If a GOP candidate (Trump or whoever else) wins more than 1236 delegates before July GOP convention does it mean that he has secured for 100% his nomination ???
Yes!If a GOP candidate (Trump or whoever else) wins more than 1236 delegates before July GOP convention does it mean that he has secured for 100% his nomination ???
For the vast majority of delegates, faith has nothing to do with it; they're 'bound' on the first vote, and the GOP cannot accept any other vote from them, and will even mark their vote for them should they chose to not vote (or even not show-up, I believe).Yes, barring a total meltdown of faithless delegates, at which point their would no longer be a party.

Fair enough, and thank you for forgiving my ignorance of the term.That's what delegates who don't vote their people's choice for candidate are called, "faithless delegates".

Every state's delegates seem to be unique in this matter! :dohI was wondering about the delegates whose candidate is no longer in the race, can they go any way they want?

Except apparently, for those unfaithful guys you found!Depends upon the state's rules. Some may, but AFAIK most must still vote for (in the first ballot) the candidate they are bound to, regardless if they've dropped out.
I was wondering, it looks like Trump could come up short by just a few delegates.Except apparently, for those unfaithful guys you found!

I was looking at Cruz's numbers, he is almost statistically not going to make it to a plurality.
