I have not been able to understand this yet.
Real Clear Politics lists all the delegates going to Trump in the Az primary. ?

The Cruz delegates are bound to Trump for the first ballot. If Trump does not receive the required majority on the first round of voting, delegates are then unbound and can vote for whoever they want.
As such, Cruz is playing the strategy of being the candidate that is left when (if) Trump fails to receive the required delegates.
Now what I dont understand is how Jan feels she has been cheated. She KNOWS the delegates are bound to Trump for the first round of votes. She knew the rules prior to the election of delegates. As far as I know, she was not on the slate of delegates. I am not sure where she has a claim for being cheated.
They will, on the first vote. If that doesn’t put Trump over the top they’re free to vote however the want. That’s what the delegate system is all about, if the voters can’t manage to designate a clear winner through the primary and caucus votes, as demonstrated on the first ballot, then you MUST have delegates able to change their votes on subsequent ballots. Otherwise you can’t get a winner, and that mean no nominee, which makes things rather boring come November.
