GOP Frolics

++In the court on St.Croix, the delegates of the U.S. Virgin Islands have filed suit against the GOP party chairmen because he will not certify the winners of its caucus. The chairman claims this is a frivolous lawsuit and that only the GOP has the right to determine its delegates.

++Donald Trump has thrown in the towel on the Wyoming caucus as Ted Cruz has outmaneuvered him.

++The Indiana GOP has chosen its delegates even though the primary isn't until next month.

++Members of the RNC has now debating massive changes in the rule book, including the use of Roberts' Rules of Order. The new proposals would in effect provide more powers to individual delegates and make it harder for state delegations to maintain control of their groups. It is not clear whether this is paving the way to a brokered convention.

++An RNC official said that there would be riots if Trump wins and if Trump loses. Sarah Palin, a Trump surrogate, agreed that there would be riots if Trump or Cruz were not nominated. The Donald himself told Chris Cuomo that he expected "very bad things to happen at the convention" and did not rule out the possibility of riots.
