How queer to dismiss so easily a group that established a set of rules and all (candidates) were invited to participate on a fair playing field.  Then to infer its legitimacy because (a CLAIM that) some tea folk weren't allowed in the process?

There were ways for independents to be a part of it.

But anyhow, it seems strange that Its all OK to go forward with the Republican party and THEIR rules are acceptable.

I  like all activity which drives the discussion.  Republican rules, party and all that comes with it, and the effort of Gamrat and crew to energize conservatives EVEN IF it was a way to chase off Hoekstra (though it was not in my view) to secure a conservative for the fight against Stabby McIrresponsible.

I still cannot relate to those who whine about Mi4CS.  Don't get you.  Not a bit.  It was a way for the non top tier to get a few days in the sun and move the discussion.  And because of a couple crybabies who didn't care much for they way it was organized made it a total big deal, there are people who call it illegitimate.  

What is illegitimate about someone trying to advance conservatism in their own way at great cost of money and health to themselves?

Don't like it?  Do it yourself in another.

When its said they don't speak for all tea folk, well duh.  But the ones who participated, and the ones who are carrying the assistance to the candidate who won the vote of those who participated have little problem with it.
