Then why do we go through the very expensive election process?
If this is not unique to the GOP then we should disband all political parties
I figure the Trump supporters are giving them a shelling. -Tom

RUSH: Folks, did you hear what you just heard? Did it sink in what you just heard? This is a Republican rules committee member. I guarantee you he is gonna be walking this back at some point. But he's not gonna walk back what he meant. Curly Haugland, (imitating Curly) "No, I don't think that's the case. Once it's understood, once we explain to the people what's really at stake here, once we establishment pooh-bahs, once we explain what's going on, they'll fully understand what we are doing. Our problem's the media. The media just doesn't give us a fair shake, you know? It's a problem. The media's created a perception that the voters decide the nomination. The media focuses on these primaries and these election returns and the delegate allocations, and that doesn't mean anything. Political parties choose the nominee, not the general public, contrary to popular belief." Well, thenwhat is all this about? Is this just a scam for money to be spent and earned? Is that what this exercise is? Is the entire primary process nothing more than a fundraising and fund allocation effort? It's how the party gives back to the media with ad buys. It's how the consultants earn their money by being hired by the candidates who then raise the money, the consultants devise the ad buys from which they get 15%, is this how party members stay wealthy and stay connected while creating this illusion that the voter outcome actually determines things here?
Like it or not, he is telling the truth.
bttt
With everything else going on in my life THIS has irritated my last nerve. I’ve had it with the RNC.

Wasn’t it reported today that John Boener said he would nominate Paul Ryan?
So fkn what? This is the first time that I have seen it!
On the other hand, it's a damn good thing that we have people like you that are counting, otherwise...????? WHAT?!?

“Haugland was then asked what the point of holding primaries is if the party can disregard the will of the voters.
“That’s a very good question,” he responded.”
I believe only certain districts can do this. But, still it’s so against the will of the people.
In 1910, only one state held a GOP primary. By 1968, there were only twelve states that held GOP primaries. So the notion that the people ought to decide the GOP nominee is less than a generation old.
