But wait. "Restructuring debt" is exactly what Trump has done, at least 4 times. At least that's what he told us, instead of talking about the reality of stiffing creditors.

Do you think Trump would be against this even though he's done the same thing?

I got home from the office really late last night and was flipping channels just unwinding, and I saw Hunt for Red October.  I stayed up until after midnight just to get to your signature line.  😄

Exactly.   It's disturbing that so many people have this boogy man fear of Pribus or "the establishment" as if they have control over the grown men and women from the 56 states and territories who are likely paying their own way to Cleveland, only to be denied a voice in the nomination because they believe that a single person who is employed by the GOP can make whatever rules he wants.

Here is the source of my belief stated earlier:

I don't see anything in the article that changes my understanding of the process.

There are no rules until the weekend prior to convention.  The 8 state rule is not going to be in effect this year unless reinstated.

Nope.  That's not at all accurate.

These are the actual rules:

Rule No. 42, Temporary Rules, says:  "upon adoption of the report of the Convention Committee on Rules and Order of Business, Rule Nos. 26-42 [which constitute the Proceedings of National Convention] shall constitute the Standing Rules for this convention and the temporary rules for the next convention."

The rules do NOT terminate, but they can be changed or amended, as they always are, before the convention.

The argument of the progressive, Marxist left, with regards to the Oregon Bakery and Bruce Springsteen is typical of progressives everywhere. In their minds the only thing that matters is political correctness, which is communism, simply put. When you comparisons that are uncomfortable the progressive Marxist always pretends not to understand to avoid contemplating the consequences of their emotional blathering.
To take the example that we are living out and make it simple, try this...
A Baptist minister is asked to perform a satanic ritual.
He or she refuses based on religious grounds.
The state of Oregon STEALS every cent the Minister has and threatens jail time, but only because they are the state and do whatever they like these days.
The progressives would argue that this is a ridiculous example because it challenges their orthodoxy with facts that are uncomfortable, and refuse to seriously examine the supposition.
Evil always preachers tolerance until they achieve dominance, then silence ll dissent at the end of a gun.
Evil is in full attack mode right now.

The hypocrisy of the left and it's evil attacks against Christianity are better demonstrated with an even simpler example.

Steven Crowder went into Muslim bakeries in Michigan asking them to make a wedding cake for a gay wedding. They all refused.

Have you heard any members of the LGBT community threatening to burn them down, or the media standing outside of those bakeries?  No.

Ummm... it has caused water pollution an it does cause earthquakes. These are facts. The water contamination can be controlled and the earthquakes are minor and of no consequence. The problem is, there is a right way to frack and there are horrible ways to frack. Unfortunately, without proper regulation and monitoring, the free market will select the horrible way to frack and water supplies will be ruined.

The best solution of course is not an outright ban on fracking, but rather close monitoring and real liabilities for those that engage in it. However in the whipped up hysteria of the sky is literally falling and killing us climate change environment, all things carbon is bad, so the ban is super duper good. Realistically since nobody really wants the pain of life without carbon, the US would like to do what it has historically done for decades and just export it's pollution to lesser countries.

Prove it. I have yet to see a credible article about water pollution from fracking, though there is plenty from the panty wetters who have an axe to grind.

Fracking happens much, much deeper than any ground water or acquifer.

As for earthquakes, I don't think so. It does cause tremors, but I've heard that those are actually beneficial as they relieve pressure. However, I've just told you my sum knowledge of earthquakes.
