Rules change over the years for the nomination process. Last I remember is it’s first vote only. Then the delegates can do as they please.

I would rather have a brokered system anyway. It’s more ‘Republic’ which is what we are. It ensures that at the least, we get a consensus candidate that
the majority in the party can support.

Right now, the GOP candidates should be huddling with Trump and doing some horse trading ... supporting him for favors — A legitimate and honorable compromise.

I agree, though I'd prefer voters to the party. And I suspect negotiated would be a better term than brokered. No real actual votes can be ignored any more, it's not 1860
