Reality Check: Why all RNC delegates are 'Free Agents' and unbound

[zachrbroussard]

From Ben's facebook:

"Reality Check tonight, I respond to the blog "Ben Swann got it wrong on Rule 38 and unbound delegates"
Some good points were brought up in that blog... which allows me to sharpen the argument. Share this page today because tonight (will post link after the show) I have something remarkable to share"

I'll paste the link when he posts it!

Good. I hope it helps clarify the debate here. I don't know what to think about it!

 

[dancjm]

I look forward to the remarkable!

What time will this go up, anyone know?

 

[zachrbroussard]

I think they air at 10pm eastern and are online about 30 minutes after they air. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

Rule 38 does not matter. The rules do not go into effect until voted on. The establishment will motion to change the rules before convention business begins

Don't you mean the majority will be voting on the rules before convention business begins? That could potentially be us...

That is him saying that about his facebook, but I will paste it when he posts it!

I wish he would also do a reality check on rule 11.

Yes, that would be nice.

Someone on the forum raised the issue of Romney simply failing to carry the motion to have his name placed on the RNC ballot. Why isn't there more attention to this? The contention was that the votes to place names on the nominating ballot may have nothing to do with which candidate on that ballot a delegate may or may not be pledged to vote for on the first round. Also: Corallary question: can Ron Paul supporters win the majority of Romney pledged delegate positions?

Interesting.

The word "motion" is a noun. To say that someone "will motion" is like saying they "will highway" or "will window" or "will lizard". The correct term instead of "motion" here is "move" - "They will move".

I wish more people on this forum were more interested in the English language instead of tearing it to shreds all the time.

So ask him to do it already!

I think a better way to word your last sentence would be: I wish more people on this forum were more interested in the English language THAN tearing it to shreds all the time.

I'll take a crack at it: "I wish a greater number of forum participants were committed to proper use of the English language." Or is it "usage?"
