“Never Trump” is on the ropes and taking a beating according to an Republican Nation Committee lackey who says the official delegate count has gone down since Cruz announced that he was going to speak at the convention:
RNC Whip Randy Evans said today Never-Trump contingent declined from nearly 680 to 570 since Cruz announced he's speaking @ convention.

Then again, this is Randy Evans – the same guy who said Trump should get the nomination even if he doesn’t get the required delegates:
“What I do expect is this: If Donald Trump exceeds 1,100 votes, he will become the nominee, even though he may not have the 1,237,” Randy Evans, a Georgia Republican who also chairs the Republican National Lawyers’ Association, told MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” program.
“If he gets less than 1,000 delegates, then I think we’re looking at a contested convention that could go on for many, many days,” Evans continued.
SO he sounds like he’s already in the tank for the cheeto-faced moron.
Evans says there's about 1700 delegates that would support Trump. Only 888 of those are die-hard Trumpers; 900 are RNC members & volunteers

There’s still a slim chance that the delegates will vote their consciences and block the Donald. But as we reported earlier, that may all depend on what Mike Lee does next…
