Now, what is this bullshit?
'Top' Republicans? Who are these people?
Seems like they're just saying anything and putting it out there to keep everyone confused! Where is this going?

RNC weighs scrapping convention rule book to head off anti-Trump maneuvers
Switch to Robert’s Rules of Order would ensure more transparency

Top Republicans will try to force more transparency at the party’s national convention in July, aiming to scrap their 1,500-page rule book in favor of simpler procedures that they hope will head off arcane maneuvers designed to deny Donald Trump the presidential nomination.

I am from Solomon Yue's home state of OR and I am active in the party. National Committeeman Solomon Yue is a snake. Not Liberty. He was very involved in the 2012 CD convention debacle here and the ensuing cover-up.

He is a refugee from Communist China and some in our state believe that he is actually a Manchurian Candidate-type plant. Be careful, he is very devious.

Thanks for putting this information out, so we can all gage the level of BS we are getting from these "helpful" people.
