National Review favors Ted Cruz, so no wonder they come up with this nonsense.

You obviously don't understand the process to call this nonsense.

Trump does not carry "the will of the people" as I've heard so often.

He's winning delegates by a plurality of votes.

The convention represents the will of the Republican Party and 40% of the delegates do not represent the will of the Republican Party.

You might consider this nonsense, but these are the facts.

Of course I understand the process. I also understand that National Review loves their boy Ted.

Of course if Ted was winning delegates by virtue of the plurality of votes you would be singing a whole different tune, and the GOPe would probably be banking on Donald to stop Ted.

But 60% do represent the will of the Republican Party. You can delude yourself into believing that they will fall in line with Ted, much like Kasich deluded himself in believing the Republican Party was behind him, and Rubio before him. After the Republican machine managed to steal Ohio for him he soon realized he was only being used to slow down Donald Trump because his influence does not extend beyond Ohio.

Ted will learn that very same lesson as well.

But as they say it ain't over til it's over and many believe Trump will end up with the necessary delegates to win on the first vote.

However, I believe the Republicans will pull out all stops in denying Trump the nomination even with the necessary delegates.
