It is totally fair.
If a candidate gets 1237 or more before the convention, the delegates are obligated to vote for him in the first round and he gets the nomination.
If no candidate gets 1237 before the convention, the vote goes to the next round. That’s the rules.
In the second round most most of the delegates are free to vote for whomever they want. Some are still obligated in the second round. After that all are free.
After the first round, it is open (as described above) and becomes a total floor fight.
Then whichever candidate can get the majority (1237 delegates) in a vote in the later rounds (with 8 states needing majority) wins.
The idea is a GOPe will pull it off.
But who’s to say Trump or Cruz won’t win in a floor fight?
If it happens it will very exciting.
yes, Finnegan.
as the convention delegates will be predominantly Cruz and Trump people ... almost impossible for anyone but one of those 2 to be nominated.
