‘If no one gets the 1237 needed then the delegates HAVE to be able to switch their vote to get someone to the magic number. ...’

In other words, they can vote against the public vote which everyone wants them to represent. Same as super-delegates like I’ve been saying.

Do you realize that you are on the side of the GOP Establishment Kingmakers from Sea Island? They also want a contested convention. Doesn’t that creep you out? They are using Cruz. He’s foolishly letting them.

No that’s not being a kingmaker. You’re talking about a brokered convention where they go in a backroom and then come out and say something like Romney will be our nominee (even though he wasn’t running).

The rules say you need 1237 votes. If you don’t get there nobody wins the will of the voter is undetermined. But let’s entertain your theory...what happens if Trump as 1000 delegates and Cruz has 1000 delegates? everyone else is under 200 delegates. Do they both become the nominee or do the other delegates get to change their vote to the person they think their voters would most likely back? If they can’t switch their vote to break the tie then what happens?
