This is very disturbing for me. Dustin Burrows has betrayed the Republican Party and all Republican voters in a way I've never seen before. First, he literally stole the speaker election from the Republican caucus, and then shortly after, he basically slapped Republican representatives in the face with the sham process to ram the Rules package through without discussion or debate. He told one representative that I know of that if he wanted a seat at the table, he wold have to sit down, be quiet, and do what he was told. Fortunately that representative said no thank you. I'm not ready to just let bygones be bygones. Unless Mr. Burrows is ready to apologize and ask forgiveness, (which he won't), I will not listen to what he has to say at convention. He can't just buy back favor with a large donation. And - yes - I'm aware that under his tenure, 43 RPT priority bills passed. That's great. But has anyone counted how many were left on the table? Pretty sure it's more than 43!
