My understanding was this was first ballot only though? - ty97 Mar 7, 11:04 3
- Yeah, I couldn't figure out that part either. I clicked on the rules and that's the page number. Shouldn't be there. -- nm* - spamlet Mar 7, 11:06 2
  - When I first heard about this, I actually read it to mean you needed at least 50% support of voters in the state but guessing that is wrong. - ty97 Mar 7, 11:08 1
    - Here's RCP on Rule 40 in December (which was a different world) -- (link) - ty97 Mar 7, 11:10
The rules can be changed at any time, correct? -- nm - mara Mar 7, 10:58 5
- Sure if they want lawsuits galore. -- nm - spamlet Mar 7, 11:00 4
  - They'll take lawsuits and a tolerable candidate over decorum and Trump any day. -- nm - David Mar 7, 11:10 2
    - But then they openly antagonize Trump supporters. - Reagen Mar 7, 11:19 1
      - I wonder if the establishment believes all the extreme right wingers when they say they're not Republicans. -- nm - David Mar 7, 11:31
