Oh, that's right, Cruz sucked in those States! Remind me how many delegates is Cruz behind Trump? How many millions of votes?
After the next five states, Trump picks up a lot of momentum.
According to Gingrich, Trump will have the 1237 before we hit California.
Aside from the specific candidates this year, I think that many voters in this election season are finding out for the first time how convoluted the process really is - most for the first time. I know that I have been surprised several times at the machinations involved, and all of them appear designed to support the party over the people.
In PA, the primary and “loophole” votes are described as separate events, but occur on the same day. In the loophole elections, voters cast ballots for delegates who are not clearly identified on the ballot as to who they support. Only the commitments of the delegate candidates themselves link their convention votes to the voters’ expressed will once the delegates are selected.
PA may be a special case, but I for one find that the political process as currently constituted for the GOP appears to be a “party uber alles” operation.
They were voterless
These delegates haven’t been engaged in the spirituality of Ted Cruz for the last 10 months.
