Chaos in the Utah GOP! Hardliners adopt rule change that could kick Mitt Romney out of the party

You may have thought the internal workings of the Utah Republican Party were really screwed up before.

But now get this: If former U.S. GOP presidential nominee Mitt Romney continues gathering signatures as part of his U.S. Senate run this year, he may well be kicked out of the Utah Republican Party via a bylaw change adopted Saturday over the objections of party chairman Rob Anderson.

And that’s not all.

After a “special” meeting of the party’s Central Committee Saturday, Rob Anderson says CC members new bylaw bifurcates the allowed candidate-to-ballot routes, one set of rules for U.S. House districts 1st and 2nd, and another set of rules for House districts 3rd and 4th.

Goes for the 2nd amendment as well. See how easy it can be, granted this a lesser example.

A greater is how fascist Walker changed the rules and how Trump is trying to change the rules...if not for the Courts.
