But if I were running shit and had someone who came in last and was trying to cause such a mess I probably would have done the same thing.
The GOP let Eastwood upstage Romney with a really mixed up rant that was mocked and actually ignored by the GOP on video. So they clearly have no problem allowing high profile distractions.
Ron Paul... All his supporters (most of them) wanted was to let the nation know the RP message.
They knew he wasn't going to win the nomination. Just let them hav 5 minutes to talk about their anti-spending campaign, and recognize all their hard work to reach that point with the 7 states - that's quite impressive. We already know Mitt may bring new confidence and some changes, but we can all admit he's not going to slash spending dude. He's a big govt republican.
GOP destroyed Rand, Rubio, Christie, and whoever else in 2016 or 2020. At this point, you pick the lukewarm frontrunner for next time, THAT is the guy you'll get. Primary won't matter. Let Huntsmann or whoever outspend ppl for 3 states and it's over.
Leaving the dude on the bus? Putting the vote results on a teleprompter before they were taken? Those weren't ron paul mistakes - those were GOP being not of/for the people, but rather quietly managing the people for the message they wanted.
Not good to bash the base. if they don't turn out in november to vote - now we can point at this convention and say this is why
