    If Trump got majority of delegates but RNC tried to take nomination away from him, would that be legitimate?

        @HeerJeet No. I'd also probably feel better about it if it wasn't so nakedly cynical.

        @HeerJeet it's legit. There's nothing democratic about the primaries

        @HeerJeet it might or might not be the right thing to do, but it wouldn't be legitimate

        @HeerJeet "legitimate"? Yes. Democratic? No. But are American political parties democratic?

        @HeerJeet from a Canadian perspective, however the party decides is legit yeah? Wonder if any will go to the old Reform Party model.

        @HeerJeet political parties are clubs. If they opt to change the rules it could impact election but legitimacy doesn't matter.
