So the Chairman of the Republican Convention in Cleveland this summer has the ability to ignore the convention rules and open the nomination for nominee for POTUS to anyone he wants to.
Some in the GOP think this would be an unmitigated disaster, and want to change the rules to prevent it, but the Establishment is fighting it.
So thus we see how the Establishment is going to Screw Cruz anyway, no matter how many delegates he or Trump have when the convention opens.
If they pull this stunt on Trump and he has enough to clinch the nomination, it will amount to the beginning of the slow painful Death of the GOP.
Good, it needs to die so we can have a real opposition party to the Democrats. I'm just hoping the whole damned thing blows up; it is a useless ineffective pile of shyte.
GOP official rails over effort aimed at nomination rules
When Republicans meet in Florida next week to discuss their rules, Oregon RNC committeeman Solomon Yue wants to propose not running full convention meetings under the rules of the House of Representatives, a long tradition. Instead, Yue wants to use Roberts Rules of Order.
Yue and others say under the Roberts rules, it would be easier for the convention's delegates to vote to block an effort by the convention's presiding officer to consider new nominees for president. Under House rules, the presiding officer has more power to make decisions about the proceedings.
Ash said RNC officials have repeatedly asked him and Yue to withdraw Yue's proposal or even to cancel this week's GOP rules committee meeting. Ash said he refused.
He said that last Thursday, Ryder "convened a rules committee whip call to strategize against and led the opposition to the Yue amendment at the chairman's request."
