RNC forgets to send buses to pick up Florida delegation
If Florida Republicans already didn't feel left out in their party's convention, they just might right about now.
Excited to board the buses at noon that would haul them 30 miles to the RNC, they were told that the buses were late.
The RNC forgot to send them. Now they would have to wait. When the replacement buses would come was not announced.
"Well, that sucks," said Hillsborough County GOP chair Art Wood, wiping sweat from his brow. It was 90 degrees out. "I guess it won't be the first glitch."

Surely these people are not in the Real GOP.
The Kochs are gonna have a good laugh at their expense.

RPOF was punished by having half their delegates stripped, and were assigned the furthest hotel.

Let them pull their own bootstraps and drive up/down to Tampa.

(51,170 posts)6. You got that right.
We had our state convention for the first time in our city and we didn't have that as an issue. Everyone was responsible for finding their own way to their caucus rooms. The state just provided transportation to the city for those that were from the southern part of the state. But once they were at the convention they were responsible for everything else on their own.
It does look like the Republicans want everything done for them.
