The chairman of the Iowa Republican Party says he will be “blunt” with Iowa delegates at the party’s national convention in Cleveland next week who do not want to help nominate Donald Trump.

Iowa G-O-P chairman Jeff Kaufmann says the purpose of the convention is “to carry out the will of the people” — and Trump won more votes than his competitors.

 

Kaufmann says highly-paid political consultants are trying to “create havoc” and get party rules changed “in the bottom of the ninth inning.”

 

The Iowa G-O-P’s chairman complains the party turmoil prevents him from touting how a Trump presidency would change Washington and keep Hillary Clinton from packing the Supreme Court with liberal justices.
