They are not stolen and this is absolutely nothing new. Bottom line is where you can finding delegates to vote for you after the first round, or unbound who can vote for you on the first, and maybe vote the way you want on rules. This is why Trump just hired the new guy because this was not being done. Trump accused Cruz of stealing in LA - not so but it is a pretty safe bet not many Rubio delegates will go with Trump. If Trump continues with his collapse it is remotely possible Cruz could win 1237. If no one wins 1237 Cruz will win on the second round with Rubio and Kasich delegates. The blame is on Trump for his trashing of the other candidates, media and other conservatives. As Sykes said it was “weapon-grade stupid” for Trump to bash Walker.
I get what you’re saying. If it’s all fair game, then so be it. Having said that, I still think it’s a very strange system.
