Then, if that is the case, a state GOP can just adopt a rule that Trump cannot be on the ballot...no reason needed.
Yup!
It would be stupid, but they could.
Understand, I am of a mind that believes that the RNC does not want Trump to lead the ticket in Nov. ‘24. The fact that everyone realizes that the ‘20 election was stolen makes it incumbent upon the GOP to aoid what FReeper x projects in his #67.
The RNC is in a tough spot. They don’t want Trump to lead the national ticket and they can’t afford to have Trump come into the Convention leading.
Their best bet is to head him off at the pass...the primaries...by whatever means necessary.
Only time will tell exactly HOW they manage to de-fang DJT.
