Thank you, but the point is Cruz loyalists sitting in many of those seats.

While this is true, don't you think the delegation would be more pumped for who Arizona voted for if Jan Brewer were in the delegation?

Also, this delegation tampering is to also gain control of the rules of the convention. They are attempting to be in position to deny Trump regardless of 1237 or more pre-convention delegates. I don't think this is actually going to happen, but the fact that they have a plan and are executing accordingly is worrisome.

What kind of enthusiasm are we going to see at the convention for DJT after he wins the first ballot nomination? Everyone being in a pissed off mood? The whole process is just very disingenuous. The delegations are not going to match up very well with the voters apparently. That is a shame.
