      Nothing, I think they will do it.

      But the GOP likes to pretend it is about states rights and Neil Gorsuch ostensibly has a lower court ruling related to this that would seem to favour blocking Trump. I have read the opinion And I didn’t think it applied, but I’m an idiot on my couch with no legal training.

      I’m not sure it matters yet. Are the parties even required to have primaries? What keeps them from just choosing at the convention?

        No.

        The people.

        Both parties used to have a much more closed process that didn’t announce a winner until their convention. The public primaries weren’t anything more than a preference poll. Voters punished them both for it so severely that they changed.
