Donald Trump is your Republican nominee for president and he will almost certainly be the Republican nominee for president on Nov. 8. There is a rule, Rule 9, which spells out how a nominee can be replaced. “There have only been two instances in which the convention allowed — under rule — rules changes outside the convention,” he wrote. As with an eBay auction, the moment to keep Trump from being the nominee was right before you clicked “Buy It Now.” It’s possible that the party could amend the rule, Putnam notes.
