Did you really think the GOP was going to let American people pick its nominee??

...better think again.

"Donald Trump may be the only Republican presidential candidate who can realistically hit the magic 1,237 number for the majority of delegates, but according to a senior Republican National Committee official that does not mean he will become the GOP presidential nominee.

Curly Haugland, a longstanding RNC official and an unbound delegate from North Dakota who will be on the convention rules committee in July, tells CNBC that attaining the 1,237 delegate count during the primaries does not secure the nomination, "Even if Trump reaches the magic number' of 1,237 the media and RNC are touting, that does not mean Trump is automatically the nominee" Haugland said.

"The votes earned during the primary process are only estimates and are not legal convention votes. "The only official votes to nominate a candidate are those that are cast from the convention floor."
