Speaker Boehner deemed the voice vote a yes, though, and the rules were adopted. As some delegates would later complain, the official teleprompter even scripted Boehner saying the "ayes have it" before the vote occurred (the moment was caught on tape).

Is this was Trump was alluding to when he said there would be riots if he didn't win the nomination? Is he worried the GOP establishment will try to wrangle the nomination from him and that's why he's threatening cautioning violence? After a surprising campaign season, will this year's GOP committee tear the Republican party asunder?

No matter what happens, it will be interesting to watch.

With the Democratic party doing every thing it can to put Hillary in the race and it's blind refusal to acknowledge that Mr. Sanders is a better candidate by every measure, I am not surprised that the Republicans are doing the same thing. But it is funny because both sides have spoiler candidates, but the Democrats have had a better time getting rid of who they don't want the public voting for.

Oh, I agree. This same thing is playing out in the Democratic field, but it's more fun to speculate at the demise of the Republican party than imagine people actually dislike Bernie Sanders.

You know that Bernie is fracturing the Democratic party. The party supports Hillary, but Bernie supports the traditional party ideals, some thing the "New Democrats" want to leave behind in a new world of big government, big corporations, big profit and no accountability for their actions.

So, I asked Andrew Tamm, who filled my Stream with a hundred (sarcasm there) animated gifs and cat pictures to remove me from whatever Circle he has me in where he posts the animated gifs and cat pictures. It was either that or unfollow him and I didn't see any reason to unfollow him.

I'm shutting down Google+ for the night and quite possibly for the weekend. Why? This stupid #gifwars thing people are so proud of. This Adam Black guy said he doesn't like gifs and now everyone is mass trolling him. Having been mass trolled like this I can relate to him easily enough. Have an opinion and the collective might of Google+'s lower class denizens jump on a bandwagon. I just saw a post where someone wanted to jump on board and had to get clarification she was tagging the proper Adam Black. She wasn't even connected to him ! Nor was she a part of the original discussion. She just wanted to follow the herd. When I called her out of it she claimed, "one gif doesn't make a troll." Perhaps not, but she's contributing to a larger troll effort. One straw doesn't break the camel's back, but thousands will. So, tonight, Google+ disgusts me. It probably will tomorrow as well. And possibly Sunday. I gave up Google+ for two months this spring
