Flustered Karl Rove Doesn’t Quite Deny That Establishment Will Steal Trump’s Nomination

Eric Bolling grilled Karl Rove Monday night about reports of a cabal of establishment Republicans plotting to change convention rules in order to deny Donald Trump the nomination.

Rove attempted to dismiss them, claiming that there might be “cosmetic” changes to the convention rules, but nothing “substantive.” The meetings Bolling referred to, he said, were about understanding convention rules, not altering them in a meaningful way. He further characterized Bolling’s line of questioning as “paranoia.”

It is possible Trump will enter the convention with a plurality of delegates, but not the decisive majority of 1,237 delegates needed to clinch the nomination. “I’m for the guy who gets the majority of the votes,” Rove asserted.
