The legal rules surrounding what delegates can and cannot accept are fuzzy and yet one more obstacle for political outsiders who will have to tread carefully to avoid crossing any legal lines. The Post reports that "delegates cannot take money from corporations, labor unions, federal contractors or foreign nationals. But an individual donor is permitted to give a delegate unlimited sums to support his or her efforts to get selected to go to the convention."
The New York Times recalled in 1976, the era of the last contested convention, President Ford wined and dined delegates at the White House and flew them on Air Force One. This time around, it is unclear how the Cruz or Trump campaigns would attempt to influence delegates.

If Trump offered you $ 10,000 - $ 20,000 to vote for him, would you agree to it?
