Failing that, once all the delegates are released from their pledges,

That won't ever happen. There are close to 500 delegates that are forever bound.

Yeah, sure there are a few that are bound for the entire convention, but a deal can still be hammered out short a few delegates. There will be nearly 2,000 free delegates to work with after a few ballots, and only 1,191 are needed to cinch the nomination.
