Personally, I don’t worry about a lot about a change in the rules, as the LEGAL RAMIFICATIONS are tremendous for those that are part of it...in other words, I think one can reasonably assume that Trump will SUE THE DAYLIGHTS out of anyone involved in a rules change that denies him the nomination.
Of course they’re welcome to try, but Trump is worth $10 BILLION and so those swindlers better have some REALLY DEEP POCKETS as they’ll have to go against his legal team.
(at least that’s my take)
And he NEVER gives up when he believes he’s in the right.
He can sue, but the lawsuit won't go anywhere.
Legally, a political party has the right to make its own rules. Even if Rule 40(b) were a permanent rule, the delegates at the Convention would have the right to change it. Conversely, if the RNC removes Rule 40(b) before the Convention, the delegates at the Convention could reinstate it.
My understanding is that courts have no jurisdiction over political parties and their rules.
Problem is if you’re in business you have to pay the crooks in Congress off or they don’t pick up the phone when someone else paid them to change a regulation that will put you out of work.
People overseas have to pay off the crooks in Congress too... I can assure you they don’t give a damn about the ‘speeches’...
Trump should have ran 3rd party if he didn’t want to deal with Republican rules.
