Can you explain this bizarre concept a little better?
cruz = luze
You have to be able to think like Ted Cruz and Glenn Beck to understand the concept.
It is not that the concept was poorly stated. The concept is delusional.
Basically allows delegates to "vote their conscience" on a first ballot. No delegate will be tied to the choice of the people. IOW, whoever can stack their delegates in will be the nominee for future elections, if Cruz has his way anyway.

This is a pretty detailed article that explains the committee process. It also explains the conscience clause. Basically the conscience clause has been a part of the nominating rules for over 100 years. The exception being 1976 when Goldwater was able to use his influence to require unit voting.
