I am not defaming Louisiana, I am point out the suspicious activity of the Louisiana GOP party.
There was no ‘suspicious activity’ in Louisiana State Convention.
The delegate award was proportional to our popular vote!
18/18/5/5.
Furthermore, the 12 At-Large delegates for Trump that were selected at the State Convention were precisely the 12 At-Large members that the Chariman* of the Trump delegation submitted to the State convention.
And as to the Trump camps second claim, that there was a ‘secret meeting’ to which ‘they were not invited’ at the end of the Louisiana State Convention where the national delegates elected their leaders, this claim is also utter rubbish.
Complete rubbish.
The delegate meeting is very clearly specified in the Louisiana rule. First, these rules were put into place in the previous year. These rules were clearly posted. The rule in question was not changed from previous conventions - leader selection for the delegation was also done at the end of the Convention four years ago?
Why?
Because typically people who are trying to become national delegates, those that are serious, are at the State Convention. So the best time for the national delegates to meet in any large State is right after they have all been selected at the State convention.
If the Trump delegates were nit at the meeting, that was their choice.
And clearly both Chairmen of the a Trump delegation were at the meeting.
The incompetence and chaos if the Louisiana Trump delegation is their own fault.
The rule:
“RULE NO. 6. Election of Delegation Officers and Committee Representatives. Immediately following the adjournment of the State Convention, all delegates to the National Convention shall meet and elect officers, including, but not limited to: Chairman, Honorary Co-Chairmen (to include all Republican statewide elected officials and all Republican Congressmen), Vice-Chairman, Secretary, Treasurer and committee representatives. If a Republican is serving as governor, the Governor shall be designated as Honorary Chairman. Alternates may vote only in the absence of delegates.”
So please, stop with the defamation.
