I would suspect that “Rule 40” will be changed, and that’s going to keep up the pro-Trump fervor about the nomination being manipulated by pols who write the rules that suit them as they need them.
That is a concern for sure. If I am correct, any rule changes would have to be ratified by the overall delegate body. If that is the case, then the Trump and Cruz folks simply shoot down that rule change.
But...
What if Cruz is working for the GOPe?
Then the Cruz delegates would vote TO MODIFY Rule 40 in order to prevent Trump from getting the OH delegates.
In that case, that would be consistent with Cruz’ game to deny Trump a 1st ballot win. Cruz would be opening up the possibility though of the GOPe putting in a Romney, Ryan, Walker, Jeb!, etc. - a very dangerous gambit.
