If the Republican establishment sabotages us bad enough, and the Democrats wreak enough havoc on our primary process to give us Mitens against the popular will of the Conservative voters, can the delegates walk into the convention and change the presumed nominee. Isn’t it the delegates vote that counts in the end?

Rush has talked about that in the past. While that can happen in theory, in his opinion it will never happen in reality.

I love Rush. I’m a 2 year at a time member of 24/7, and subscriber to the Letter. With all due respect to Rush, and with the very existence of our country in the balance, if Mittens gets the nomination, and it appears to be because of establishment, and Democrat tampering, then the delegates should walk into that convention and tell the National GOP to go pound sand.
After 2008, we should have fixed the whole open primary issue by now, but it’s clear now why they didn’t.
State primaries for both parties should be held on the same day, and they should be closed to anyone not registered to the party. That way if Dems want to interfere with our primary they have to sacrifice voting in theirs. And vice versa. Again all due respect to Rush, but I was never very comfortable with the “Operation Chaos” thing, and I know he was poking back at Dems who had already been doing it to us, but I always thought it was a case of too much “stooping to their level”.
