President Donald Trump’s political advisers have concluded a monthslong effort to tighten the rules for choosing delegates to the Republican National Convention, all but ensuring there are no dissenting speeches at the gathering of party officials in Charlotte, North Carolina, next year.
The new delegate guidelines are the culmination of a 10-month effort by Trump advisers to tighten the president’s grip on the Republican Party before the general election. It means that even if the three candidates challenging Trump in the Republican primary gain vote shares, they almost certainly won’t translate into speeches or jeers from supporters of these candidates when the convention is taking place.
Since the beginning of the year, Trump’s advisers have placed a premium on avoiding intraparty conflicts that have plagued previous Republican incumbents and challengers alike. Story continuesBill Stepien, a senior political adviser to the president, Clark and other campaign officials have spent most of this year working with state Republican officials either to change rules or to push for party chairs who are favorable to Mr. Trump.
Republicans are trying to avoid the conflicts that arose at conventions such as the one in 1992, when Patrick J. Buchanan challenged the incumbent Republican president, George Bush, for the nomination. Buchanan didn’t gather significant support in most of the primaries. But he rolled into the party’s convention at the Astrodome in Houston with enough support to draw cheers during a thunderous speech about the “culture war” being waged for the soul of the nation.
