Mississippi GOP is really pathetic. We all know what they pulled for Thad Cochran back in 2014. Now, Joe Nosef, chairman of the Mississippi Republican Party is threatening to use armed state law enforcement agents to forcibly remove Donald Trump and Ted Cruz supporters at the next round of delegate elections. If you are still under the impression that the GOP-e will allow either Trump or Cruz to be the GOP nominee this summer in Cleveland, this should get you thinking otherwise.

The chairman of the Mississippi Republican Party is threatening to use armed state law enforcement agents to forcibly remove Donald Trump and Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX)97%
supporters at the next round of delegate elections.Breitbart News has obtained text messages sent by state party chairman Joe Nosef to Trump campaign official Mitch Tyner threatening the use of force ahead of Saturday’s elections for state-level delegates in Mississippi. Nosef says that he is merely ensuring “safety.”
Most of the state party establishment figures have already backed Ohio Gov. John Kasich. Even though Trump won the Mississippi primary by eleven points, the party is still looking to control the delegate slates in the event of a second ballot in Cleveland. If the Trump or Cruz camps try to put up new delegate candidates that haven’t been vetted by the party, the party is prepared to use officers with “a gun and a badge” to remove them.
Trump official Tyner confirms the authenticity of the text messages he received. Tyner said that when he met with Nosef recently, Nosef referred to using the Highway Patrol to monitor Saturday’s caucuses. The Highway Patrol was deployed four years ago to monitor a congressional district caucus in which now former Rep. Ron Paul was poised to defeat Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney. The Highway Patrol serves at the will of Mississippi Gov. Phil Bryant, a Republican who endorsed Ted Cruz. State party insiders are unsure whether Bryant is really supporting Cruz or just trying to use him to keep Trump below 1,237 delegates so the Republican Establishment can launch a “White Knight” candidate on the second ballot.
Notice that John Kasich “supporters” aren’t being threatened. Of course that could be because there are hardly any John Kasich supporters or George Soros is funneling money to Joe Nosef too.
