Amanda Carpenter Calls on RNC to Change Rules, Not Nominate Trump
Amanda Carpenter, the former director of communications for Ted Cruz and current CNN contributor, is calling on the Republican Party to change its rules so as to prevent Donald Trump from becoming the nominee. She appeared today on CNN's "Newsroom":
"There’s a reason we have delegates. It’s to prevent a disaster. And if people really believe that Donald Trump is going to be a disaster for the party, if they cannot stand by his comments, if they cannot support him, if they do not think that he supports our values, then you have to use the process set in place and not nominate him at the convention. I think we need to start talking to delegates, we need to say what are you going to do? It’s very simple, they don’t have to do this. They cannot show up, they can rewrite the rules. Because, if we’re really going to go down this road and saying he’s bad for the party, he’s saying racist things, then we shouldn’t nominate him. End of story.”
