Even if Trump goes into the convention with less than required to win the first ballot, there will still be no one with a better claim to having the support of the party’s voters.

Yeah, but Trump still has less than about 40% Republican support. That's why we would need head-to-head, one-on-one balloting at the Convention if Trump csn't muster a majority of delegates (even with his disproportionately high delegates-per-voter ratio).

This Convention balloting does not completely shut out GOPe meddling, but at least they will have to follow their own rules.
