Republican delegates – Rebellion
Trump has approx. 1532 delegates.
Other delegates will they vote for him or another?
Cruz, Rubio and such, do their names remain on the ballot.
1237 needed to win.
Trump receives less than 1000 on the 1st ballor as many refuse to vote Trump.
Do they halt the voting so that State(s) can have an alneate approved?
2nd ballot
Delegates most if not all then are unbound and can vote freely.
Some background information from the links below.
Over 1000 delegates -alternates and other supporters participated in the conference call. Clearly the RNC/States are getting nervous.
Retaliation from the Republican Party at the State level includes fines, to revoking membership to stripping delegates of their Convention credentials.
So consider this.
They are bound to Trump on the 1st ballot.
What happens if they sit on their hands? They withheld their vote. They did not vote for another candidate.
Will the Party have enough alternates to then strip the delegate(s) and substitute another?
I understand that delegates pay their own freight to the Convention –Yes- No??
The TV images of hundreds or possibly more delegates sitting on their hands/ voting for another candidate how will that play on national TV networks.
Then stripping the delegates of credentials, inserting another, well the time to do that would be substantial.
Will States have enough alternates approved prior to the Convention?
And while this is ongoing, it is playing nationwide.
