That’s interesting. What I was worrying about (as a Trump supporter) was not so much bargaining after the fact, but finding out at the convention that delegates from states Trump won were ready to switch to Cruz as soon as they were free to do so (depending on their state rules for first, second, third ballot, etc.).
The reason I was worried was because of stories about Cruz having a better delegate “ground game”, which I assume means being better at identifying delegate candidates in each precinct that will be loyal to Cruz when they are free to do so.
Here in PA, 54 of 71 delegates are completely unbound. When we vote April 26, apparently we won’t know which delegates support which candidates, unless our candidate’s team reaches out to instruct a, which has not happened yet. The Trump team should also be recruiting delegate candidates that favor Trump, and I don’t know whether or not it is happening. There may be people at the polling places with Trump signs offering to tell yo which 3 delegates we should choose. (And conceivably, they could be GOPe plants trying to lead me astray :-)
I am not one of the people that considers this cheating or stealing, but I do wish the party systems were more straight forward, so that if I vote for my candidate, I could be sure my vote counts toward my candidate, rather than subject to being intercepted by a more clever campaign operative.
Cruz is winning a lot of delegates that will vote Trump first ballot and Cruz second ballot. I posted a link a while ago that shows who each PA delegate has said who they will support. What was funny one guy said three different things to three different papers.
here is the link it is a week old though

Last one gives the counts of each supporter but not the name of the delegate
