Republican GridIron Contest at Mizzou—Where the Republic Goes to Die
Missouri Republican State Committee turned into another denial of Grassroots Republicans
Editor’s Note: Where there are cuts, it’s because my arms grew tired or I moved to a better vantage point in the room. There are no cuts and pastes to content that last more than mere seconds. There is no attempt to hide evidence of the establishment’s behavior.

Nick Meyers attempted to hang a Trump sign at the Podium.
Nick Meyer started the Meeting by making a reference to Hamas protestors and saying anyone disrupting the meeting will be removed. It was a thinly veiled threat against the Grassroots. He hated they were there.
There was a tribute to Natalie and David Lloyd, Rep. Ben Baker’s daughter and son-in-law. They used the Trump phone call to Ben Baker’s FB post.
Is Rep. Baker using this post about Trump’s phone call to launch his bid for Missouri Senate?
The credentialing went really smooth. Suprisingly.
There was a conversation about Trey’s grandfather passing away and that was the reason credentialling stalled at the State Convention. Nick made sure everyone knew that was the only reason.
Mr. Meyer allowed a discussion and vote on the resolutions from the State Convention to be included in the Platform.
The contentious and heated arguments between the delegates and the possibly inappropriate behavior of the parliamentarian. Shouldn’t the parliamentarian be a neutral party?
Rep. Dan Stacy tries a “friendly” amendment. It’s not really one, but another attempt by him to use parliamentarian language to change the meaning of the resolutions. He’s in his last term, but his buddy Rep. Ben Baker fears accountability as a possible future Senator. Jason Soseman rejected the Friendly Amendment.
More discussion. And more chiding of the Grassroots for Free Speech.
The Parliamentarian struggling to understand the rules again.
More struggling.
He’s only concerned about “moving on.” Listen to his tone. He has no patience for the Grassroots delegates.
Mr. Meyer again chiding the “gallery,” before providing the ballot count. The final vote against the platform 44-18. The did a secret ballot so the Establishment members could hide. Nick Meyer wouldn’t want them to admit they support the Establishment or that they aren’t really there to protect the people from a corrupt governing body. Mr. Meyer, “The Motion Fails. We still have the 2020 platform.” Which is not an honest statement since it’s mostly the 2016 platform with very minor changes because the 2020 Convention was canceled because of Covid.

They want you to unite behind “any R will do” as long as we keep our Supermajority of Super “wink-wink” conservative candidates. They were trying to convince people Senators like Caleb Rowden were preferable to Democrats.
Here is how Trump wins in November: plastic yard signs. Don’t worry. Eventually, they will order 4x8s, too. Because they weren’t sure Trump would beat Haley until at least this week.
