And if nobody gets a majority they should respect the voters and give it to the one with the most delegates, almost certainly Trump. Anything else is a big FU to everyone who voted for him. The powers that run the GOP have already thrown a half a billion dollars at trashing the frontrunner. I for one won’t forget.

“And if nobody gets a majority they should respect the voters and give it to the one with the most delegates...”

Ok. But that would require a rule change.

No, if no one gets a majority, they go until someone does get a majority. That is the way it has been done since 1856. It is not uncommon for the person having the most delegates (but not a majority) going into the convention to fail to win the nomination. If Trump doesn't have a majority of the delegates going in, then he has to try to make deals to win over enough to get the nomination. That is the process. No reason we should change it for Trump.
