I get that you need to have contingency plans in place, but this looks like they're trying to rig the game and it just feeds the narrative that the establishment is completely out of touch with the base.

They are trying to rig the game and they are completely out of touch. Yebbie's pissed 75 million buckadingdongs down the drain and some of the big boys may be wanting a little return on their investment, yes, but blowing the party up is a losing bet no matter how you look at it, and coming out of the convention with "Let Them Eat Cake" as the new slogan is going to make folks just a little cranky.

Oh, I think there is a strong argument to the contrary - blowing up the party is a winning bet no matter how you look at it.
