One would risk being disgusted if one saw politics, justice, and one’s dinner in the making.
– Nicolas de Chamfort (1741–1794)
Barely able to conceal their disdain, the invited guests squeezed through the sea of MAGA caps and blue Trump flags filling the hallway on their way to the registration table. Once handed their credentials, they could escape the red-shirted throng outside into the civilized safety of the meeting room, where their respectable colleagues awaited them, to transact the business of the day. It was clear that the pro-Trump crowd outside would remain outside, their presence not welcome within the assembly room, their opinions less so.
So commenced the hastily convened meeting of the California Republican Party (CRP or CAGOP) Executive Committee in Irvine on Saturday, July 29, 2023. The stated reason for this meeting was to discuss and approve a bylaw amendment to bring CRP rules for the 2024 Presidential Primary into compliance with Republican National Committee (RNC) rules. The unstated reason was to change the presidential delegate allocation for the California primary such that it would be more difficult for any one candidate (think Donald Trump) to walk away with all the delegates at stake. The executive committee understood. The Trump supporters outside understood and weren’t having it. Regardless of the sentiment outside, those inside the room would do their duty and rubber stamp the foreordained decision of those at the top. Trump must be stopped.
In California, presidential delegates to the national convention have historically been awarded on a “winner-take-all” by congressional district basis. Whoever gets more primary votes than any other candidate within a given congressional district gets all three delegates assigned to that district. Additionally, ten at-large delegates are awarded to the candidate receiving the most votes statewide. However, the RNC’s Rule 16(c)(2) states:...

Of course, RINOs.
They’ve been to the mountaintop of nowhere and yet they claim to have seen it all. Maybe they have, since it’s all in their heads. Who are we to decide? /s
The California GOP? I thought they were extinct. Might as well be, given their absolute destruction in California politics.
Which phone booth did they meet in?
What we are observing here is the lesser of two evils.
No. What you are experiencing is being good copped by your captor.
Yeah sure. What?

The problem is, these people are leaving out the power of God. They think they are God I think they’re in for a rude awakening quite soon.
My point is that you think you are voting for the lesser of two evils...but really you're being played. The Republicans and Democrat parties have been good copping/bad copping us for decades to get votes and remain in power. There is no functional or practical difference between the two. It's like the coyote and dog from that old cartoon who pretend to be enemies but after work are chummy as can be.
You’re preaching to the choir. When using the term ‘lesser of two evils’ that’s just me ragging on the true believers who harp about how we have to elect the ‘r’ because if not then the ‘d’ gets elected, they call it electing the lesser of two evils. I no longer belong in the ‘r’ wing of the uni-Party. Thanks for explaining.
