desantis let it slip in one of his interviews...
he expects the party (the rnc) to take the nomination away from Trump, or keep him off the ballot.
Then the nominee position would be chosen by the rnc and likely be the 2nd place person.
You have to wonder what the backroom deals are that have been done to set this up, if desantis is already talking about it.
If the RNC screws Trump, it’s the end of the RNC and any chance of a national republican win in the future. A new party will form and the GOP will go the way of the Whigs.
I kind of figured they were all planning of President Trump being removed from the race. With the exception of Vivek. I have decided in my mind, with no evidence whatsoever, that he’s somehow working on Team Trump. lol time will tell.
I don’t know the RNC rules. But it would seem to me that if the RNC somehow removed Trump from consideration, Trump’s delegates would become free agents. It’s the delegates who decide (by vote) who the nominee is. Right?
I can’t image those Trump delegates would default to DeSantis. Instead, I’d think they’d vote for some MAGA outsider.
