Well, the interesting part of the story is John Yob. He traveled with his wife Erica, and another couple (Ethan and Lindsey Eilon) from the mainland to the US Virgin Islands in late December or January. John, Erica, and Lindsey were elected as delegates, so they comprise half the delegation. John Yob is a Republican party campaign guy who worked for the presidential campaigns of Rand Paul, Rick Santorum, and John McCain, along with various statewide campaigns in Michigan. He has a lot of experience working conventions in Michigan, and just published a book called "Chaos: The Outsider's Guide to a Contested Republican National Convention." Being a delegate doesn't just let him hang out in Cleveland and cast his vote, it lets him put motions on the floor, try to organize other delegates, and so forth.

There's a court case about whether Yob's people fall under the 90-day residency requirement to be able to vote and serve as delegates, and whether that restriction is even constitutional. It will be decided on March 22. If those 3 people are removed, then the alternates would replace them and Rubio would pick up a pledged delegate. But like I said, I don't think Yob wanted to be a delegate just so he could vote for his preferred candidate and hear a bunch of speeches.

Based on his Twitter feed, he seems to lean more Trump than Cruz, but honestly I think he just wants to be at the RNC because he lives for the idea of a contested convention that sticks it to The Man. He literally wrote the book on it.
