Have you guys wondered how Trump ended up with 47 percent of the delegates, yet, prior to Wisconsin, had won only around 37 percent of the vote?

The rules.

I didn't hear the other candidates whining when the rules worked in Donald's favor.

6 hours later and still not a single shrieking Trumpanzee has repsonded to your post.

Why didn't Cruz or Rubio or Kasich or Carson complain about how Donald was cheating because he was getting 50%, 50%+ and especially 100% of a state's first-ballot delegates despite getting as little as 30% of the votes in some states?

Because those were the rules.

Rush is talking about this today - seems I understated the advantage Trump has enjoyed due to the rules, its 22% more delegates than votes, not 10% more.

The nonsense out here in recent months is quite revealing

Suddenly we have ‘rules’ which Trump does not understand so throw him out.

These ‘rules’ now also revealed are indeed quite unlikely to endear support from your average Voter.

You can insult and revel in your very short term victories from now unto ever-after or Kingdom Come but the notion that a candidate is ‘winning’ by virtue of denying Voters the opportunity to participate in the process is completely screwy.

You guys are done, but incredibly, you cannot see it yet.
