What does that have to do anything.
The purpose of the primary is to identify a candidate that can unify the party for the general election, and a candidate demonstrate he can do this by getting the majority of delegates to vote for him.
And if Trump can’t accomplish this, that means we don’t have such a unifying candidate.

Trump supporter should be focused on getting him over 50%, nothing turns off the supporters of other candidates and counter the object of unification than their strident declaration that their candidate should get the nomination no matter how the primary voters vote from here on out.

Because the GOP changed the rules so that it was going to MUCH more likely to be a contested convention.

Wrong. A candidate demonstrates that by getting a majority of the primary voters and states. THe delegates are NOT the party. The VOTERS are.

The purpose of the convention is to unify the party. The purpose of the primaries is find the candidate who appeals to the most people in each state. So far, only Trump is collecting wins.
