Murray Rothbard used to tell the story of the trouble even the Communist Party had in sending its agents into, say, the plumbers union. They almost invariably became plumbers rather than Communists. And these were secret agents in a left-wing organization. It takes steel-hardened cadre to enter an established group openly, with a revolutionary agenda, and face the inevitable ostracism, rancor, and ridicule. It’s even worse when that organization is an arm of the State, and therefore dedicated to gaining and keeping power and pelf. So perhaps it was inevitable that Ron’s Nevada delegates would go along to get along, and then bask in the praise of the MSM.
