“All four early appointees of the rules committee for this year’s Republican convention told Politico they’re prepared to weaken or scrap a rule that could limit the convention’s alternatives to Donald Trump.”
“The four took issue with a rule, originally imposed by Mitt Romney forces in 2012 to keep rival Ron Paul off the convention stage, requiring a candidate to win a majority of delegates in eight states to be eligible for the party’s nomination — a threshold only Trump has exceeded so far. If preserved, the rule could block John Kasich or Ted Cruz from competing with Trump at the convention, set for July in Cleveland.”
