I've gotten some answers to this question a while back but was hoping for clarification regarding who will actually "win" the nomination?
Seems to me it could be possible that there might not be a clear cut favorite heading into the Republican National Convention. Each state sends delegates who are supposed to vote, correct?
Is there a requirement that they or a certain percentage of the delegates vote for the winner of their state, or do they all just vote their conscience, or some combination thereof? Is each state's rules different?
If, say, multiple candidates (more than 2) win a number of states - which I think is very possible at this stage - then will the RNC just be a bunch of backroom politicing to get the right man for the job? If so then I think we should be prepared to play dirty, whatever that means.
