Could Trump be “trumped” by a new candidate at next month’s convention?

Dozens of Republican convention delegates are hatching a new plan to block Donald Trump at this summer's convention in what has become the most organized effort to stop the businessman from becoming the GOP nominee.

The plan is called "Anybody but Trump." The delegates are reportedly putt off by Trump's recent comments on gun control, his racist comments about a federal judge, and his dropping poll numbers.

They also don't consider Trump a true conservative candidate. The delegates are researching how to change party rules so they can vote for whomever they want, regardless of who won their state caucuses or primaries.

But before delegates can vote, the convention space needs to be ready. This year's Republican Convention is being held at the Quicken Loans Arena, the same space used just last night in Game Six of the NBA Finals. And nearly as soon as the players left the court, crews moved in to begin a complete makeover.

The transition from sports arena to political convention hall has never been done in less than 5 weeks. This year, crews have only 4.

Meanwhile, Trump is dismissing the plots against him. He's won almost 14 million votes. That number is, by far, more votes than any candidate in the history of the Republican primaries. He continues to draw big crowds, and he continues to entertain, with remarks like this one last night, when he spotted what he thought was a horse in the crowd.

Trump told the room, "I've read about this place for a long time. Where's that horse? I want to go on the horse. Hey, you want to hit the papers tomorrow, let's get that horse!"

Some background information on that comment for you: Trump was campaigning in Dallas, Texas, and one man brought a bull to his rally. Trump called it a horse.
