Too "little" too late, Marco.

Besides, Rule 16 says there is NO PENALTY if any "Rubio delegates" voted for Trump on the first ballot.
For any manner of binding or allocating delegates under these rules, if a delegate (i) casts a vote for a presidential candidate at the national convention inconsistent with the delegate’s obligation under state law or state party rule, (ii) nominates or demonstrates support under Rule No. 40 for a presidential candidate other than the one to whom the delegate is bound or allocated under state law or state party rule, or (iii) fails in some other way to carry out the delegate’s affirmative duty under state law or state party rule to cast a vote at the national convention for a particular presidential candidate, the delegate shall be deemed to have concurrently resigned as a delegate and the delegate’s improper vote or nomination shall be null and void. Thereafter the secretary of the convention shall record the delegate’s vote or nomination in accordance with the delegate’s obligation under state law or state party rule. This subsection does not apply to delegates who are bound to a candidate who has withdrawn his or her candidacy, suspended or terminated his or her campaign, or publicly released his or her delegates.

What I would be more concerned about is, if "Lyin' Ted" still keeps pulling his backroom $hit to win Trump delegates on the 2nd ballot.
If so, that could mean the CFR crowd (of International Bankers) think they know of something brewing where Trump might be at room temperature, or might otherwise be incapable of accepting the nomination in July.

The rule you quote comes from the 2012 Convention rules. The 2016 Convention Rules
haven’t been written nor approved yet. The 112 member Convention Rules Committee will
meet the week before the Convention to develope the proposed rules for adoption.
The rule you quote may well come back as you quote or it may be changed. We’ll see.
