JULY 15-Tim Tebow is such a big Donald Trump fan that he did not even bother to vote for the multimillionaire in the recent Republican presidential primary in Florida, state records show.

Tim Tebow doesn’t typically address rumors, but after he returned home from a trip to the Philippines to learn The New York Times was reporting that he was slated to speak at the Republican National Convention, he chose to quash the claims.
“What’s up, everybody? I just got back from the Philippines and I wake up this morning to find out that I’m speaking at the Republican National Committee”, Mr. Tebow said.
A series of related votes underscored the 112-member panel’s one-sided opposition to the conservatives’ drive, and it appeared uncertain whether its backers could gather enough support to force the full convention to revisit the proposal when it convenes Monday.
Lonegan insisted that party leaders used “heavy-handed, late-night, backroom, behind-the-scenes politics” in order to get their desired results. “They were never there”.
“Nothing has changed in our planning phase to unbind the delegates”, Unruh wrote in a Facebook post following the Rules Committee vote.
“The second vote was to let voters vote their conscience”. Magically anti-Trump delegates would reappear by the second ballot-now unbound by the results of their states’ caucuses and primaries-probably only to splinter their votes among many candidates.
The RNC and Trump campaign did not immediately respond to TheWrap’s separate requests for comment.

“The people who are going are obviously aware that they’re going during the convention”, said Rep. Reid Ribble, R-Wisconsin, a vocal anti-Trump Republican. National and state GOP officials, including Dashiell, aligned with Trump backers against the insurgents.
The national convention will be a “much different experience” than those at the state level, he said. Blackwell explained that he doesn’t believe in changing the rules in the middle of the game, a source close to him told PJ Media.
Other speakers will include four of Trump’s children, Las Vegas casino owner Phil Ruffin, and actor and former underwear model Antonio Sabàto Jr.
On the other side, RNC Chairman Reince Priebus was personally involved in negotiations, which were mostly conducted through emissaries, according to his spokesman.

Those talks focused on conservatives’ proposals, aimed at appealing to grassroots conservatives, that would take power from the Republican National Committee – consisting of 168 party leaders from around the country – and its chairman, who is now Reince Priebus. That’s a safe assumption, though NBC News’ report added that Colorado delegate Kendal Unruh, whose “Never Trump” activism enjoyed support from Sen.
