It does not bother you that Mitt Romney led the rules changes on delegates?

That your state GOP party no longer matters?The national GOP(168 men)choose the nominee now,and that nominee can dismiss any delegate they choose for any reason.

I do not see how losing your voice to have any say in the presidential candidate could possibly sway you to vote for them?

The Republican party really screwed up.
Thread on the topic...with many links and GOP sources including Morton Blackwell,who has sat on the national rules commitee since 1972...saying

"Handing national party officials the power to change national party rules adopted by state and grassroots leaders at the Republican National Convention. For generations, the prohibition of manipulated changes in the national Rules of the Republican Party between national conventions has served as one of the crown jewels of our party. It’s a power grab which opens the door to many future power grabs.

*** Stripping state parties in all states with binding primaries of the power of choosing who will represent their states as national delegates and alternate delegates.

This outrageous change would empower presidential campaigns to disapprove and remove delegates and alternate delegates selected by rules adopted by state Republican parties. Rather than grassroots activists who won delegate and alternate delegate slots by following state party rules, a large majority of positions would be handed to top donors of the winning campaign.

*** Gutting the great and successful reform adopted in the current election cycle to stop the dangerous trend to front-load the selection of national convention delegates. Our party would move again toward a national primary which would deny grassroots Republicans the opportunity to vet presidential candidates in a nomination contest of reasonable length. This reform must not be abandoned."

Well sorry to say Morton Blackwell lost that fight,to Mitt Romney.
