(10,857 posts)Do any of you really think that a party of criminals would let mere rules hold them back? This is how long Republican rules would hold up in an RNC meeting:
(gavel) The Emergency Meeting of the Republican is convened.
Mr. Chairman, I move to suspend the rules for this meeting.
The motion to suspend the rules is put before the committee by voice vote. All in favor signify by saying, "aye."
AYE.
The motion to suspend the rules is carried.
Mr. Chairman, I move to remove Donald J. Trump as Republican nominee for President of the United States....
Republicans are criminals. Their rules exist to facilitate their criminal ways. They can and will do whatever they want to do. The only question is whether they want to do this or not. My guess is that they're depending on the knuckledraggers to carry the House and the Senate for them, so we're unlikely to see the above. But if it gets bad enough, we just might see it as late as Halloween.
