Absolutely agree. But the rules now are the same. Must win eight states delegates by a majority. Must win 1237 to win the nomination. Those won’t change unless the delegates to the convention change them. If the majority of the delegates are for Mr. Trump and Mr. Cruz why would they change them?

I just don’t see the subversion you are speaking of. As long as one of the two is the nominee which is what the current rules require I’m all in on whoever the nominee is.

The rules committee can change the requirement that delegates are bound on the first vote...The rules committee decisions supersede the rules of the states...Cruz could win on the first vote if they change that rule...
