Comment: read the gop rules

put this on another thread: " National gop rules allow states to bind, however nothing in the rules states delegates must uphold that binding at the national convention. Reason being the binding is done based on primaries and such which may, or importantly may not, reflect the gop party. For instance, in many states democrats and independants are allowed to vote in the republican primaries. While the primary tests the waters for a general election, the outcome may not align in the best interests of the gop. So delegates technically are unbound on the national level, or no rule states the bind must be followed at the national convention.

All primaries and caucuses are simply straw votes. The real nomination process is done through grassroot elections of precinct, county, and finally state elections of delegates who determine who gets the nomination."

Honestly, read the national gop rules, it is all right there. Getting involved is all you have to do. Ron will win, or not, based on how involved his supporters are this year, inside (aka delegate count) the Republican Party.
