Moving the Goal Posts

Back in 2012, when Ron Paul was looking like he had a serious chance to beat Romney to the nomination, the Republicans made a simple change in the rules to stop him. They changed rule 40(b) that originally said he had to get a majority of delegates in at least six states, to qualify.. After he qualified. They “moved the goal posts” further back and changed the rule to read EIGHT states. So Romney got the nomination and LOST the election. Now, to eliminate Trump from consideration, they have eliminated rule 40(b) altogether. So now, with that rule GONE altogether, all three remaining candidates, AND everybody else is eligible to be nominated, including those who have “dropped out,” leaving things open for them to nominate ANYBODY they so desired. They are OBVIOUSLY “moving the goalposts” to make sure THEY get to nominate the person THEY want. Not the person we have demonstrated WE want. This is scummy, dirty politics at its worst. And will most likely result in yet another socialist Democrat in the White House. (Washington Examiner)
