“Hostile takeover”: Ron Paul’s fans react

“Hostile takeover”: Ron Paul’s fans react

TAMPA — Chaos and turmoil may have befallen the Ron Paul delegation — members of which frantically scrambled about the Tampa convention floor Tuesday to exert their influence — but much of the party establishment seemed unmoved by their plight. For example: I spotted Sen. John Thune of South Dakota striding around the exterior ring of the building, and asked if he felt the Paul People’s grievances were legitimate. “Well, perhaps in their minds,” the senator replied. “I think that there’s a process, everyone followed it. Everyone did it according to the rules.”
Virtually every Paul supporter I have encountered thus far would stridently disagree with Thune’s assessment. Generally, they range from somewhere between perturbed to violently apoplectic over GOP insiders’ skulduggery.
