If he gets the required number of delegates before the convention, they will try to change the goal posts still.
Your refusal to understand the establishment mindset is remarkable.

If Trump wins the 1237 delegates, there is no contested convention and he will be the nominee. Period. The establishment is not going to take it away.
Until then, of course Trump has to earn it. And of course the establishment will make it difficult. Listen to Trump bash the GOP leaders. Why should they roll out a red carpet for the guy when he's constantly screaming and whining about everything being rigged.
I don't hear Cruz complaining about these "winner take all" States Trump has won with less than 50% of the vote. That's pretty unfair, but it's the rule.
We'll see what happens in Wyoming today, and how Trump will respond to another delegate loss. Wyoming does this the same way Colorado did, only Wyoming has been doing this for decades with no recent change. Trump isn't going to Wyoming and he cancelled Palin's event. He has little to no ground process in place and will likely, deservedly, lose.
