Why wouldn't they like Pence?

Because of Trump and some other things that he has done. But Pence will like survive would have been interesting had Trump picked Reek Christie or Newt.

That ex-Senator was right. Many Trump supporters do act like Brownshirts.

That is procedurally what happened. The pro-Trump forces whipped up the vote.

Ironically, three of those states were caucus states, DC was technically a convention. None of them were primary states.

Cruz won Maine. Cruz won IA with a plurality of the vote (proportionally allocated).
Rubio won MN and DC.

They're acting like Romney supporters in 2012.

They are just looking to cause trouble. They don't have the votes.

Could you imagine if they forced a VP Carly Fiorina on Trump though?

Is that within the rules?

Entirely.  No delegates are bound for the VP vote, and the idea that the Presidential nominee picks a VP that is then rubber-stamped by the convention is purely convention (no pun intended).  

If another VP nominee candidate garners enough support under Rule 40 (majorities of 8 delegations), there will be a roll call and everything.  Seems unlikely given their failure to force a vote on rules changes, but they'll try regardless.  Lord knows who their standard bearer would be, though.

With Trump now guaranteed to be the nominee, I suppose the goal is to express dissatisfaction by making the convention as annoying and divisive as possible.

Is Stewart on TV still? I thought he was taking his d-bag personality elsewhere.

Because he's a modern-day Eichmann figure, presumably.
