If you’re interested, saying, “not really” isn’t very comforting, Mr. Priebus.

Rinse avoided the point. The Rules Committee has been around for 100 years alright, but that is beside the point, The Rules get changed, and *were* changed just last cycle to kill off the Ron Paul insurgency.

Now the Establishment are the insurgents this cycle, against TRUMP and find themselves hamstrung by their own damn rules, and they want to play with the Rules again, to untie their shoe laces from one another.

HotAir had a column this morning all about RULE 40, and the eight state rule that has backfired on the GOPE.

At this point, the relevant group is the Convention Rules Committee, whose changes would have to be approved by a vote of the whole convention.

The great majority at the convention will be Trump and Cruz delegates, almost all elected in their own right by the folks back home and owing nothing to party bosses like Rinse. Think they’ll just say OK to DC insiders?

And Rush Limbaugh was speaking today about how easy it is for the gop to change rule 40.
They could do it the day before the convention if they chose to.
