The problem is the East is population density rich states (EV). And just like with Romney, once the East votes, so goes the country.
The problem with this delegate issue, delegates being selected in closed door meetings, against the will of voters, etc., is that you have to win votes in November. Those EVs come from popular vote; and Cruz is not carrying popular vote.
“and Cruz is not carrying popular vote.”
Were you also bummed out when algore lost the Presidency despite winning the popular vote?
