That’s true...

So now that I understand that, is the thinking that it gives Trump an advantage because he doesn't have to worry about Cruz poaching these 99 delegates?

If that's true I would really like your feedback on this question. My premise is that about 99% of delegates are going to Cleveland with a preference. I can't believe there are that many that are undecided.

As an example we picked National Delegates in Iowa and I want to tell you what happened with one potential delegate. We passed this really strange rule. Every candidate to be a National delegate had to say, only between Trump and Cruz, who they would vote for on a potential SECOND ballot. Iowa HAS to vote the way Iowa voted even if candidates drop out on first ballot. So there were both Cruz and Trump supporters, getting along fine, and saying who they would vote for, and this weirdo gets up and says something like Cruz on first ballot, Trump on second ballot and Kasich on third as he is only guy who can win.

We had to vote for 3 and the bottom 11 would be eliminated so we could use electronic voting method. We turn in paper ballots and everyone around me, Trump and Cruz people, were mad at that guy. How dare he tell us Kasich. Only Cruz and Trump are eligible.

He had lowest vote count, either 2 or 3 votes, with 480 people there.

It was at that point I realize in this race we have all pretty much locked in to our candidate and if there is a second ballot, probably not too much bargaining will go on. Thoughts?
