I know exactly how corrupt the GOP is.

But uninformed voters dont bother to find out what their own state primary rules are. every state has their own - and all those lazy people get all riled up, go online complaining that they have been cheated - dont bother to go any further than their keyboard to make changes in those rules.

cheating the voters in late primary states out of their choice will NOT prevent a contested convention and is not an excuse for such heavyhanded tactics.

when you become the very thing you rail against congratulations - you’ve just become the GOP.

“all those lazy people get all riled up”

Completely unfair characterization....Not everyone has a spare moment to meet during the day (when a lot of the county stuff occurs) and a free evening to do one thing extra. The ambitious throw their families under the bus while they play politics. Many folks are working two or three jobs to make ends meet and care for their families

Most who are involved deeply in local politics are either part of the machine that keeps on chugging or they have retired and now have time to do those things.

They fact that the rules are not easily located or talked about I think underscores the fact that sometimes folks just don’t know. Now they have been awakened.

I don’t have a lot of hope that anything will change.

Don’t bother to respond. I don’t need to know how dedicated you personally are
