One reason is because once Trump becomes the official candidate he gets a whole lot more SS protection.
I am glad they did it.
My guess is that since there is no longer a contest for the nomination, getting Trump nominated first is a way to shut down even nominal opposition that could provide the basis for negative media coverage. That in turn gives several days to showcase the Trump and GOP agenda in detail.
I like Rockingham’s comment #6. Another possibility is this time the RNC has more leaders coming from Trump. And with all the media hype of RNC delegates switching votes away from “convict Trump” and such, it might have been seen as best to nip that in the bud and make the nomination official as soon as the convention started.
Trump’s message to the Deep State. JD Vance is now locked in as the VP candidate. Another assassination attempt on Trump is only going to result in Vance. The RINO’s will not be able to parachute Deep State loving RINO Nikki Haley in Trump’s place like they were planning.
Bachman Turner Overdrive wrote a song about it.
Someone has it in for you...😎
Lower the stress level for everyone and gain the SS protection afforded to both Pres and VP families.
Easy: Trump wanted to get the political line of succession in place to deter any more assassination attempts.
The goal was to kill Trump, have chaos at the RNC convention, and slide Nick Knack Paddywhack Give a Uke a Bomb in as the candidate.
You didn’t get the memo? Monday has suffered from a bad reputation and has decided to identify as Wednesday.
