Don't bet on it. Suppose 5 of the delegates were killed in an auto accident. The only sure thing is Trump continues with every State left and make sure that the pledged count is over 1237. When he reaches 1400 I will feel secure. Trump for President and hope he continues for delegates.

Totally incorrect. There is no federal law binding delegates to vote a particular way and state laws are unenforceable at a national political party’s convention. The binding of delegates happens through mutual agreement between state parties and the national party.

The delegates to the national convention can do whatever they want. It’s their convention. They vote on a new set of rules to govern the convention. If they choose to disregard the mutual agreement for binding delegates, they are free to do so, period. The courts have ruled repeatedly that political parties have a constitutional right to freedom of association and can write and enforce their own rules. States cannot interfere in that process.
