- 04:05:55 Retweeted @HeerJeet 04:01:01 The endgame is becoming more visible: after Trump loses or drops out, will blame GOP elite for sabotaging. Then off to Trump TV.

- 18:53:17 .@cspan broadcasting a Periscope from the floor of the House instead of official cameras is bizarre. (GOP turned off cams on Dem protest.)

- 19:24:55 .@FHQ Question: Could Trump be denied under current rules (no changes) simply by enough dels choosing not to show up 4 the roll call vote? in reply to FHQ
- 20:33:36 Retweeted @FHQ 20:19:01 There are at least 3 possibilities. 1) Easiest answer. They just go to the alternates and move on with business. @abulsme 1/ in reply to abulsme
- 20:33:39 Retweeted @FHQ 20:21:20 2) Less likely. Rules give deference to delegation chairs from each state. They're the ones tallying within states. @abulsme 2/ in reply to FHQ
- 20:33:43 Retweeted @FHQ 20:22:45 Those delegation chairs could count votes of those not there (in the event no alternate fills the slot). Not prohibited. @abulsme 3/ in reply to FHQ
- 20:33:47 Retweeted @FHQ 20:24:02 3) Rule 37 also gives the RNC the power to come up w/an alternate means of determining the nominee if a roll call can't happen. @abulsme 4/ in reply to FHQ
- 20:33:51 Retweeted @FHQ 20:25:10 Intent of that is natural or other disaster, though, not mass walk outs. But it is expansive enough to cover that too. @abulsme 5/ in reply to FHQ
- 20:33:55 Retweeted @FHQ 20:26:14 Through #3, the RNC could fall back on #2 as an option if the chose. Importantly, RNC has the power there. @abulsme 6/ in reply to FHQ
- 20:34:01 Retweeted @FHQ 20:27:18 Quickest way to circumnavigate that issue is for the RNC to just make it a vote of the delegates in the room. @abulsme 7/ in reply to FHQ
- 20:34:05 Retweeted @FHQ 20:28:02 Defaulting to that sort of option would not be without controversy. Of course, nor would not showing up as a delegate. @abulsme 8/8 in reply to FHQ
- 20:34:30 .@FHQ Thank you very much for the comprehensive answer! in reply to FHQ
