I don’t like Romney. I don’t like Paul. I don’t like the Republican leadership. I don’t think the leadership of the Republicans in Virginia have two brain cells to rub together between them, but I don’t see this as a plot to rig the primary.

I do think you’ve got a valid reason to be upset about what took place, but I think you’re reading too much into it.
