Trump will receive more primary votes than any Republican candidate in history before this race is over. To think that the RNC would put in place rules to disallow the Republican candidate who has received those record breaking votes, or back procedures which will result in that action, is short sighted wishful thinking at best, and in more practical terms outright stupid.

Record breaking turnout in the primaries, and the RNC is supposed to throw out the results...for Cruz?

If it plays out like that, Cruz and the RNC will have effectively spit in the eye of 12 million voters, and 1199+ delegates, right before an important election. That is no way to rally support for team R, and the party would definitely loose with Cruz, as Lindsey Graham has suggested.
