Delegates committed to Donald Trump should ink a loyalty pledge to insure they are not "stolen" by Ted Cruz or another spoiler at the upcoming GOP convention, veteran Republican operative and Trump supporter Roger Stone says.
Stone is promoting a petition called
"Stop the Steal," which demands that Trump delegates remain loyal to the billionaire businessman if the race for the GOP presidential nomination goes turns into a contested convention this summer.
"Over 8,000,000 people have voted for Trump so far — and many more will vote in the next few months. Can we get 1,000,000 signatures? How many signatures will it take to get them to listen to their own party's voters? Or will they continue to ignore us and further hasten the death of the Grand Old Party?" a statement from "Stop the Steal" reads.
In a column published by Breitbart News on Tuesday, Stone wrote:
"The Bushes, Mitt Romney, Paul Singer, the [Joe] Ricketts [family], and [Facebook CEO Mark] Zuckerberg are driving the train for the Lobbyist/Insider Class committed to stopping Trump, led by my old partner Charlie Black, as shrewd and skilled a political operative as exists today.
"We at 'Stop the Steal' … will ask every Trump delegate to the Republican convention to sign a pledge that 'they will remain committed to vote for the winner of the primary or caucus as chosen by the voters … through the entire balloting process. In other words, respect the will of the voters.
This will be a voluntary pledge. The voters will know whom they can trust — and who will play along with the insiders' attempt to steal the nomination from Donald Trump. The media will know too. Then these 'Trojan Horses' can explain why our votes don't matter."
