Hardball politics is being played behind the scenes in Nevada, and many believe the state Republicans' intraparty drama is giving Trump an advantage.
In this June 23, 2018, file photo, President Donald Trump, left, is greeted by Nevada State GOP Chairman Michael McDonald as he arrives at the podium to speak during the Nevada Republican Party Convention at the Suncoast Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas.
Sound confusing? This convoluted process could have wide-reaching impacts on how presidential nominees are selected. "What we're worried about is the continued gaming of this whole arrangement by McDonald and the Nevada GOP to seek advantage for Trump," said Cuccinelli, who himself has a history of allegedly helping to orchestrate Ted Cruz's 2016 effort to leverage the delegate system and who later served in the Trump administration.
DeGraffenreid said the proposal to disqualify candidates who participate in the primary from winning delegates in the state is "an effort to avoid voter confusion," and further discourage the GOP field from participating in the primaries. But other Republicans across the state say they are less convinced that there was not some level of coordination between the Nevada GOP and the Trump campaign.
Delegates are doled out to candidates through a variety of methods after each state votes in primaries or through caucuses. The candidate with the most delegates becomes the party nominee. For "early primary" states, the party requires the proportional allocation of delegates– California would be considered an early state as their primary date has been moved up to Super Tuesday on March 5.
