This article should have never been posted on a respectable site like Townhall. Bad enough, no editor picked up obvious typos like "delegate's" when "delegates'" should have been used. Pretending that rule changes were needed to give Romney the nomination is wrong. We don't like Romney, but he did earn a majority of the delegates.

The rule changes were meant for this election cycle right here, and the scuttlebutt is that the changes are backfire on the GOPe.

They saw the potential of a large roster of candidates winning states with most of them not winning eight states, leaving an establishment guy like John Ellis Bush able to get the nomination as perhaps the only qualifying candidate.

Now it is doubtful that John Ellis Bush will win even that handful of states.

The cadre of elders are not all powerful. If they were, John Boehner would not be resigning as Speaker of the House.

The cadre of elders are not all powerful

They were until Trump stirred things up. Their "winner take all" strategy in some early states would've had the nomination sewn up before mainstream voters were even aware that there is a nomination going on.

“The cadre of elders are not all powerful.”

Neither is satan. But he manages to scroo things up quite a bit.

Thank you!

I totally agree.
