<p>But even if the rebels succeed in even getting such a roll call to occur, it is one they seem very likely to lose.</p>
<p>&#8220;What will happen on the floor, if there&#8217;s any attempt, is the party and Trump are going to rise against it,&#8221; Paul Manafort, Mr Trump&#8217;s campaign chairman, said on the convention floor in Cleveland, Ohio.</p>
<p>The convention&#8217;s rules committee decisively defeated the dissidents seeking to make the changes late last week, thanks to an alliance between the Trump campaign and RNC leaders on that panel.</p>
<p>Mr Manafort said there was no longer a viable &#8220;stop Trump&#8221; movement, only some &#8220;malcontents&#8221; who did not represent the broader Republican Party.</p>
<p>The Trump opponents want to change the rule that requires delegates to vote for the candidate to which they were committed after state primaries and caucuses. Mr Trump&#8217;s nomination is essentially automatic under the current rules, as he has far more than the 1,237 delegates to required to win.</p>
<p>In what has become a bitter internal battle, a group of social conservatives also want to shift party decision-making away from Republican leaders to rank-and-file activists. They also want to ban lobbyists from serving on the 168-member Republican National Committee and prevent states from allowing independents and Democrats to vote in Republican primaries, which helped Mr Trump.</p>
<p>Ken Cuccinelli, a former Virginia attorney general and adviser to defeated presidential contender Ted Cruz, who has helped organise the conservative effort, said Mr Trump &#8220;had a chance to be the anti-establishment candidate, but he got in bed with the RNC&#8221; at the rules committee meeting.</p>
<p>Some rebellious delegates are threatening to walk out if they are thwarted, perhaps on Monday.</p>
<p>Should that occur in significant numbers, that could leave television cameras panning across rows of empty seats.</p>
<p>&#8220;We won&#8217;t sit around and coronate a king,&#8221; said Colorado delegate Kendal Unruh, who, like many insurgents, backed Texas senator Mr Cruz.</p>
<p>The full convention will consider the rules approved last week on Monday, and the rebels want to force a state-by-state roll call, with the chairman of each state delegation announcing the vote of its delegates.</p>
<p>They say if the question is decided by a voice vote of the entire convention, they do not trust the presiding officer to announce the results fairly.</p>
<p>To force that roll call vote, the rebels must gather signatures of a majority of delegates from at least seven states and submit them to convention officials.</p>
<p>It is questionable they have that level of support and even if they managed to force a roll call vote, it is not likely to succeed.</p>
<p>Shawn Steel, a RNC national committeeman from California, said his delegation was behind Mr Trump &#8220;100%&#8221;.</p>
<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s the ultimate firewall,&#8221; he said, referring to California, the largest of any delegation.</p>
<p>Separately, Mr Cuccinelli and his allies would need signatures from at least 28 members of the 112-member rules committee to force votes on specific rules changes they want &#8211; a threshold they reached only rarely during the rules committee votes last week.</p>

All these negative press Trump receives makes him more popular in a good way.Trump is winning all the way.
Neither candidates are my cup of tea but I feel Trump has something fresh on offer compared to Hillary
