20. What Amazes Me

Jul 2016

is that anyone thought for a minute that this sort of thing DOESN'T go on in the national committees. They are partisan organizations, and yeah they have some rules, but rules they made up themselves and can break whenever they want. They are an arm of the political establishment. Anybody who thought any _NC was nonpartisan and would not advantage the establishment candidate needs a trip to planet earth.

If people wouldn't get so worked up over every chair throwing (or alleged chair throwing) in Vegas, believing every bit of nonsense that comes across a wire, this really wouldn't even be an issue. Pols will be pols.

A ridiculous sideshow in my opinion.
