Roger Stone's "Days Of Rage"

++MSNBC said that Roger Stone,Trump former adviser but still supporter,is going to incite a Days of Rage ala 1968 if the Donald's nomination is stolen. Well, he didn't quite says that directly. Stone has created Stop the Steal.org to put attention to the GOP's efforts to basically disenfranchise their primary voters. He plans to enlist Pat Buchanan and other frustrated Republican candidates to challenge the convention. He did say that it was no unthinkable that actions against Trump would incite violence.

++The RNC continues to fuel this reaction as Reince Preibus said that the RNC would not relinquish control to Trump is he won the nomination.

++This was said at the same time an RNC official tried to tell Republicans that their primary vote was a preliminary choice, not a final choice on who would be the nominee.

++And it didn't help that Marco Rubio sent a letter to state committees saying he was not released the delegates he has won because it was imperative to stop Trump.

++Meanwhile the Donald has added 5 events in Wisconsin before the primary, which he is expected to lose. However, later this month polls show him winning New York and Pennsylvania.

++The #NeverTrump crowd calls Wisconsin, Trump's Waterloo. I guess that's like saying the ACA was Obama's Waterloo.

++The New York Times had an editorial today  about the nuttiness of # NeverTrump meaning another intolerant right-winger in the form of Ted Cruz.

++Alexander Burns "G.O.P Fears Trump as Zombie Candidate: Damaged But Unstoppable" in the New York Times analyzes how the Republicans are trying to cope with the Donald's massive unfavorables for a general election. 

++Jeremy Peters in "As Convention Clash Looms,Republicans' Focus Turns to the Delegates" does your homework for you on how the delegate process works and what it means to be uncommitted and unbound.
