"There are no rules at this convention," before it starts Kasich said. "The Rules Committee hasn't even met. They haven't even been selected."

"They're not going to change any rules. You don't change rules that haven't been set," he argued. The Rules Committee sets whatever rules it wants to before each convention, based subjectively on how the Rules Committee members feel about the candidates, Kasich explains.

On the one hand, the GOPe says everything will be done by the rules. On the other hand, they claim to be bound by no existing rules, because they intend to rewrite the rules later.

Fascinating.

They have had one consistent rule since the administration of Ulysses S. Grant: they always protect the economic interests of the crony capitalists for whom they act as front men.

This year, Trump threatens to overturn their applecart, so voters be damned!
