That is true! Their consultants lie to them.

In GOP.com find rules numbered 1-42. In the preamble read the last few words…”and the rules of business of this national convention”. That will be the preamble to the Rules of the Republican Party to be adopted in 2024 at the National Convention.

The Rule 16 you refer to is in the section of rules “the rules under which delegates and alternate delegates shall be allotted to the respective states in the next national convention”. (2028)

Rules 26-42 are the rules that will govern the Republican National Convention in 2024.

Rules 1-25 will apply to time, after the convention, and only UNTIL the next convention; and they only apply now UNTIL the convention. Voting to choose the Republican nominee will take place under yet to be determined rules for the 2024 convention.

The RNC AND THE CONSULTANTS ARE LYING TO THE CANDIDATES! Sad!

You know delegates are not “allocated”. All delegates are free to vote their conscience at the Republican National Convention.

Why do you continue to deceive people?

This would come as a surprise to the presidential candidates who are competing for delegates.

Here's rule 16 of the RNC's rules: "Any statewide presidential preference vote that permits a choice among candidates for the Republican nomination for President of the United States in a primary, caucuses, or a state convention must be used to allocate and bind the state’s delegation to the national convention."

Delegates who don't vote for who they are allocated to are extremely unlikely to matter just like faithless electors in the general election. Trump will probably win way over 50 percent of delegates to the point where even if some of them vote for somebody else at the convention, there will be no suspense going into the convention about who the nominee is. Furthermore, candidates drop out along the way, and it is possible for a party to have every candidate other than the winner concede and endorse the winner before the convention.

Is it too late to get Ann-Margret on the primary ballot to see how Haley does against her?
