The Montana Republican Party should reschedule their Delegate Selection Committee to after the primary and based on the winning primary candidate.
On May 14th the Montana Republican Party has scheduled a Delegate Selection Convention. With the Montana Primary being held on June 7th, scheduling the delegate convention before the primary is a mistake. The results of the primary should determine the selection of the delegates. If Donald Trump or Ted Cruz win the most votes in the Montana Primary then the delegate selected should be individuals who support them. If there is a brokered convention, as expected, the second ballot and maybe even the third ballot could determine the winner.
By hosting the delegate convention before June 7th no one knows the outcome of the primary. That means that all of the delegates selected early might even be supporters for Jeb Bush, Paul Ryan, or Mitt Romney. They could easily vote for one of these three on the second and following ballots and maybe, just maybe, that could be the reason why delegates will be selected on May 14th and ahead of the primary.
