I think many of us are aghast to learn that the rules were set up to allow the GOPe to overrule the voters.

The rules need to change. It seems some states have fair rules and the delegates are based on the primary. Other states have rules that make the primary a sham.

Hi DannyTN,

Thanks for your kind response. Yes, I agree, the rules are a travesty. They certainly need to be re-tooled. But, you and I know, that any changes in the rules will go through the structures of the Republican Party. I guess you could say that there are rules for that. Like Congress, rules are modified/adopted very slowly in the process set up by the party. I fault myself for not doing my own due diligence.

It occurred to me today, hearing Hannity say that if he was a delegate (which he could never be since he isn’t a Republican), he would never waver on voting for the candidate receiving his pledge. The only problem with that is that if all delegates did that, there would never be a nominee. Unless the majority (currently 1237) of delegates was obtained prior to the convention.

I’m already questioning belonging to a political party that has a ramshackle approach.

I wish you only good things, my FRiend.
