The nominee will be the one that gets a majority of delegates. It may be that the convention comes and nobody has it going in. Which will mean it will have to be decided by some delegates eventually changing their votes. That's not shenanigans, that's basic logic.
If you take a guy with 70% the delegates of one guy, and try and make him the nominee that’s shenanigans.
If you try and provoke a fight and stick someone who didn’t even run in the primary, or say only won Ohio as the nominee that’s more than shenanigans.
Now, I can understand say if two guys were within say 20-50 delegates of each other, and the party thought “this guy here can win”, well, I could understand that.
But I don’t see that as happening. What I see happening is an effort to cause mayhem at the convention from the articles I’ve read to date.

For those that look at what the schemers are up to, it’s easy to understand.
Kasich should not be in the race. He is there for one and one reason only, to achieve a contested convention.
Donald Trump would inherit a substantial portion of Kasich’s delegates, thus making his quest for 1237+ total delegates that much easier.
The answer to your difficulty in understanding is that people know the Party of Romney is not the Party of Reagan. The Party of Romney will lie, cheat and steal their way to a coup. Thus, in the context of such conniving, the person with the far lead in delegates is the one that voters prefer. And this fact is now announced in the exit polls in Wisconsin, by a large margin voters want the nominee to be the candidate with the most delegates, not necessarily the majority.
