The video that explains and Open Convention (aka Brokered Convention) has this little tidbit at the 1:36 min mark....

"The majority of delegates are elected by people that show up to their respective state party conventions or caucuses. They can also be elected at the same time that a voter casts his or her ballot for the presidential candidate of their choice. All of these decisions are governed by state party rules."

Video here: RNC / GOP Explanation of Open Convention

So our Primary votes mean very, very, very little in the grand scheme of things.

The Framers hated the very idea of political parties for the very reasons we’re witnessing today. It’s why you don’t see a single mention of them in our Constitution. They’re an evil that allows small groups of well placed and powerful people to hijack and usurp the powers bestowed upon The People by our forebears.

Screw the parties and their goddamned ‘rules’. Those ‘rules’ only bind the common man, and empower the elites, who have been working to overthrow the Constitution and The People from the very inception of this country.

“Trumpkins don’t care they want to write their own rules.”

The only ‘rules’ I’m bound to respect, are those found in the Constitution. The two major political parties are an abomination, and their ‘rules’ are nothing more than artificial constraints on the powers bequeathed to The People by the Framers.

It's looking like third party, in which no official of any other party is ever allowed to join, is the real answer.

If the disenfranchised of the uniparty branches join together, the scam is over.

Wracking my brain trying to figure out how this excellent explanation is an anti-tRump post, especially with the statement that he is very likely to win on the first ballot at GOP convention.

Seems there’s just no pleasing some folks.

If Trump supporters want their own rules, maybe they should start their own party. They loudly proclaim how much they hate Republicans, why should they get to choose the Republican candidate?

What’s anti-Trump about the article? It’s just explaining the delegate situation.

Well Cruz will not be picking up much in NY. He just got booed in the Bronx. California doesn't like him very much.

It's really just a statement of fact.

If he goes third party, everyone’s “fun” will be ruined. Aside from the progressives, of course.
