Republicans who failed to change party rules here last week and stop Donald Trump from winning the party’s nomination are threatening to cause chaos on the floor of the national convention.
Delegates were told to look for Maine’s Alex Willette, Massachusetts’s Vincent DeVito and California’s Harmeet Dhillon on the Trump side of things and Georgia’s Randy Evans, New Hampshire’s Steve Duprey, Tennessee’s John Ryder, also the general counsel for the RNC, and Texas’ Steve Munisteri for the RNC perspective.
