>I read yesterday that the Florida delegates are bounded to vote for Trump through the first THREE ballots.
Because the delegates vote on the rules before the convention. Ted’s planning to change the rules even if Trump his the numbers he needs.
“Because the delegates vote on the rules before the convention. Ted’s planning to change the rules even if Trump his the numbers he needs.”
If Trump has the greatest number of delegates, and it is the delegates that vote on the rules, how will Cruz be the one changing the rules?
And I’m pretty sure that the Florida delegates are bound by STATE party rules to vote for Trump on the first three ballots - nothing decided on the national level can change that. (Well, unless they make up some rule that says after the first ballot they will skip ballots No. 2 and No. 3 and just move onto No. 4!)
An aside. I was looking at the convention where Lincoln was nominated on the third ballot “corrected”. On the third ballot he was down by two votes, but then three people changed their vote, and then a bunch more changed to be on the winning side. Not sure why they didn’t just call for a fourth ballot!?
