BRIAN PERRY/Republicans convene
This past weekend at the Mississippi Rep ublican Party State Convention, delegates from the assembled counties chose members of the state executive committee, delegates to their national convention and a slate of electors for the Electoral College pledged to presumptive Republican nominee Donald J. Trump.
There were no big surprises or shocking changes. Republican National Committeeman Henry Barbour and Committeewoman Jeanne Luckey both were reelected; a new state executive committee reelected Joe Nosef to serve as Chairman; a majority of state delegates approved a slate of national delegates to the national convention acceptable to Governor Phil Bryant and the Mississippi Trump campaign.
If Donald Trump wants a united Republican Party behind him; achieving that unity belongs to him. But fortunately for him, his greatest tool in bringing factions together is named Hillary Clinton. Many Republicans I spoke to at the Convention made their decision quite simple: #NeverHillary. They believe the only way left to stop Hillary Clinton is to elect Trump.
