As usual, the majority of the voters do not want Trump, but they are split among too many candidates. Frustrating. This is how we could end up with a nominee that most of the party does not want.

Too many? There’s only four...the other three are a drag on Trump.

And an even higher percentage of the majority don't want Cruz.

See how math works?

I’m really tired of this argument. And I don’t understand the hand wringing.

A larger majority of republicans don’t want Ted, don’t want John, and don’t want Marco.

Talking points of the day. All non-Trump voters are not protest votes. Many of them would probably go to Trump if their candidate dropped out. By this stupid reasoning, 75% of voters don't want Cruz, 80 and 90% don't want Kasich.

Turn the tv off and slowly back away. Their drivel is starting to affect your mind.

Loll. Bitter. Get used to it. You had a weak candidate that the south said get lost. It’s pathetic how you want others to get out so that your candidate can win. Do you hear yourself? Very embarrassing for you. If Cruz was strong, he could win with 17 candidates. You decided to support a weak candidate.

A majority of Voters don’t want Trump but yet they gave him solid victories in 15 states, which is more than all the others combined.

Get a grip dude.

Lessee, using your "logic", an even larger majority of voters do not want Cruz, and, similarly, even larger majorities also do not want Rubio or Kasich.

If I'm not mistaken, this exact same situation has occurred numerous times throughout the last 150+ years or so...

So your hand-wringing observation that "this is how we could end up with a nominee that most of the party does not want" has been true many times throughout history.

There's nothing whatsoever unusual or special about this situation, the fact that there is a 4-man race going on at the moment, and that consequently no single candidate is supported by a majority of voters.

When more candidates withdraw and the race becomes 2-man, than (and only then) will we get to see where the voters go with respect to the the new situation, etc.

In summary, the current situation is relatively common; this is the way the Republican party has set their nomination rules, and it's nothing to get particularly hysterical about...
