What they are doing is the GOPe is positioning its hand-picked delegates and “sleepers” to the rules committee rather than delegates favorable to the candidate.
This is so they can lay down whatever rules they need to prior to the convention to get their “puppet” nominated. Just look at all the talking heads this week saying we need someone - a fresh face - to be nominated.
They are laying the groundwork (trying to limit damage) when the nominee turns out to be someone not even running.
“What they are doing is the GOPe is positioning its hand-picked delegates and “sleepers” to the rules committee rather than delegates favorable to the candidate.”
The delegates can vote on a resolution to abolish the current rules committee and create a new rules committee. That throws the entire GOP convention into screaming chaos.
