“Whatever Cruz thinks he is going to do is a pipe dream.”

Delegates are real people with real lives and most of them don’t want to be the center of public controversy. Their position, if it’s against the will of the voters in their state, sounds lovely until the reality hits that they have to go home and their votes and names are public information. I doubt that if they think they will be shunned at home for creating a messes in Cleveland they will most likely cave to the will of the people and not to Ted’s visions of grandeur.

Precisely. Trump is consolidating power right now. He is very busy taking charge and asserting who is boss.

You are right about that. It’s all public record. In AZ, where it looks like you’re from, nobody was trusting anyone at that State Convention. I told my District that my County went for Trump 65% to 35%. I, as an elected officials, would NEVER go against the will of the people, that would be political suicide, not to mention incredibly stupid. The majority wanted Trump and we should and will honor that vote. I mean, how can we, as PC’s go out and register people vote with the mantra of “YOUR VOTE COUNTS” and in the next breath undermine that vote. If you want the Party to pick the nominee, fine. But if you are going to have public elections paid for by the citizens of the County, you must respect the vote, always.
