I mentioned it earlier in the thread, but it bears repeating: they have absolutely no choice if Trump has the most delegates. His base isn't savvy enough to understand that when you hitch your wagon to a Party, you have to play by that Party's rules. They'll go absolutely nutso if he has the most delegates and doesn't get the nomination, even if it's completely within the rules, and will never forgive the Party.

The convention is going to be an absolute zoo.
