBI, SEC, DOJ and courtd say they dont care. Including not caring about the abduction of my daughter, for the sport of it.

I was called to rub it in, warning my son would be next, if I didnt back off.

Knowing he was running...again...they offered to settle with me, if I would take all my web sites down.

When I told my son that they are offering his inheritance back...he said..F...the inheritance..nail the bastards.

They took my precious Snuggle bug..in my birthday..in 2004. Since then I've never seen..nor held my granchildren.

If you had to go to a Vegas hispital and wait hours to see if the girl that matched your daughter's description, was the one...in the morgue...would you let it go?

Acrew my liver..lungs and life...they dont get away with this and get to smile about it..all the way to the White House or a comfy 3 car elevator garage!

There's a surprise coming......mmore than 1

Please stay tuned?

..........And thanks for caring
