Here are some facts that seem to me to be applicable: There are 2472 delegates to the GOP Convention. 57% of these or something over 1400 are free to vote however they like after the 1st ballot. Question: How many of these delegates do you believe are controlled by the GOPe?

Interesting.

So 43% of the delegates ARE required to vote for their candidate after the first round. I have not heard that. Source?

And of those 57% of the delegates, what percentage are candidate loyalists who were picked by their candidate and what percentage are GOPe loyalists who were picked by their local parties?

I really don't recall. Rush possibly or Mark Levin. You are smart to question it. It sounds right but I can't guarantee it. In any case the GOPe is going to have to get a large chunk of delegates to change their mind if they are going to push anybody but Cruz or Trump down our throats.

It differs state to state what the delegates can do. I think there was a good thread here this morning with the details. Or it is on the GOP contested convention website..
