“I still think the GOP would luv to make Paul Ryan the nominee. And, despite what he says, Paul would luv to accept it.”
I think the RNC/GOPe cabal are actually going to try it.
Hugh Hewitt is demanding that Ryan and McConnell change the convention rules to make the first two ballots “advisory” and to require a super-majority to win the nomination.
How can anyone think that such patently anti-democratic shenanigans to make the vote irrelevant so that the GOP can anoint its chosen nominee would lead to anything but the permanent dissolution of the party?
There would be a revolt and a lot of people would walk out. Whether that would be “for show” or not is anyone’s guess.
