2.a. He has a strong plurality and after some conference regarding staffing decisions and campaign strategy he is duly awarded the nomination.
2.b. The candidates who hold the majority of pledged delegates award them to someone in exchange for influence and that candidate now has the majority of delegates and is duly awarded the nomination.
But the superdelegates have to vote after the first round. So even if the pledged delegates coalesce after the first round, the impression will be based around how the superdelegates voted.
