Awful, completely awful.
Rand's speech was the only one I could stomach the whole way through, and that was more out of my respect for him, versus the quality of the speech.
But, we're all ignoring the most important point, here: the rule changes that occurred. Now, in future primaries, if the state parties don't like who's won the delegation, they can simply replace the delegates. Also, unbound delegates are no longer allowed, they must be bound to a candidate.
These rules were purely put in place in response to the Paul campaign. Clearly, the GOP would rather die than see libertarian values put in place. If these rules were in place in the past, it's reasonable to claim that there never would have been a President Reagan (while I don't care much for Reagan, myself, he's the favourite of most Republican moderates and conservatives).
And what's really disgusting is the manner in which these rules were put in place. There wasn't even a legitimate vote, the results were pre-scripted. That alone proves what a complete and utter farce this whole primary has been.
Mark my words, the GOP will be dead by the end of the decade. This convention put the last nails in the coffin. Whether the party will be replaced by a Conservative or Libertarian alternative, is yet to be seen.
