Trump will have it wrapped up in March.

If the GOPe bastards try to thrwart the will of the people, there will be a revolt.

Agree.

Trump will wrap this up in March.

Many of the states are not winner-take-all, so this could go well past March.

I think you are right about that. Unless something happens, Trump wins NH then sweeps all the primaries after that. He might not win Iowa, but I bet he does, and even if he doesn't, Iowa doesn't matter much. Huckabee and Santorum won Iowa.

Question I have is, when and how does Trump gain control of the RNC? Does he have any control heading into the convention, does he have to gain control at the convention, and what can he do after the convention with all the GOPe people in the RNC so he doesn't get sabotaged? I'm curious. My recollection is that Reagan put his people in place after the election in 1980, and that Bush fired them all in 1988 or 89. I don't know the mechanism by which that happens. Any experts here?

Too many of the states award the delegates proportionally so that it will be difficult to have a clear majority.
