OK... maybe that's so. But, how come we here talk of Biden being injected on the Dem side if Hillary gets indicted? Haven't their deadlines passed as well?
In other words, if we get to the GOP convention and the first vote isn't conclusive (i.e., Trump has more than 1237 delegates), can't anyone's name be placed in nomination?
“can’t anyone’s name be placed in nomination?”
That’s a good question, and I don’t know the answer. I think you’re right, after the first ballot, the GOP makes the rules, and if it suits them, there are no rules. They can’t win, though. Even if they put a Romney, Rubio, or even Cruz in there, Trump will go 3rd party. It’s possible, but unlikely, Trump could win it all as a 3rd party candidate. There’s no way the GOP candidate will win with both Trump and Hillary against them.
Well I thought the discussion was referring to him jumping in the race.
i don’t think deadlines for general elections have passed. if it is a brokered convention?
