The Party Chooses the Nominee, Not the Voters


A member of the Republican National Rules Committee said that the party will decide who the GOP nominee will be, not the voters.

"The media has created the perception that the voters will decide the nomination," Curly Haugland said. "That's the conflict here."

"The political parties choose their nominees, not the general public, contrary to popular belief," he added.

Haugland was then asked what the point of holding primaries is if the party can disregard the will of the voters.

"That's a very good question," he responded.

Isn't that only partially true?

Getting the required delegates on the first ballot should take the party out of the equations.

But you must not forget the rules committee. The week before the convention, they will make the rules for that years convention, and as in the past, can add other requirements to overturn the voters choice.
