Since this isnt directly from Trump's mouth, i am not saying he is in charge of the gentleman who is stating these actions are going to be taken. However, how does it affect Trump, and will he have to do damage control?
Now, having said all of that, it appears that the rules are actually different for delegates than every news agency is reporting. This means the delegates can choose who they want per a delegate from ND. Read it, because it is really fascinating from a historical standpoint!
So, if the delegates vote their conscience and Donald doesnt get their pledge, is it really someone stealing his votes? If Kasich ends up with the nomination after the first vote fails to produce a nominee, is the whole place going to melt down since he only won two states? If Cruz plays the rules better than the rest and gets the nomination, is everyone going to accept he was a better hustler than the Donald?
Longtime Donald Trump ally Roger Stone is threatening to make public the hotel room numbers of Republican National Convention delegates who switch from Trump to another candidate.
"We’re going to have protests, demonstrations. We will disclose the hotels and the room numbers of those delegates who are directly involved in the steal," Stone said Monday in a discussion with Stefan Molyneux on Freedomain Radio, as he alleged that Trump's opponents planned to deny the democratic will of Republican primary voters.
"If you’re from Pennsylvania, we’ll tell you who the culprits are. We urge you to visit their hotel and find them. You have a right to discuss this, if you voted in the Pennsylvania primary, for example, and your votes are being disallowed," Stone said.

In 1976, the Ford campaign, afraid of losing "pledged" delegates to Reagan
forces and having the strength of delegate numbers needed, forced the
adoption of the "Justice Resolution" which amended the convention rules to
bind the delegates to cast their convention votes according to the results of
binding primaries.
This historic event was the first convention in the history of the Republican
Party where the delegates were denied the freedom to vote as they wished in the
nomination vote for President. And, 1976 was also the last time delegates have
been bound by convention rules to cast their votes according to the results of
binding primary elections, since the 1980 convention rescinded the Justice
Resolution entirely restoring the prohibition of binding.
