WASHINGTON (AP) -- The Republican National Committee wants to take more control over how the party picks a White House nominee.

The RNC was to meet Wednesday in Memphis, Tennessee, to choose members who will effectively set the calendar for 2016's long list of potential presidential contenders. If the party's chairman, Reince Priebus gets his way, the GOP will pick its nominee more quickly than during past contests and have fewer debates in which candidates could criticize each other.

The RNC also was expected to put penalties in place for candidates who don't follow the committee's plans.

RNC officials described the agenda ahead of the three-day meeting. The officials insisted on anonymity because the entire 168-member central party had not yet been briefed on the proposal.

The fix is in for Hitlery.

The fix has been in for her ever since she agreed to let Obama have his turn. I fully believe that the GOP has been in agreement with the "Obama then Hillary" plan all along.

The GOP is just a wing of the DNC these days... we're a one-party system.

This is why the Tea Party will never get control of the Republican Party. If we want action we’ll have to do it ourselves.

the only way to politically destroy the GOPe is to start a new party.

With the Internet it should be easy to implement systems that will allow a "mass" transition of people that are fed up with the current Statist dominated parties.

What would be important is for leaders such as Cruz, Palin, Lee and others push the party and have a date on which they move to the new party.

The mistake Conservatives make is believing that success can only come through retaking the GOP.

The evil actions of the GOPe make a new party inevitable.

coming in second in the olympics gets you a silver medal.

coming in second in a two-man race gets you nothing.

rnc still thinks coming in second gets you silver.

Not playing that game anymore.

Neither am I.

Conservatives enable these evil GOPe Statists by voting for the lesser of two evils."

Once the GOPe knows that the base is H*ll bent on NOT voting for any RINOs then they will change.

Then again, they really don't care about losing as long as the money still flows to D.C.

Hence, the reason a new party is the only true solution.

Of course the liberals want to control this. Makes it easier to eventually admit to one-party rule publicly.

Don’t be surprised if Michelle Obama runs, or even Chelsea Clinton. Yes, America is THAT F’ed up it would elect either candidate, as America is dominated and controlled by the female voter.
