It will be the toughest pill to swallow if the RNC screws over the clear delegate leader at the convention and pushes the 2nd or 3rd place guy.

To reward that behavior is unforgivable.

Mark Levin was talking last night about how Lincoln became President with a brokered convention although he got fewer votes.

Delegates elected by the voters at local and state party caucuses (not GOPe) are the ones who’d have to find a solution at the convention if neither Trump nor Cruz has the requisite number of delegates. That’s the purpose of a convention.

So put yourself in those shoes. You’re an elected Trump delegate from your state. Trump doesn’t have the numbers to win on the first ballot. What do you do?
