The Rules committee meetings were contentious, with accusations of the votes being rigged from the #NeverTrump forces. There were even reports of Trump associates strong-arming delegates who attempted to organize against their man, according to the Washington Post:
Kim Taylor Fralick, a delegate from Lousiana, said she received at least three emails from Carl Paladino, a New York delegate and close associate of Trump. He was responding to an email sent by Fralick encouraging convention delegates to join Unruhs group.
Its like pissing up a drain pipe. You get wet. A revolt will never materialize, Paladino wrote to Fralick.
He was downright threatening to a delegate from Utah.
You should be hung for treason Stefani. There will not be a Republican Party if you attempt to replace Trump. Ill be in your face in Cleveland.
Lest you think Paladino is just some fringe right-wing functionary from an upstate dairy farm, he was the Republican nominee for Governor of New York in 2010.
