But after the first ballot a lot of delegates become unbound, so it would be possible at that point if they reopen the nominations.

Which would require a change to rule 40, unless there is some Roberts Rules of Order parliamentary trickery to temporarily suspend the rules.

The more the GOPe resorts to extreme measures, the worse it will get.

Actually the convention is operated under the rules of the House of Representatives. I think I read that they were trying to change it so that Roberts Rules were used because the Rules of the House would allow them to reopen the nominations.
