You realize this disenfranchises the majority of state voters.

If there are 10 candidates and the winner takes less than 30% of the votes with the rest proportioned among the other 9, the 70% who did not vote for him have their will ignored.

Why not a proportional system? You win 29%, you get 29% of the delegates, etc.

Every state is not winner take all in the general election.

What if no candidate has a majority of the delegates? The GOP should nominate a candidate with 40% of the popular vote?
