Republican convention delegates are coming together with a new plan to block Donald Trump’s nomination as fears climb that his views are not conservative and that his temperament is not suitable to successfully campaign against likely Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton. 

“This literally is an ‘Anybody but Trump’ movement,” Kendal Unruh, a Colorado delegate leading the campaign, told The Washington Post. “Nobody has any idea who is going to step in and be the nominee, but we’re not worried about that. We’re just doing that job to make sure that he’s not the face of our party.”
The organized effort is underway as Trump’s poll numbers drop and following a spate of controversial statements in recent weeks, including his attacks on U.S. District Court Judge Gonzalo Curiel’s Mexican heritage; his revived calls for a temporary ban on Muslims entering the country following the Orlando shootings; and his support for changing national gun control laws. 

The anti-Trump movement kicked off its efforts on Thursday with a conference call involving at least 30 delegates from 15 states, and Unruh and fellow Colorado delegate Regina Thomson have brought in coordinators in Arizona, Louisiana, Iowa and Washington, among other states.
