Why can’t he just leap into a swimming pool filled with orange spray-on tan and drown himself?
Your comment is noted.
With the Bushiites getting their money bag guys alongside Cruz, he is in a vulnerable position when and if they need to pull the strings for leverage at the convention. Despite some outward evidence to the contrary I actually think his inclinations are contrary to GOPe hegemony. This may all be moot when the Bushiite cabal starts to pull at the monebags.
Now for the bad news ...
The hijacking and shenanigans happen well before the national convention. Most of it takes places at local precinct, district, senatorial, & state party caucuses. That’s where the campaigns and party insiders get involved to challenge delegate credentials, etc. essentially to have certain delegates removed and their desired delegates elected/seated.
It’s how Obama stole the Texas Democrat delegates from Hillary in 2008 even though she won the primary vote.
Y’all are worrying about what “they” might try right in front of you when what you should be worried about is what they’re doing right now behind your back at local and state caucuses.
How TEXAS went Cruz I’m sure I don’t know, but nevertheless I reside in a heavily conservative and CRUZ berserker district.
No citizen serving as a delegate has any clue how to even find “the rules”, and when you dig around they may or may not even apply to your neighborhood, etc.
The rubes kept ignorant is the plan and it has always worked, but it works only for the Estab’ and serves their purposes.
Better to come up with answers, resolutions, and broadly available tutorials rather than rest in the case we are all uninformed, ill informed, and outsiders to the shenanigans.
We ARE outsiders. NO ONE is throwing us a rope line.
WE have let too much go for too many decades to let it go this year.
Thanks, Buckeye.
Boehner is losing it bigtime.
