If no presidential candidate wins a majority of delegates and
Republicans face a contested convention this summer, a small group of
party insiders will have huge sway over who wins — and how to resolve a
rift that could fracture the Republican Party.
After all the campaigning, debates and primaries, the GOP's presidential nomination could hinge on what these insiders decide.
The RNC Rules Committee decides party
regulations and writes the first draft of convention rules, which are
finalized by a convention rules committee and submitted to a floor vote.
Those rules are crucial. They decide which
candidates are on the ballot: They could pass a rule allowing only
Donald Trump to run in Cleveland, or a rule enabling new candidates to
challenge him. They can decide how delegates vote — and when delegates
can switch teams to support rival candidates. These are the kind of
restrictions that could make the difference between a coronation or
chaos in Cleveland.
