They did not have the same rules for 100 years. They changed to the 8 wins thing in 2012 and you know that.

The article references changing from a majority to a plurality. The GOP has had a majority rule since its founding, while Democrats had a TWO-THIRDS rule for a hundred years.

The two-thirds rule was the reason the Democrats took over 100 votes in 1924.

And now they change the 8 wins back “oh that was for 2012 only”. What?? It only proves the GOPe picks the candidate - not the people!

You still have hard feelings about the 2012 8 majority rule, do ya?

“Majority” of delegates for nomination has been the rule from day one.
