Trump has enough bound delegates to win on the 1st round of voting

He now has more than the 1237 in bound delegates. The bound delegates have to legally vote for him in the first round, unless he releases them. The nomination is his per RNC rules if he wants it

Maybe wishful thinking? But most people still think Trump will be easy to beat, so I don't get that angle either.

People like to believe anything they can.

Trump will be the Republican nominee, which is crazy, absolutely crazy.

Which is now legally impossible unless he agrees to it or is incapacitated in some way
