There is a must win eight state rule since 2012.

So unless Rubio or Cruz can win eight, neither has a chance to win a brokered convention.

You are right; I think it's Rule 40 or a part of it (I'm looking things up now).

But when the 2 delegates from each state meet before the convention in Cleveland, it sounds like they can impose or relax any rules they want. Even if that isn't totally true, they do have leeway to set some rules.

I guess I'll cross that bridge when we get there; I'm listening to the debate.

Trump just said he's under audit and is not free to release the presumed most recent return but he will as soon as he is free to do so. He said it's "routine" and he gets audited [every] year?
