What he says is technically correct. If there are 1273 delegates bound by state law to vote for Trump, then Trump will not become the nominee until they do vote for him. Of course, they will, but Trump is not the nominee until that happens.
Those who would do the unFReeper thing might find his entire interview interesting. Haugland is aware of the history of primaries and the nature of America’s political parties. He just leaves out some important information, perhaps just to give himself the illusion that he’s more important than he actually is.

I think that is all that he is saying, too. The estimated delegate counts are probably fairly close, but the delegate vote on the floor is what makes it official.
