As RNC reboots, Reince Priebus reaches out to the Ron Paul liberty movement

On face the nation he was talking about how the RNC will "place and fund representatives" across the country to keep in close ties with grass roots. Said something about how the RNC parachutes in during elections and leaves right after. Said They need a more respected voice to "talk" about republican nominees.

What I took from it is their going to be funding grassroots insurgents to push their chosen one.

Looks like they want to drop caucuses entirely for primaries... guess who did well in the caucuses?
Anyone they send to mingle with the grassroots activists and delegates spouting rhetoric to drop caucuses in favor of primaries is going to be laughed right back to where they came from. Here in MI where we have taxpayer funded primaries, this issue is a focal point of the grassroots base and anyone not for going to a convention/caucus system for picking nominees is immediately not welcome. Best way to separate the true conservatives from the frauds.
 
It's time the liberty movement tell Priebus what we want if the GOP wants our cooperation. Not the other way around. We need to make it clear we won't be co-opted into business as usual and won't be supporting their establishment candidates. We'll pick our own candidates that we want them to support. Not visa-versa. If not, they can expect spectacular losses.

Rand and Co. need to get ahold of this and communicate it to them.
 
The liberty side wants an end to endless intervention and adventurism abroad, sound money at home, restoration of civil liberties, and strict limits on federal power as per the Constitution. Same as it ever was. The establishment guys want us to abandon all that stuff, and conform to their sameo statism. They're only talking to the liberty grassroots now because it's not election season, and they want to head off another grassroots explosion that led to a bunch of 'unmanageable' tea party folks getting elected in 2010 and 2012.

And most amazingly, the establishment wants the grassroots to accept the top-down, corrupt insider primary system that cheated Paul out of caucus AND primary wins throughout the 2012 race. This experience was absolutely disgusting, and shocking to newcomer activists who were unfamiliar with how the system has used such tactics to suppress third party and alternative candidacies for decades. These people are not going to accept any more such corruption and want at least a fair fight in the Presidential primaries, not more 'hacks rule' shenanigins. Unless THEY compromise next time, the Reinces of the GOP have another bath to take in 2016.
 
The number one thing I want from the RNC is to stop being dictated to by whoever has the most money.
 
I don't trust Reince.

Reason has an analysis:

So yeah, Reince wants to reach out to us... then kick us in the teeth and make sure a candidate with $100m can only ever win the GOP nomination.

Great....

We must fight this, of course.

Trust doesn't even belong in the same sentence with Preibus. I knew it wouldn't take those assholes long to start changing more rules and stifling more dissent.
