Problem is any scenario where Trump has 1,000 - 1,100 delegates and gets canned at the convention runs the risk of him running as a third party.
His argument, and its a good one, is that Trump is the people choice (at this point) given how many more votes he has than anyone else. Getting in shady delegate dealings can make a mess for the party.

The fascinating thing about a brokered convention is where the line is really drawn. Like I know you need 1237, but are they actually going to go against voters wishes if he has say 1100? How about 1050 or 1000? I don't have a clue where the line would be, but at some point you have to think that going against the results of the primaries just causes problems. Here they have elected a guy with a very clear plurality and the establishment just doesn't want him, but there's a risk in just doing whatever you want anyway, right?
