“Is there a system by which each hopeful gets to vote on the speaking panel? Nothing less than this makes sense. Trump would be boasting of a power he doesn’t even HAVE.”
I’m sure there is a system of sorts. If anyone has veto power over who speaks at the convention it would be Trump.
Without a context, it is to wonder what the “Sam Hill” is going on. Trump appears to have the delegate votes going in. However don’t they actually have to cast those votes?
