If the republican party can only save itself through a brokered convention, then I am no longer a Republican.

I want a party that is responsive to the people of the united states, not selecting their candidate behind the darkroom doors of the party elites.

If you sincerely believe that they will nominate Palin in a brokered convention, then yes, I’ve got a Bridge in brooklyn to sell us.

The salvation of the republican party is to turn to the people. A brokered convention means the party is finished. There is no point in working for them because our votes and our values, mean nothing.

Mitch McConnell proved this week that the GOP is not responsive to or representative of the people.

Our only hope is to wrest control from the entrenched elite.

The third-party route is doomed to failure. The Libertarians have been trying it for decades.

We have to kick the RINOs out and take over.

There is no other way.

The deep flaw in your reasoning is that the brokering proceeds behind closed doors.

It can only be done one delegate at a time on the floor.
