If Trump gets to 1273, he might win.
If he gets to 1237, that’s probably not enough. My guess is he needs a few dozen more than 1237.
Why? Faithless delegates bound to him who abstain from voting first round.
Can they do that? It’s open for interpretation.
And who will be doing the interpreting?
Exactly.
I read that if delegates got cute and refrained from voting on the first ballot, the amount of delegates needed for the nomination decreased accordingly. So that plan won’t work.
” Faithless delegates “
GOPe cronies who are promised who knows what.
