The RNC of the GOP, Republican National Committee of the Grand Olde Party, think and say that they are in charge of their own political party. The have 'Rule 40' that was put in to benefit Mitt Romney, but they may change that rule the week or day before the national convention in Cleveland Ohio July 18-21, 2016.
They could then just choose the (1) Nominee; (2) VP Nominee; and (3) Platform for the 2016 general election, to run against the Democrat(ic) Party replacement for HRClinton. This would be the old-style 'Brokered Convention' where the main (1) Nominee is decided in a 'smoke-filled room'.
On the other hand, an 'open convention' requires repeated voting. Delegates are 'bound' to vote on the first ballot for how they were selected, and released on subsequent votes.
This all becomes moot if Donald J. Trump achieves 1,237 (simple majority) before Convention. Of course, Ted Cruz could also achieve the number to grasp the gold ring, but there is a 50/50 chance we arrive at Cleveland Convention with a plurality (the most but not majority) and we feel that Trump would like the challenge and drama.

After the Trump 'tsunami' in NY, and his Foreign Policy Speech, Donald J. Trump is poised to cross 1,237 delegate-votes June 7th in California. Californians recognize the weakness of Senator Ted Cruz' VP selection who was beat in CA by Barbara Boxer, crazy Liberal.
Expect Trump to win in Indiana, which seems like a 'must win' for Cruz. UK news talks of Kasich's brother who had to sue for his share of inheritance after parents died in a car crash. They didn't speak to each other for 19yrs (the brothers, not the parents.)
Donald J. Trump will like it even more when he has a mandate after the voting in CA and NJ and three other states. For the unity of the Party and the good of America, Rafael "Ted" Cruz dropped out and instead of having drama at Convention, there will be a Trump "Make America great again" EXTRAVAGANZA.
Do a Google-search to find: Rush discusses the “extravaganza” Donald Trump will produce at the 2016 Republican National Convention in Cleveland, July 18-21.
The Nominee takes the lead in the Republican Party and controls what happens at convention. Will he speak all four days? OF COURSE .!.
