The Republican Party released a brokered convention video today with Sean Cairncross, RNC Chief Operating Officer.
Cairncross tries to persuade viewers that the convention rules need to change this year and that they necessarily change from convention to convention.
But maybe you still don’t understand why’s all this necessary? Why can’t the rules stay the same for each convention? Listen, if you were a delegate you wouldn’t want to be governed by the rules of past conventions. There’s no reason that the rules that governed Romney’s delegates should be used to govern you. After all, this is a new convention for new candidates.

THERE’S A REASON WHY THEY WANT TO CHANGE THE RULES—
The current RNC rules state that the nominee must have won at least 8 states to be considered a candidate at the convention. Republican insiders obviously want to scrap that rule before the convention so they can nominate their preferred politician.
They admit to it in today’s video.
