HOLLYWOOD, Fla. -- The Republican National Committee's Standing Rules Committee closed Wednesday without recommending any changes to the convention rules, with members in near-unanimous agreement that any changes would only fuel charges that the RNC is playing favorites in advance of the presidential nomination vote in Cleveland.
The biggest debate took place over an amendment proposed by Oregon commiteeman Soloman Yue to change the convention rules from House Rules to Robert's Rules of Order, which proponents say would prevent establishment-minded Republicans from inserting a favorable candidate at a later ballot during a contested convention. A half-dozen members rose to express their opposition to the proposal, all warning that any changes now would be damaging to the party.

I think this was probably the best thing to do.
Thanks, Walks! :)
And I think this was the right thing to do. You don't change the rules in the middle of a contest.

The RNC finally made a sane decision. Any changes would have been seen as further manipulation of the process.
Lawyers live for times like these....
I heard this was sort of a beauty pageant for the candidates, each presenting their case why they would win the general... drum up the support of the GOPe. OK, nothing to get real anxious about, right?
Then I read Trump would absolutely change the Pro-life plank of the GOP.
... need to start a little penmanship practice. Probably skip the Script, and just Print. Hmmm how should I do this, in basic Print, or with that Architectural style & flair? Hope there's plenty of space on the ballot.
Ted Cruz Meh.. needs a little more... something. Hmmm.
Ted Cruz better... but, still... Hmmm....
Ted Cruz Big and Bold for America - That's the Ted Cruz I'm voting for!
Maybe I'll get a yard sign:
CRUZ
Big and Bold
for America
or
TEA
When you absolutely,
positively, have to live free.
it's got possibilities....
