Donald Trump may be the only Republican presidential candidate who can realistically hit the magic 1,237 number for the majority of delegates, but according to a senior Republican National Committee official that does not mean he will become the GOP presidential nominee.
Curly Haugland, a longstanding RNC official and an unbound delegate from North Dakota who will be on the convention rules committee in July, told CNBC that attaining 1,237 during the primaries does not secure the nomination.
"Even if Trump reaches the magic number of 1,237 the media and RNC are touting, that does not mean Trump is automatically the nominee," Haugland said. "The votes earned during the primary process are only estimates and are not legal convention votes. The only official votes to nominate a candidate are those that are cast from the convention floor."

The Cheap Labor Express expects to get the amnesty candidate they paid for.
Uh-huh, Curly...go ahead...make our day.
I am no fan of trump but if he gets 1237 that should be it. Its his to lose in the general.
The Chairman needs to get his troops under control. Self-inflicted injuries are just as fatal.
Yeah, and the Trump people will then just support the RNC candidate, right? They’ll coalesce behind him and cast their votes with glee, right? The Republicans will win big in November then, right?
Wrong.
Curly is about to bring tar and feather summerwear back into fashion.
Bomb throwing nobody. This stooge has been strutting about for a while with his never Trump nonsense.
Keep talking, as***le!
Now that we’ve seen the little man behind the curtain, things will never again be as you idiots want.
You won't DO anything, you stupid PUSSY..!!
“Curly Haugland must enjoy being hated. “..........
“Hear say “ has it, he’s not going to enjoy being buried either.
Relax. This is a months old story and Curly gets several things wrong, such as pretending state rules don’t exist or aren’t as binding as they actually are. He’s either having a senior moment or mouthpiecing a bluff to try and get Trump and supporters to do something stupid.
Go ahead, Curly, make my day.
“but according to a senior Republican National Committee official that does not mean he will become the GOP presidential nominee.”
It will be then end of the Republican Party as we know it then.
I am no fan of trump but if he gets 1237 that should be it. Its his to lose in the general.
Agree 100%
But what’s to stop the RNC from doing a “Murkowski” and organizing a Write-In campaign for Kasich?
The UGLY face of the paste-white RNC.
Remember that time you got your books slapped down in the hallway..?
