Wouldn’t they have to change rule that the nominee must have win 8 states?

Republican media shills last night:

That Rule 40 condition only applies on the first ballot.

If Trump doesn't win on the first ballot, by having a majority of delegates, then it becomes open, the delegates are freed to vote for whoever they want, and ANYBODY can be nominated.

This is why Trump needs a super-majority of delegates, to prevent dirty tricks on the first ballot (like some of his delegates being bribed to not show up).
