Erick Erickson claims that only ~25% of the people on the Rules Committee are with Trump, and that if Trump can’t avoid embarrassing himself (meaning another Curiel-like PR disaster) in the next couple of weeks, then there’ll be a convention coup that could lead to Scott Walker being the nominee(!):

The NYT though suggests that Trump has the backing of about half the members of the rules committee:

Nothing was ever going to come of this. That was blatantly obvious from the start. It was the anti-Trump version of "hilery wil b indicted!!!!!!111!!" Fantasy propagated by wishful thinkers and wet dreamers.
