"I see there is some fake
news being spread about changes to @CAGOP bylaws. The date of CA’s primary has changed to Super Tuesday, so our delegate apportionment method must also change to a proportional method, or we lose convention delegates. Our primary used to be later, allowing for a different, winner-take-all system. The Democrat governor changed the primary date, not the CAGOP. Personally, I preferred the winner take all system used for our last real convention in 2016, but RNC rules compel a different rule for earlier primaries.
This would be easy to verify by anybody who understands the system, has gone to a convention, and comprehends how to read rules. As there is a looming, RNC deadline to pass qualifying rules, we are making a change whose final wording remains to be determined by our Rules Committee and by vote of our Executive Committee, later this month.
Also, there is no plan for California Republicans to endorse in the presidential primary, and I would vigorously oppose such a plan. Republican voters must decide.
In this matter, I answer to California Republican voters, and nobody else. The fact that someone is trying to clout-chase and create drama by spreading misinformation about legally necessary rules changes, is unfortunate but predictable.
Why does when the primary occurs matter for the method of counting delegates? And why cant they just change that bylaw at the same time they change the date if thats the case?

I'm just putting up the response
Haha yeah i get it. I was genuinely curious if anyone knew more details. Seems like a cover story to me but i could be convinced otherwise
They need a lot more than part of California to beat Trump
Why would Trump endorse KM if he's going to try to pull this against him?
This woman is a pit bull. Love her or hate her
Nothing will stop what's coming. The military is the only way.
I'm so tired of the shenanigans, on both sides.
The shenanigans are are just getting started. Get your power drink out. Prepare for the best.
