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.

That seems increasingly obvious.

Voting has become nonessential, thanks to the GOPe and Cruz’s sore loser complex. The only way for Cruz to win the nomination is for him to stack the delagate deck. The only way for the GOPe to get their “fresh face” in is for Cruz to stack the delegate deck and then have those delegates turn on him and nominate the “fresh face”.
