If Trump gets this majority, aka, the most votes, So-be-it... he has my vote, and I hope he has yours. But, Trump may not be the first to get over 1236.
If the 1236 don’t reflect voter count, they can KMA. I believe these delegates have a responsibility to the voters. If no regard to the voter, no regard to the party.
Yep, they certainly do. It's in the rules. Typically, but not always, limited to the first round vote.
These "delegates" are mostly ordinary folk, just like little you and little me. They got off their butts, went to a caucus of other folks that also got off their duff that day, and chose who would represent the voter... for the first round (typically). THey reached into their OWN pockets for the $3000 or $4000 of hard-earned money to travel and stay in Cleveland, and vote, for their voters back home, for the first vote... and thereafter, vote their conscience.
Good luck!
