There will be some state party picked delegates representing Tump and Cruz who would vote GOPe in the second round, but for the most part you are correct.
I believe both Trump and Cruz have a responsibility to pick delegates who won't vote GOPe.
Trump and Cruz aren’t “picking delegates”.
I am volunteering to be a committed delegate for Cruz.
Fellow delegates as State Assembly determine whether I go.
All available information suggests a significant majority of our State Delegates to Nat’l will be committed Cruz.
I listened to an interview with Roger Stone and he was talking about delegates. He used Texas as an example for some rules that work against Trump. The Texas delegates have to be people who were at the state GOP convention 2014. Trump was not running in 2014, so there will not be any Trump delegates from Texas going to Cleveland. He said other states have similar rules. It should be interesting to see how it comes out and how serious the GOP establishment is about enforcing their will.

In some states they don’t get to pick their own delegates, the party does. And in Pennsylvania the delegates aren’t required to vote for “their” candidate on any ballot, including the first.
I heard GOPe crapweasel Hugh Hewitt speculating that the PA delegates might just be “missing” from the floor on the first ballot so that he won’t get their votes at all.
