Steak dinners, vacations, etc. could potentially be awaiting the unpledged delegates headed to the RNC. We know Trump has lots of assets and Cruzich would also push to win these lucky persons over. What price do you reckon would be put on these most vital of votes?

The actual unbound ones who decide their own vote, the ones that are linked to some power broker somewhere, or the ones who were handpicked by Ted Cruz?

Anyway, it depends on the specific person, but the vast majority of them are ideological fanatics, and the price is having conformed to the ideology for the longest time with the fewest missteps. For the rest, enough for either them or their broker to live comfortably for the remainder of their lives, so I would say a few million.

This is such a minefield for Trump.

One, bought delegates have no reason to stay bought. What is Trump gonna do? Slap them with a sea bass?

Two, "delegate asserts that Trump offered him a cool mill to vote for him".
