Ron DeSantis or my second choice Nikki Haley, become the Republican nominee instead of Donald Trump, especially when the media's too early to be accurate polls...coupled with Trump himself...keep pushing the rhetoric that he, Trump, is already the nominee? For that to happen we must look at and then redefine the candidate nomination process itself. And while we know that during the months leading up to the primaries all candidates rightfully do “battle it out” in early voting states like Iowa and New Hampshire, with usually only one candidate becoming the defacto front runner heading into “Super Tuesday,” the day when a dozen or more states hold their primaries. And it's here where delegates to the actual nomination convention are chosen, state by state, with each candidate's delegates presumably (but not always) supporting their respective candidate at said convention.

But, as stated, that does not always happen, and hopefully will not happen this summer. And with primary rules not having been laid out in the Constitution...only general election rules regarding the Electoral College are...leads to the fact that any and all rules regarding the nomination process are set according to both state law and party rules...rules that can and many times are “altered and changed” at convention.
