Smart People already know the election is over and Trump will be the nominee

Smart people tend not to protest because it does no good

Trump wins these districts easily

Yes. But. What was your impression of the audio link? It gets good about 10 minutes into it and traces back Cruz' team's work on mining big data and creating a powerful ground organization adapted not only the the differing state party rules, but a political marketing campaign down to the idiosyncrasies of the precinct level. Quite remarkable. I believe that is what is meant by "smart" in this context and that Trump was also catching on to this critical element of delegate selection by midstream bringing on Paul Manafort to extract his bacon from the fire after some humiliating state selection losses.

Check out the video. I think it adds to this debate of "comprehensiveness" vs. "unfair".

If you like Cruz’s double agent trojan horse delegates who would vote for Hillary if Trump wins ...

Then?

You should admire Hillary’s ‘brilliance’ with super-delegates.

Washington Post ... 4/11/16

‘Under regulations established in the 1980s, 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, including money to defray the costs of travel and lodging...’

‘Smart people tend not to protest because it does no good’

And some smart people rise to an intellectual challenge. But I have to admit — Cruz supporters are ‘uber-partizan’.
