“I know some of the national delegates and if they can get around that, they will. And it won’t be Trump, Cruz or Kasich that they’ll select.”

Unbelievable.

There are rules:

(a) Binding and Allocation.
(1) Any statewide presidential preference vote that permits a choice among candidates for the Republican
nomination for President of the United States in a primary, caucuses, or a state convention must be used to allocate and bind the
state’s delegation to the national convention in either a proportional or winner-take-all manner, except for delegates and alternate
delegates who appear on a ballot in a statewide election and are elected directly by primary voters.
(2) The Secretary of the Convention shall faithfully announce and record each delegate’s vote in accordance
with the delegate’s obligation under these rules, state law or state party rule. If any delegate bound by these rules, state party rule
or state law to vote for a presidential candidate at the national convention demonstrates support under Rule 40 for any person
other than the candidate to whom he or she is bound, such support shall not be recognized. Except as provided for by state law or
state party rule, no presidential candidate shall have the power to remove a delegate.

Cruz and Trump are both operating under an illusion of fairness. They don’t really know the gop-e.
