Currently Trump has almost 1200 delegates and Cruz has nearly 600.
Trump supporters outnumber Cruz suporters on any ‘vote’ issues that arise at the convention.
As soon as he gets a solid 1237, Trump will likely sit his people in the top positions of various committees and possibly even the RNC.
Cruz and his supporters can go sit in the corner with Romney.
Need to research this. The rules committee makes the convention rules just prior to the convention. The slight majority are Cruz delegates. There were fights for these positions that made the newswire. Maybe one delegate from NH?
If he could pull this off, Ted and OPP super Pac would for 2016. Need to research more and see if the rules go to a floor vote. I am under the impression they do not. RNC uses the House rules and not Robert’s Rules of Order.
However, I feel in great hands with Paul Manafort. There is no way they will pull this junk on him and get by with it. I’m guessing it’s setting a plan in motion for 2020.
