Republicans' presidential candidate.
"I'm a conservative first and a Re-
publican second," Wilson told the Jour-
nal, "And so I asked a guy from Ala-
bama, 'Hey can you make me a Trump
person?' He told me Trump is going to
come in and blow things up, he's an
outside person and so the establish-
ment is afraid."
Wilson saw three strong factions
struggling to find common ground in
the committee meetings last week: con-
servatives, Trump supporters and the
RNC (Republican National Conven-
tion). He described the RNC as "the
establishment."
"We conservatives met for the Rules
Committee and strategized on what
we wanted to do. And when it came to
rules, the Trump team was on the same
page as us on everything except for un-
binding people. We were very close, but
it fell apart," he said.
Wilson said the Rules Committee,
a group of delegates from across the
United States that came together in
Cleveland, met in a marathon session
working late into the evening to settle
the dispute.
"To make a change you need one
RNC person from 10 different states
and what they did is they changed it
from one to two. That would make it al-
most impossible," he recalled. It was a
session in which Trump's people made
a deal with the RNC, ensuring that
there would be no chance of a roll call
vote from the floor of the convention, he
said.
"The rules committee got slaugh-
tered," he said.
"James Madison wrote that men
are not angels and that's why we don't
want to have one person having all the
power. We want to distribute power.
We want to push power out, to push
decision-making power to the lowest
level possible and then they have the
responsibility for those decisions. Well,
they pushed it up. They gave the RNC
more power," he said. He added that he
didn't fault those opposed to his own

convictions.
"People need to vote for what they
believe," he said.
On Monday night, a motion for a roll
call vote to allow a change to the rules
failed when the chairman ruled that
several states that had earlier signed
on to a roll call vote, had withdrawn.
The Colorado delegation walked out of
the convention in protest.
"I am upset after they announced
the result and Colorado, they walked
out. And when I rode home with them
on the bus, they said they did not with-
draw their votes and we started ques-
tioning whether that was true in other
states; they didn't tell us which states
withdrew. You really have a sense that
there is process and it feels like the
process is being violated," Wilson said.
The convention saw plenty of inter-
esting occurrences through Tuesday,
most notably Trump's wife, Melania,
apparently plagiarizing part of a Mi-
chelle Obama speech from 2008.
