Re: Post 40.

As I recall (a slippery slope for sure) any candidate can release his delegates to vote for someone else. That’s what actually happens. In this case Cruz throws his support to Trump or vice versa. Not all delegates go along but I believe most would.

Does anybody believe that Trump or Cruz delegates will switch to Rubio or Bush? Not me.

But I am no expert on how the individual delegates are actually chosen. The GOPe might try to mess with that process.
