The GOP changed the rules to protect Trump, and they made it nearly impossible to replace him as the nominee.

I'd rather it be Trump. Losing to Kamala Harris would probably be the biggest humiliation of his entire life.

4. If so, they will be subject to the same laws some Democrats were freaking out about

previously as to Biden, and now as to Harris.

For the Republicans, some may even have passed, since some are expressly tied to the ending of the nominating convention (which has happened for Republicans, but not yet for Democrats). So in those states in which the Republican's deadline has passed, they will additionally be subject to whatever restrictions there are on the party subsequently changing its nominee.

And, just like Democrats - Republicans are free to choose their candidate by whatever means comply with their nominating rules.

The GOP is like a reality TV show. The ones that are the most ignorant, loud, and obnoxious are the breakout stars.

late in his first term. They worshiped him. There is practically nothing that would cost trump support among the faithful.
