Bannon not touching this yet this morning.
Interesting. He obviously does not want to burn bridges with Mike Davis.
This is how I see it went down. Harmeet is working with GOP establishment types:
Anyone that follows GOP politics knows Henry Barbour is as establishmentarian in the GOP as it gets. Henry Barbour is IN IT FOR THE MONEY. If Harmeet is seeking advice from the Henry Barbour types she is getting GOPe advice.
IDK if Harmeet's intents are genuine or not yet. Maybe she was going along to get along and never thought someone like LL would throw sunshine on GOPe maneuvering in the CAGOP on such a parliamentarian issue that never gets public scrutiny.
Then Mike's initial reaction is to defend Harmeet and he digs deeper painting himself further into a corer.
Bannon will probably let this issue go with MD.
It will be interesting on July 29th. I bet LL shows up at the CAGOP headquarters when the CAGOP party leadership takes a vote to confirm the rules going forward. Need to keep the sunlight on CAGOP leadership until then.
Bannon can avoid the issue with Mike Davis defending Harmeet. That is forgivable. However Bannon needs to focus light on the CAGOP leadership until the 29th.

Wouldn’t a proportional allocation of delegates be more aligned with representing the people’s interests than having someone with a plurality taking all of the delegates?
I don't like the winner-take-all approach in early primary states. Or, at the very least, the winner-take-all should only kick in if the candidate achieves a win with over 50% of the vote. Or if they win the primary by say 20% or more.
But it's insane that a candidate could win all the delegates with a 35% vote margin.

Okay but will that actually mean that they won’t go to proportional?
Vote on the 29th of July. We don't know yet.

I saw nothing that indicated that.
Harmeet has since backed off of proportional. We'll see if it sticks.
On a side note there is so much irony within the RNC with Trump leading in the polls. The Trump haters within the GOP are acting like Ron Paul supporters in 2008 and 2012 trying to position delegate allocation for the RNC convention in an attempt to get it brokered.

It's my understanding currently in CA if you receive 50% of the vote you get winner take all. Below 50% then it goes proportional.
The rules vary by state. CA is receiving a lot of attention because it is the state with the most delegates.

LL may be perceived as a MTG like loon because she is Roger's Stone's relative but she exposed them. Like it, or not.

That was obvious with the amount of votes they whipped for Rona even after all the corrupt spending that was uncovered.
The RNC is nothing more than another money laundering organization.

and just like that...
California was only one state that was organizing their rules to participate in the block Trump effort.
Keep watching…

There is a possibility that people will begin to understand that all of the GOP candidates are not trying to win the 2024 nomination; rather they are in the race as part of the Big Club plan to gain collections of individual delegates that can be reassembled into one larger delegate bloc at the RNC convention.
