I'm not sure I've seen this addressed anywhere.
Were certain state primaries hacked in order for trump to become the nominee? If this happened, it seems like the other Republican candidates would be disgruntled to say the least. Are Republicans such slaves to the party that they would not investigate their own primaries for fear of finding out that trump became the candidate in an illegitimate manner, and thus "won" the presidency illegitimately?
Just curious about this scenario and wondering if it has been discussed in any articles or news shows.
