The fallout from the RNC continues to cause chaos within the GOP. In an article released by the Daily Beast, Gary Teal, vice-chair of the Washington, DC GOP revealed that he will be resigning from his post due to the fact that he cannot vote for the Republican Presidential nominee. “If I’m not going to vote for the nominee, then I have to resign my position,” Teal said. “I’m prepared to do that.” So where is he taking his vote then? Same place many others like Glenn Beck, and possibly Jeb Bush seem to be. He's moving to the Libertarian ticket, and voting for Gary Johnson. According to the Daily Beast, he's not the only one planning on moving out of the Trump's shadow, and toward the 3rd party. Three additional delegates from Washington, D.C., joined Teal to announce their support for the libertarian candidate. Justin Dillon, Kris Hammond, and Peter Lee—who were wearing #NeverTrump buttons—spoke to The Daily Beast in the hallway of Quicken Loans Arena, just minutes after Donald Trump finished his keynote speech on Thursday night. “The RNC has bungled this nomination process by having bad rules,” Teal said, referring to a controversy over nominating rules that caused chaos on the convention floor Monday. “And now at this convention, they’ve sacrificed integrity in favor of unity.” What may have been originally believed to be a just a small surface disturbance seems to be swiftly becoming a full on avalanche. As time goes on, more and more figures seem to be abandoning the GOP, and coming out in favor of the Johnson/Weld ticket. The division within the Republican party created by Donald Trump has been a great gift to the Libertarians. If - or more likely when - Donald Trump loses the general election due to his inability to unite the right wing, it can at least be said that he helped put the Libertarian party into the national spotlight. As we've reported earlier, Johnson's recent "money comet" surpassed the original goal of $25,000 by over $125,000, and continues to rise. Furthermore, he continues to rise steadily in the polls, and currently sits at just a 13% approval rating. With just 15% needed to gain a spot on the debate stage, Johnson's prospects are looking very good. Poster Comment: Your choices are: A) Gary Johnson - L

You're nuts!
I's certain Trump will miss that one vote.
But not crazy enough to vote for the Trump Clinton tag team. The happy couple C. Good pics! A government strong enough to impose your standards is strong enough to ban them. Hopefully the KOOK doesn't let the door hit him in the ass on the way out.... and you paultard assholes can HAVE JEB BUSH I'm the infidel... Allah warned you about. كافر المسلح
Should I dig up the picture of Ron scumbag Paultard practically dry humping a KLAN MEMBER and his Klan member son? Shut your filthy F'in hipocractical paultard pud polishing shitbox. I'm the infidel... Allah warned you about. كافر المسلح
This one? Non auro, sed ferro, recuperando est patria
No, this one... Trump with the real JFK killer, Herb "Grassy Knoll" Bush Never Trump people are dumb as a box of rocks. The Clinton's and progressives thank each and everyone of you for your vote! You know what is funny is that we finally get a candidate that is not an elite bought candidate. People who have been bitching how we need an outsider not bought and paid for by the elites get one and they will not vote for them? OMG Ronald Reagan could not be president today because he could not get elected.
I'd vote for him in a heartbeat. A government strong enough to impose your standards is strong enough to ban them. Yup, THAT ONE. Thank you. lol I'm the infidel... Allah warned you about. كافر المسلح
Everyone says that now but when the progressives start their campaign on RR you would think he was scum of the earth. Progressives win by divide and conquer and they are the master of it. When they lose they still win and when they win they dominate.
I thought that was standard par for Republicrats. Though with a period added after the word "integrity".
When 8 years of Obama turns into 8 years of Clinton. Which turns into an eternity of progressive rule that puts the world right back into communism/fascism rule. Do you think they would ever admit that maybe their strategy was wrong?
Good one, hondope!
Their strategy has been meticlously laid out and correct for 90 years. It's what they intend to accomplish with it that's dismal.
Progressives have been extremely good at divide and conquer. Its been their number one tool for as long as they have been around. Use basic human traits against the masses.
