Yes, he was trying a similar move to Cruz, stealing the nomination at the convention. They also tried some convention rules changes trickery. Didn't work though.
Technically the VP nominee is chosen by the delegates, not the candidate, and the delegates are not bound in any way here. It always ends up being the person the candidate wants, but who knows this year.
Yeah, that's what's preventing me from calling Jim Webb a lock for Trumps VP. No idea how he'd be treated at the RNC. Probably not well.
In other news John Boehner with some real hot takes. I know I shouldn't be given the speaker/tea party relationship, but still seems odd words like these coming from an establishment guy at this time. He called Cruz "Lucifer in the flesh" and a "miserable son of a b****". Also said he will support Trump but not Cruz for the nomination.
