That was the plan for this convention. It would have been the first time that they tried it at the national convention, but we have seen it at the state conventions. We have had Libertarian delegates who had to be removed from the floor.
Our local GOP limited the debate in the last convention by proposing a very vague, short platform that couldn’t get picked apart.
