As Republican Donald Trump roils the GOP establishment with controversial comments like his remarks about ‘Mexican’ judge Gonazalo Curiel, prominent former members of Texas Senator Ted Cruz’s campaign team are publicly calling for a ‘revolt’ at the GOP convention to strip the nomination away.
‘Our delegates have an obligation come July to do what’s right for the Republican Party, not just anoint Donald Trump,’ Cruz’s New Jersey state director Steve Lonegan told CNN Tuesday.
‘I would love to see a revolt,’ Lonegan continued. ‘And what I’m seeing right now, it’s time for the Republican Party to get some backbone and stand up against this guy.’
‘It’s time for a #DelegateRevolt!’ he tweeted this week. Other members of Cruz’s team have been calling for similar tactics.
