No, For now, Florida works alright. Other states do fine with open primaries, it depends on the numbers of registrants.
According to TED’s new proposal—
FLORIDA-Over 1 million voters chose Donald Trump, if the 99 delegates had NOT been bound to Trump thru 3 ballots by FL Party Rule....I would suspect that 89 would be voting in July for -JEB BUSH. Ted may think they would vote for him even though he had 17% of the Florida vote and Jeb had 3%, but I know the majority are party insiders that LOVE the BUSHes.
When tens of millions of dollars are invested in OPP Our principles PAC - NeverTrump backing Cruz- Their primary goal was to woo delegates (not pay for commercials) You tell me. What is the price per head for a delegate?
It’s a crooked corrupt system and Ted wants to make it even more crooked.
Ted is raising more snakes and just bought a bigger new tent!
There you go again, all this handwringing over what you, without providing anything to back up your opinion, think may have happened, if this or whatabout that. This article is a jumbled mess of what ifs. Has Ted issued any statements saying that he was planning on changing the rules for THIS convention that would preclude Trump from being the nominee? Has he made any statement that he is planning to run in 2020? The answer to both questions is no. He has said he is planning to run for reelection in 2018 and he thinks he has some better ideas on how to run the convention. Whether the convention ideas are better is open for debate. You read some articles that make up some sensational and misleading headlines, that pick up on the same Politico piece claiming that Ted is going to take over the world. And the handwringing continues. This is a crazy distraction from what the real agenda right now should be; defeating Hillary. Trump needs ALL the votes he can get and the incessant hit pieces on Ted, and then the attempted flogging of anyone who calls for taking a deep breath and dares not be as outraged as NeverCruz thinks they should be ain’t winning anyone over to Trump.
Psst, I heard that Beautiful Gracious Skies is a Jeb troll who is trying to outmaneuver Cruz outmaneuver Trump at the convention and by making all these off the wall accusations about Ted is making sure the spotlight is off Jeb (haha, as if that is a problem) so he can get his 89 delegates from Florida to take over the national convention. Crazy conspiracy theories are kind of fun, but that’s all they are.
You’ve done a great job of making us all aware that Politico thinks Ted is going to crash the convention. Thanks. It’s an interesting theory. If it actually does happen it’s going to take a lot more than posting about it here and calling your reps to reverse it.
Here’s a curious scenario: Ted Cruz crashes the convention, somehow gets enough delegates to change the rules for this convention and in so doing becomes the republican nominee. Do you vote for him to keep Hillary out? Or are you NeverCruz and allow Hillary to sail into office? I think this is about as likely of happening as the nonsense above about Jeb.
