Lately we hear a lot of political discussions about Ted Cruz and John Kasich wooing Donald Trump's republican convention delegates. Those of little faith are wondering whether it will even matter if 2016 republican front runner Donald Trump gathers the necessary 1,237 delegates before the convention, or not. Will Ted Cruz’s 10 new Louisiana Cruz delegates vote for the frontrunner, Donald Trump, adhering to patriotic pre-existing standards? Or will the 10 delegates just skip traditional formalities and swing to second place finisher Ted Cruz on the 1st ballot? The political bear traps that lie ahead for Donald Trump at the 2016 Republican Party Convention are formidable. Going into the republican convention Donald Trump is in good shape as the front runner-populist candidate.
