(Via Kentucky.com) […] Kentucky Republicans selected 25 delegates to the national convention on Saturday, and McConnell was one of them. He urged delegates not to give Obama a third term by electing Hillary Clinton.

But McConnell would not say who he would support at a contested convention: Donald Trump, Ted Cruz, John Kasich or someone else. Instead, he criticized Obama for going on a “regulatory rampage.” And he reiterated his vow to not confirm Obama’s nominee to the U.S. Supreme Court, declaring: “This vacancy will not be filled by this president” while Republican delegates stood and applauded.
[…] Kentucky’s process for selecting delegates is more tame, since the delegates are nominated by a committee in secret and party rules do not require them to publicly say who they would support.
[…]  The delegates selected Saturday are mostly party insiders and elected officials. They include Gov. Matt Bevin and his wife, Glenna; U.S. Rep. Hal Rogers, major Republican fundraiser Kelly Knight, the Republican leaders of the state House and Senate and U.S. Sen. Rand Paul, a one-time presidential favorite whose campaign ended after a disappointing showing in the Iowa caucuses. Paul did not attend Saturday’s convention, but addressed delegates in a video message.  (read more)
