I think the CO delegates must vote for Trump in the first round, right?

If Trump doesn’t secure the nomination on the first round of votes, then all delegates are up for the taking/deal making in subsequent rounds.

This is how Lincoln won. It is not cheating to secure delegates in case on a contested convention.

“This is how Lincoln won. It is not cheating to secure delegates in case on a contested convention.”

34 to 0? 0 delegates will vote for Trump in the first ballot without a single vote! People at Lincoln’s time would have had an early civil war, right?

The fact uniparty CHEATS. Call them super delegates or GOPee superglue, does it really matter?

I think not.

Lincoln is dead. That was 150+ years ago. Completely irrelevant.
