How does the primary process change after this year?

[Mr. Morden]

Well, it depends on which option the powers that be conclude is worse: having a Donald Trump-like candidate win the nomination or having a contested convention?  Depending on which of those is considered to be worse, you could go in one of two completely opposite directions: Switching to a PR-like system like the Dems have increases the chances of a contested convention, but at least it prevents a Trump-like candidate from getting a majority of delegates on the back of weak plurality wins in key states.  OTOH, if you want to avoid a contested convention at all costs, then you switch to more WTA contests.

Either way, one area that will be looked at is the question of who is eligible to become a delegate.  If you do have a contested convention, then you want to have procedures in place that allow the convention to come to some kind of quick resolution, and not have blood on the convention floor.  Maybe you even want to set up a process that allows the delegates to deliberate in some organized way immediately after the last primary and well before the convention starts, so you don't have uncertainty going into the convention.
