Somebody on the convention floor is going to put out a call for Sen. Warren. These people are bonkers.

Remember how all during the primary season, one candidate or another has been talking about the system being rigged? Mostly it was sore loser talk from candidates who hadn't polled as many votes as other candidates, and on that arbitrary basis alone, the candidate with the most votes was declared the winner.

Now on this, the first day of the Republican National Convention, the chairman has been playing little games with recognizing and then not recognizing calls for floor votes and the like. The delegations that want floor votes to happen have been frustrated and outmaneuvered. The original post is conflating the allegations of a rigged system during the campaign season with the rather obvious (but perfectly within the rules) rigging being indulged by the convention chairman.

See?
