Yep. According to this from Larry Sabato, there are only a few states left. Most have passed the filing deadline.
If Romney's move is not BS, it should be BS.
Possible, but not likely, conclusion: Killary gets indicted and drops out, the Republican convention is contested and Romney becomes the candidate. The election is between Sanders and Romney. Actually, that's a joke because the RATS would come up with someone they feel is more electable than Sanders. Can you spell Biden?
Stone is saying the GOPe will use Republican National Committee Rule No. 40(b) changed after the 2012 convention to read:
“Each candidate for nomination for President of the United States and Vice President of the United States shall demonstrate the support of a plurality majority of the delegates from each of five (5) Eight/8 or more states, severally, prior to the presentation of the name of that candidate for nomination. "
The rule was changed to require a candidate to have a majority (more than 50 percent) of delegate votes in at least eight states as a prerequisite to nomination. The rule cannot be changed again until the delegates arrive at the convention this summer and the Rules Committee convenes to establish the new rules of the convention.
Further the GOPe will try to "unbind" the delegates from Trumps primary wins.
how can filings be passed when we don’t even have a candidate yet. for the general. primary ok. if a brokered election on both sides occur how does that make the candidates ineligible if the filings are past. i think i am missing something.
