Donald Trump’s presidential campaign reached a deal last week to put down a secret rebellion within the ranks. On the right.
And the campaign reportedly is concerned more outbreaks may, uh, break out.
The Washington Post reports this morning that earlier this month the head of the Arizona Republican National Convention (RNC) delegation, Shelby Busch, led a group of America Firsters in plotting to steal the nomination from Trump at next month’s convention. Because that’s what they do.
The idea was to get enough states to support a rules suspension, which would let the rebel delegates assume control of the convention from the floor.
Because we’re talking about the MAGA of MAGA, no one seems too sure what the hell the point was of their secret revolution-planning meeting earlier this month. But the Post pieced together some guesses ventured by people who were there and would, in theory, have at least some idea wtf they were all talking about at their tragically not-capture-on-video meeting.
Once in control of the convention, their possible plans may or may not have included:
Maybe release delegates at the convention…somehow…from their commitment to nominate Trump.
Possibly block Trump’s vice presidential candidate if they’re deemed too America Second for the America Firsters or otherwise not MAGAy enough for the MAGA of MAGA.
