Yes. So let’s say Rubio won a state and he got 30 delegates, and Trump came in 2nd and got 20 delegates, and Cruz came in 3rd and got 10 delegates.
First vote, they vote as above.
Second vote, could be either:
a) All of Rubio’s delegates vote for Trump, so Trump now has 50 votes (30 from Rubio and his original 20) and Cruz still has 10 votes. Or...
b) Rubio’s 30 delegates could be divided proportionally to those still in the race (who earned delegates in that state). In that case, Trump would get 20 of Rubio’s delegates and Cruz would get 10. So the second vote would be 40 for Trump (20 original + 20 Rubio’s), and 20 for Cruz (10 original +10 Rubio’s)
I’m just thinking out loud here.

Me too. I think your B scenario has merit.
