RNC Rule Change Would Give Rand Convention Speech and Nomination Chance

[Smitty]

The RNC will never allow Rand to be its candidate.

Here is Morton Blackwell talking about the 2012 RNC. He's not exactly a liberty guy, but he does support the grassroots in general



I don't remember if he talks about John Sununu locking him out of the committee vote; This year, Sununu is one of Kasich's guys.

I think its ludicrous no ones been talking about running for national delegates under the Trump or Cruz banner and taking off after however many votes unbind you if this thing goes multi-ballot? Is it not Paul or Bust?

It's kind of impossible to organize something like that in the open. I'm sure it's happening though.

Plug me in?

Who says I know anything about that ? I don't.

I'm just convinced there are individuals who have their own opinions that are being elected as delegates.

In previous elections that may not have mattered too much but this time around it seems to be a different story.

Also, I don't think this is the right venue to organize something like that per-se. It might be. However, the better way is probably to form alliances at your local GOP conventions which may lead you to be elected as a delegate. Depending on which state you are in of course.

Only problem with that is, should your plan succeed, people probably won't like you for it afterwards.

[CPUd]

This is not the place to be talking about delegate stuffs.

Is it not Paul or Bust?

No. Paul isn't running for president anymore.

[nikcers]

No. Paul isn't running for president anymore.

Paul suspended his 2016 presidential campaign, during the announcement he simply said he said it was to focus on his senate re-election. He said he left the campaign in the same state of mind he started it. You could say that the republicans need that senate seat, but the same could be said about the presidency and supreme court nominations.

I think Rand would have a better chance at the election then Cruz or Kaisich, and I am pretty sure that Rand only dropped out of the primary contests because he knew something that we didn't know. I find it very odd that even before 2015 insiders were saying that the primary contests didn't matter. (Jeb Bush: Republicans have to 'lose the primary to win the general)

[CPUd]

Yes, Rand is still running the same campaign, it is just smaller scale and more localized on the issues. By election day, he will have met and made his case to every voter in KY.

Not if he isn't even running.

[nikcers]

Not if he isn't even running.

I know but just because we stopped fighting for him doesn't mean he stopped fighting for us. Rand is the only one who is worth my vote.

@RandPaul
Time to defend the 4th amendment. Prepare for battle.
