I'm a Trump supporter and I know how the system works. I'm familiar with grassroots politics, the delegate system, electoral laws, etc.. I'm not whining about the rules. Never have, never will.
Your post however indicates a complete ignorance of the corruption that exists within our political system today, and ignores the reality that the delegate system was introduced as a protection mechanism in both political parties as a means to protect the status quo. That has been created by a dynamic set of rules, capable of being changed by party insiders at the state and federal levels.
In short: the delegate system introduced in the 1970's which was designed to put a competitive structure around electing a President isn't the same delegate system we have today. The rules can change every election cycle (as they did in 2012, designed to lock out Ron Paul) and are seemingly at the will of party insiders, again at the state and federal level.
To play the "Ted Cruz followed the rules and won" card simply points to Cruz as being a "party insider" capable of following/bending the rules to reach the desired end. In today's world, that doesn't play with a pissed off electorate, as Ted Cruz and likely yourself are figuring out.
Trump could have played by the rules and won a large number of delegates without being a party insider. All he had to do was show up and care. He did neither. This is either a result of ignorance, indifference, or entitlement. Regardless of the reason, this should be a flashing red light that your chosen candidate isn't what's being advertised.
Instead of demonizing Ted or the party over a system that has been in place for decades, or in some cases more than 100 years, you should be questioning your candidate as to why he chooses to whine and hurl baseless accusations when he didn't even bother showing up. Like Trump said about the primary process: “Don’t forget, I only complain about the ones where we have difficulty.”
Its just not fair when the winner who always wins, loses. Its not fair- I tell you, it's a crime against nature and an upsetting of the laws of nature. Donald always wins, even when he rigs it so, but it is morally justified when rigs it because he is a winner who wins so often he gets tired of winning. the Donald is entitled to be the supreme potentate of the universe and anything that is not in support of his deification is anathema and clearly evidence of a rigged system by the establishment illuminiti who are controlled by aliens from the planet Rinophobia outside our galaxy via a brain wave flux capacitor. The idea that a constitutional republic brings maximum liberty is of course false, only the worship of the self-exalted and mighty Trump can bring greatness to America and peace to the planet. But the alien's establishment slaves stand in the way of the great Trump magnificent reign. If only more people protected their brains with anti-rino tin foil hats, then more would see that Trump is truly a demi-god sent to us from the Olympus and ignoramus to save America from the RINO aliens to rule us with an amoral benevolent totalitarian Reich.
