Florida's delegation has already been cut from 99 to 50. On top of that, the GOP Rules Committee could decide to change Florida from a winner-take-all contest, which is what state leaders want, to a proportional contest, where those 50 delegates would be divided among several candidates.
Priebus said the way he sees it, the rules are clear that Florida could lose its "winner-take-all" primary because it went too early.
If it's a close race, this could lead to something very rare -- fireworks on the convention floor when the GOP comes to Tampa in August.
