The Delegate Fight: 2012

[H.E. VOLODYMYR ZELENKSYY]

A change in the delegate selection process this late in the game is very expressly against RNC rules.  While a vote at the convention itself (excluding Texas' delegates) could overturn that, there's no way that, if Texas were the deciding factor in stopping a Romney majority, that the vote would pass on the floor.

Actually, it would appear that WTA contests are against national RNC rules, so I think there's actually more chance that when it's all said and done that Willard will lose some from Arizona and Florida, rather than anything crazy happening with Texas.

WTA contests are only against the rules for contests going before a certain date (in March iirc)

And they already got penalized by losing half of their delegates.

Amazing how the Paul campaign works. So much for "Liberty".

So they should wave the white flag to the anti-liberty establishment?

We're not saying that, it's just that for a candidate who prides himself on being the anti-establishment go-to guy, Paul's campaign seems to be very good at subverting the will of the people and stealing delegates from the candidates who actually won.

Not really, if the other people had such a strong will, they'd be able to take advantage of it and win those states, but only the Paul people have that will.

That's not the point. The point is that Paul is stealing delegates.

You do realize that the nomination is not through any sort of popular vote?

A: That's not entirely true.

B: That's not my point. I'm simply saying that if Paul really wants to run against the establishment, he shouldn't be using dirty tricks to get more than his fair share of delegates. No one should.
