GOP official: The party chooses the nominee, not the voters
By Harper Neidig
A member of the Republican National Committee's Rules Committee said Wednesday that the party will decide who the GOP nominee will be, not the voters.
"The media has created the perception that the voters will decide the nomination," Curly Haugland said in an interview with CNBC. "That's the conflict here."
"The political parties choose their nominees, not the general public, contrary to popular belief," he added.
Haugland was then asked what the point of holding primaries is if the party can disregard the will of the voters.
"That's a very good question," he responded.
