“If the nomination process has devolved to the candidates and fundraising has devolved to PACs, what role does the RNC have? I guess they still hold the Republican Convention, but what’s to stop the candidates from taking that over, too, and run it over Facebook, per Ben Carson’s suggestion?”

Laws regulate how the election process works, including how candidates sign up to run for election, how elections are held and how the national convention elects the final candidate. The candidates cannot take over elections or conventions.

Debates are NOT regulated by law; they are put on by the national party making contracts with those who want to put on a debate. This part is being complained about by the candidates.

Does any of us think this would be going on if not for Trump? Trump is needed by this country to get it back on track. We need jobs and business back in USA and he can do that. If all of these candidates work together we can get back R party and R country. Trump knows how to make deal and get job done…….he has proved it over and over.

Slight clarification/correction: the party, not laws, make up the rules for the nomination process. The party governs who gets its nomination. It is not governed by laws.
