GOP Leaders: Only Half of Maine's Ron Paul Delegates will be Seated

Classy of Iowa:

IowaGOP ‏@IowaGOP
Rumor is RNC may take away half of Ron Paul Delegates from Maine. If this is true, the Iowa GOP will donate guest passes to all kept out.

Can anybody explain to me what Rand Paul's endorsement has exactly gained for the Ron Paul supporters and delegates that have poured time and money into the campaign, without getting a dime back?

Paul delegates maintained that they are not willing to compromise.

Delegate Mark Willis said, “I want to make this perfectly clear, our disposition has and will always be: never give in to deals or compromises, never, never, never. Never give in. Never surrender.”

How awesome are our Maine delegates?

Well you do get to hear Rand speak at the convention, which of course most of the country will not see because the networks are skipping the first night of the convention. He'll be giving a Mitt Romney approved speech naturally. Oh, then there's a tribune video too beforehand, I suppose. All in all it will be that proverbial 15 minutes before we go into the dark!

RON should be giving a speech. This is just giving Romney a way out, it is not a gain, but a loss.

You give us an alternative explanation, I'm happy to hear it. After what happened the past 48 hours I starting to agree.
 
"Well, I never thought that Rand Paul's endorsement of Romney was designed to gain something for Ron Paul supporters and delegates. "

Your right. It was only for himself. Ergo the definition of sellout. After he's RAND Paul and according to Rand, selfishness isn't wrong.

I guess the hurricane is Rand's fault, too? Or Benton's?

Why would you think that WE should be getting something from this? Isn't that a bit self-absorbed?

The benefits include "Rand keeps his word to support the nominee", which helps him in the future. And Rand doing well in the future is to our benefit.

Listen, Rand's a normal person. Either fully normal, or partially normal, but normal. The election, to normal people, was over. Ron Paul sent out an email saying that he wouldn't have enough delegates to win. Finished. Over. Done. Now, delusional, crazy, Ron Paul supporters didn't like this one bit. They didn't agree with the assessment that almost everyone else did, that it was over. So they bitched at Rand. We hoped to accomplish something short of a victory, because we have the free time. And we're still hoping to accomplish that, whatever it may be.

An easier time of this in '16

Isn't that obvious?
 
Yet another example of why taking over the GOP is a lost cause. We need to focus on things that may actually have some sucess

If there was a speech to be had, based on RON"s support, shouldn't it have been RON's speech?

If we show them we are door mats you expect better? Isn't that what 2008 was supposed to do for 2012? Besides, after Ron you could lose many to lack of a consensus candidate.
