Ahh... I miss you guys. Popularliberty is offline. Sadly, I've lost touch since 2012.

Anyway, saw this article and I hunted for a place to share.

This comment really got me:

"Still, Scheffler said he was not a fan of the eight-state threshold implemented at the 2012 convention by Mitt Romney's delegates, which he described as an attempt to besmirch Texas Rep. Ron Paul's supporters.

"I don't know where I'm at on that. I would love to change it back, but the last thing we can ill afford is a war or going out of the convention divided," Scheffler said. "[T]he Romney people should have thought about the ramifications of what they were trying to ram through because they wanted to make a point of sticking their poker in the eyeball of Ron Paul liberty people. And again, I wasn't a Ron Paul liberty person."

Honestly, I hope it comes back and bites them in the ass.

All comes down to how the monitor is read.

They'll probably keep the rule, it will serve as a test vote to see what the non-Cruz + non-Trump support looks like.
