    The "interest of the party" shouldn't be a mandate, otherwise, we have tyranny, tbh... and no, the delegates were NOT legally removed
    Once the candidate is decided upon, it's completely in the interest of the party to jettison the assholes.

    NOT legally removed?

    What law was broken? Give us the statute.

    Apparently, UTSA is too busy teaching rhetorical devices to their students to bother educating you people on our political process, tbh...
    Apparently, Paulbots are too busy being assholes to realize just how little support their messiah received in the primaries, tbh...

    Santorum and Gingrich kicked his ass tbh.

    The Maine delegates won the right to be seated at the convention, and were kicked out for no reason, tbh....

    When you realize that, as a commoner, you have no voice, no say in anything, you will become apathetic to it all and go about your business. Unless you are wealthy enough to attract the attention of either party, you are no one. You don't even have the right to speak at a convention. If you wish to speak, you must do so at a remote area where no one is able to hear you, as that preserves your 1st Amendment rights via loophole and create legal maneuvering and still allows the facade of a two party system to have their WWE style contest. It keeps the sponsors happy, you know, those companies owned mostly by the incredibly wealthy.

    We haven't progressed at all in 500 years.

    Apathy's definitely the wrong reaction though, as that's the main goal of all the bull the elites in both parties pull.... they WANT everyone to stop caring so that they can stay in power and do whatever the they want out in the open....

    The system of the Electoral College pretty much serves as a firewall against radical change. No one worth a has ever been in office during my lifetime. No one worth a has even been on a ballot.

    The entire system is about which group of people get to spread the spoils from our tax dollars to their friends. It's always been that way, even Washington was a piece of .

    So, I am not about to make believe I am part of some pseudo uprising when any real uprising by the US citizens would be more of a whimper on facebook and a town hall gathering of gots and emo dikes than anything to raise eyebrows in the world of financial royalty.

    Um, no, it just makes presidential candidates have to actually work to get elected, as opposed to just doing a couple campaign stops in New York, Texas, and California and calling it a year, tbh...

    Paul never had a chance.

    They were kicked out because they were assholes who proclaimed they were going to be assholes.

    Oh, I know what you think conventions are for. Time for assholes to do whatever they want.

    Who said I loved it? I just said you hated it.

    I was fine with all the delegates voting for the candidates according to the results of the primaries and caucuses. Ron Paul was going to lose anyway. I was also fine with the asshole delegates getting the boot since they stated their sole purpose at the convention was to be a bunch of assholes. I told everyone here it was going to happen and you idiots acted shocked and surprised when it finally did happen.

    At the time they changed the rules, Paul had enough pluralities to be nominated from the floor under the old rules.... wrong again, son....

    Not defending.

    Cheering, perhaps -- just because I knew the reaction that was coming.

    Ron Paul got his ass kicked in the primaries, so his worshipers decided to be assholes and they got their asses kicked even worse.

    Deservedly so.

    No, it actually doesn't.

    You are part of the population regardless where you live, only with the electoral college, your vote is now weighted differently if you live in a low population area vs a high population area. That is not equal representation. So contrary to your assertion above, candidates would not be able to ignore certain states under the logic that they are locked already for their opponent. They would not just campaign in swing states. Every vote would matter, as it should.
