Maybe you didn’t read the whole article:

“Now, let’s be realistic. It’s unlikely that delegates who are bound to vote for Trump on the first ballot would try to block him from the nomination by refusing to sign a Rule 40 written statement (especially if he’s clinched 1,237 delegates). If they’re that adamantly opposed to him, they could always bug out during the floor vote on the first ballot and withhold their support that way.”

Know he knows he can plan ahead with one goal and two options; Get to 1237 in the primary or get to 1237 on the first ballot.

2D, when this is over, you're going to need some prayer threads; and you could ask other freepers to give you therapy. We'll take our tithes or payments here.
