These folks have no idea how foolish they are with a “rules are rules” mentality. That mentality is self defeating on its own face.
Neither Perry nor Gingrich challenged the VA rules as they scrambled to meet them. It was only after the fact that suddenly everyone is shocked! shocked! that the rules are so stringent. So now the rules should be rewritten retroactively? Or disregarded altogether?
The VA requirements have been in place for at least three presidential election cycles, so far as I know, and this situation has never before obtained. So, yes, it does speak to the organizations in place for the two disqualified candidates. They would do better to mount write-in campaigns, if feasible, and get their ground game in order, than to challenge the ballot disqualification.
Unlike the ‘00 GOP primaries, VA’s is not critical to the nominating process this year; however, quite like ‘00, many here today sound eerily like SoreLoserman.
