Most delegates that attend Friday night, also attend Saturdays business. And if not, then those delegates that don't show up are replaced by alternate delegates, so what's the diff?? Besides, any delegate not 'offered a seat on the bus' could just as easily, get in their car and drive themselves to convention, so nobody controls which delegates reach state convention. Not by determining who rides on said bus anyways.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-191275644331392359.post-56519176441066975342017-06-27T10:51:04.901-07:002017-06-27T10:51:04.901-07:00Agree totally!Agree totally!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-191275644331392359.post-2121940392551190102017-06-26T10:03:10.123-07:002017-06-26T10:03:10.123-07:00You are so right.

Delegates are then bussed home before critical Party business on Saturday. Who pays for the buses, and who is offered a seat on the bus? Is this Bill really "stripping power to choose Lt. Gov nominee" from delegates or stripping power from those who control which delegates reach State convention? If a politician can "deliver" a sizable chunk of the delegates from their district, they wield influence and power, and can sometimes get themselves nominated for SOS, for example.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-191275644331392359.post-56501936378383956542017-06-26T06:04:44.330-07:002017-06-26T06:04:44.330-07:00Power Grab?

People who control the delegates, control who gets selected as Republican candidates for SOS, Lt Gov, etc. Not every state selects the Republican primary candidates with this method. County Delegates who promise to "Join my Team" get selected to go to State Convention and then vote for approved candidates. Maybe Republican Party Primary candidates for these offices should be elected in the primary, by citizens across the state. But that would take Power away from certain politicians, who have been planning for decades.<br />10th District VoterAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-191275644331392359.post-86775262409382009142017-06-25T23:02:29.793-07:002017-06-25T23:02:29.793-07:00Let's Elect a REAL PLATFORM/CONSERVATIVE REPUB...Let's Elect a REAL PLATFORM/CONSERVATIVE REPUBLICAN this time (Patrick Colbeck) and he'll suggest a worthy Lt Gov that we'll be Happy to get behind! <br /><br />more: https://www.facebook.com/DraftPatrickColbeckJLenardDetroithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04679533857861991385noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-191275644331392359.post-69519880747956144242017-06-25T22:03:07.034-07:002017-06-25T22:03:07.034-07:00Yet another Power Grab from the MIGOPe/RINOs!
