There are not many more important things to keep in mind when considering what might happen during the Republican National Convention than to remember that the convention voting is not a Super Bowl game, held in a neutral location with neutral judges. It is a game of Calvinball, to hearken back to the fictional, hopelessly complex game played in "Calvin & Hobbes" -- a game made up on the fly, taking place in Calvin's house and where Calvin already has a winner in mind.

So keep that context in mind as we consider this report from Time magazine. It suggests that the 50 delegates won by Donald Trump in South Carolina's primary earlier this year may suddenly no longer be bound to support him at the convention. Why not? Because he broke his promise to support the Republican nominee, if it's not him, during an interview earlier this week.

South Carolina Republican Party Chairman Matt Moore gave credence to the anti-Trump claims.

“Breaking South Carolina’s presidential primary ballot pledge raises some unanswered legal questions that no one person can answer,” he told TIME. “However, a court or national convention Committee on Contests could resolve them. It could put delegates in jeopardy.”

2. It just says that the delegates are not bound, not that they are forbidden to vote for someone.
