7th District (Radnor) Republicans: Know your delegates

In Radnor and probably throughout Pennsylvania's 7th Congressional District, registered Republicans such as myself are getting sample ballots for Tuesday's primary identifying these individuals as the endorsed candidates for the delegates to the convention:

Michael Puppio

Robert J. Willert

Joan Miller

When I inquired I was told that two other individuals will also be on the ballot:

Jan Ting

Ralph Wike III

Who should you vote for? Per my local party, all 3 endorsed candidates will "represent" the winner of the 7th Congressional District on the first round and then will vote for "whoever is the most electable of the 3 candidates". One news source (http://www.readingeagle.com/news/article/where-the-7th-congressional-del...) indicating that Ting is not pledged to vote in a specific way while Wike is pledged to Trump. However, there is a pro-Trump website claiming Ting is a Trump delegate (http://www.kellerfordelegate.com/#!know-your-delegates/s4vv7) and another website from a news service claiming the same thing (http://www.politicspa.com/exclusive-trumps-pa-delegates-slate/74749/). At this point I believe the weight of evidence is probably leaning toward Ting being pro-Trump. However, the conflicting reports make decision making hard.

In summary, there is no clear anti-Trump candidate on the ballot. The endorsed candidates pledge to vote for the most electable candidate could be taken in light of polling to indicate that they would favor Kasich after the initial round of voting. If anyone has more information on how polls look in the 7th District or has additional relevant information I will do my best to revise this in as timely a fashion as possible.
