Florida delegates should tell the RNC to go screw and to stop letting New Hampshire from giving worthless moderates momentum.
Of course the RNC loves worthless moderates!
Enjoy it while you can, GOP.
Big Whoop. Delegates mean nothing. It’s not like they have any real say-so in the party or anything..........
Just my NSHO.

Iowa and New Hampshire going first is something that needs to change. Also, there should be no opportunity for democrat crossover. Our system is rigged in favor of GOPe.
They should stick the names of the states in a Bingo bin and the order they are drawn out is the order of the primaries.
I am surprised to see. Florida has become THE ground zero to pick our moderate winner the last two cycles. With the size of the state and many media markets, the party favorites have an advantage here they can’t get in South Carolina, and the earlier primaries. It gives the party and the candidate funded with top fundraisers a huge opportunity to put away any upstarts or base voters. I would think the RNC would love it.
In my Humble Opinon, the GOP Primary selection rules are totally broken. The seat of power within the party must be removed from Washington DC, forever.
If they keep up the crap they pulled in the primary this time there will be another option. The GOP (which I have always been a part since I first voted) will cease to exist if this is not fixed.
I think this is a stupid, stupid rule. Florida is a battleground state that ought to have a bigger say in the nominee.
Frankly, NH is also a battleground state, so I don’t mind it having an early primary either.
But SC? It isn’t even close. Same with California. Or Utah. Why not let the Presidential battlegrounds have an earlier say in the selection of a nominee?
What is so important about Iowa, New Hampshire, South Carolina and Nevada that they should have their primaries first. I agree with others, make a single Republican primary day. There is no reason that those four states should “pick” the Rep nominee, which is what seems to happen most of the time.
They need to write down the name of each state on a small slip of paper, and draw them from a hat for the order of the primaries. Of course, this might just make it so that GOPe can’t control the selection of the nominee, so that would never, ever happen.
To reform the RNC every GOP voter has to pay attention to who's on the ballot for "national committeeman" in his district.......and who's running the show in his county's Republican County Committee and hierarchy.....all of whom have input and influence with the National Committee.
Conservatives love to spend their time getting all involved in social issues, but they dislike getting involved in party apparatus. The result is what everyone's kvetching about above. And this is why the RNC has slipped from our grasp.
It's a bottom-up thingy, not the other way around. Folks HAVE to get involved at the local GOP level.
Comprende?
