He needs to win about 1,215 delegates from the primaries. There are about 2,429 total delegates. Those primaries still have to be run. Maybe there will be a campaign to defeat him there.

The delegates from each state might not be hard core Trump supporters.

The state delegates at the Republican convention will need to decide if they want a convicted criminal as their nominee.

Trump might be encouraged to withdraw when convicted. Or they might have a resolution passed that removes him from the convention ballot.
