The rigging of the delegate game begins after that and arms get broken and rules “adjusted” at state conventions.

We must be at our state conventions, so put a couple of night’s stay back in the piggy bank.

3. If Trump wins say 80% of the primaries, and continues to be ahead in the polls by 5-10 points, don't they Have to give him the nomination at the Republican Convention? If the above scenario occurs and he doesn't get the nomination, then what?

Thanks for the info. Didn't know that. Like I said, I'm naive about the inner workings of this. Any FReepers that know more about the process can inform the rest of us.

So the state conventions are that important, even if say, Trump is way ahead on paper, they can still "rig" the system for say, a Jeb? What a mess. .

So we should all go to the state conventions? Do you have to be a 'state delegate' to even get in? Again, do not know the process and I would guess most Americans don't. No excuse, just stating a probability. Any ways we can have a voice in the state conventions will be highly appreciated.
