But rule 40[b] also says that the rnc chairman & central committee have final say so on who the nominee is, no matter on how many delegates they have. And that is the dirty little secret they do not want exposed.

Doesn’t appear to be a concern, if Trump cleans up. If not, then I agree - and I will blame Cruz and/or Rubio for letting the GOPe ONCE AGAIN choose our candidate - in other words select Jeb or Romney.
If Rinse your Prius wants to try that maneuver, he might as well don a suicide vest and detonate it.
Ka-BOOM.
Bullshit.
Here is the text of 40(b) and no where in the rule does it state that the RNC chairman and central committee have final say. Stop spreading lies.
(b) Each candidate for nomination for President of the United States and Vice President of the United States shall demonstrate the support of a majority of the delegates from each of eight (8) or more states, severally, prior to the presentation of the name of that candidate for nomination. Notwithstanding any other provisions of these rules or any rule of the House of Representatives, to demonstrate the support required of this paragraph a certificate evidencing the affirmative written support of the required number of permanently seated delegates from each of the eight (8) or more states shall have been submitted to the secretary of the convention not later than one (1) hour prior to the placing of the names of candidates for nomination pursuant to this rule and the established order of business.

Please quote the rule instead of paraphrasing it. A lot can get lost in paraphrasing.
