#3 They rewrite the rules at each convention anyway.

So do the Dems.

#4 The only rule that counts is the one on the counting in November. If your process isn't focused on that one, you're spinning your wheels.

#5 So first they weren't going to change the rules, then they were, then they might, then they certainly weren't, now they are?

I can't imagine they want to change alot and get complaints about "stealing", but maybe one of the candidates forgot a requirement?

#6 ..apparently, a lot of the (now formerly) registered party voters 'forgot' about the requirement too.

#7 There is no longer two parties. Both have now become one group that can be refered to as the "Political Class".

#8 Rule 40b. Eliminate that and let the shenanigans begin. Its the only way the GOP rules-makers can nominate someone other than Cruz or Trump.
