I read somewhere that most of the PA delegates will go to Cleveland unbound to an candidate no matter the voting results in the PA primary...
Po The Donald!
Yes, it’s like 54 out of 71 PA delegates will not be officially pledged towny candidate on the first ballot...
Hah! Bet you that rascally Ted Cruz knows about this and already has his “Gestapo” Black operatives rappelling into the Keystone state as we speak to steal what is rightfully Trump’s property! And, Cruz professes to be a Christian! If he doesn’t turn, he’s gonna burn!
Technically unbound, but they are active in local politics and business, It would be prudent for them to vote as promised in the first round of voting. After that, all bets are off.
Trump needs to start courting unbound delegates and even those bound to other candidates. He doesn't have to offer bribes, just be nice, ask about their concerns, and express an interest in their support. If he brings them with their families to one of his resorts for that discussion, that is completely legal and a common practice (and Trump has a huge advantage in that direction!).
If Trump promises support for the issues of most concern to them, that should also help. I believe that Trump can even legally inquire about their interest in working in his administration, so long as he does not directly offer to trade patronage jobs for their votes. It's time for him to play the game by the rules and start winning delegates, including courting the delegates who are bound to him so they will stay loyal.
