CNN reports the Indiana GOP wanted to hide the names until the Republican National Committee certified the delegates and the RNC mandates that state parties must send a list of their delegates or “slates” at least 45 days before the convention in Cleveland.
Trump started to give Cruz advice about New York City, and asked him if he was writing it down. A recent Quinnipiac University poll places Trump in the lead with 55% support, followed by Ohio Gov. John Kasich with 20% support and Cruz with 19%.
In addition, Trump’s campaign arranged a meeting in Washington of about a dozen U.S. legislators as the fierce anti-establishment candidate tries to build more relationships inside Washington and broaden his appeal.
A supporter waves a sign as Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump speaks during a campaign rally in Pittsburgh Wednesday. “I’ve been on that show many times so I thought I’d help you out and do a pre-interview”, Jimmy’s “Donald” tells Ted, who responds, “I appreciate you being the bigger man, setting up Jimmy’s next line perfectly”. “We are calling all around the state”, he said.

So it may be Kasich by default or some other senior Republican like Mitt Romney who is willing to take one for the team.
