Ted Cruz mocked Donald Trump for "a lot of whining" and "cursing" over losing delegates to the Texas senator on the campaign trail.

Is Cruz also directing his contempt to the 1,000,000 Colorado voters who were disenfranchised? Are they whining and cursing, too?

Ignoring the wishes of the voters seems to me to be corrupt. Would it not have been better to let the people vote, and legitimately then taking the lion's share instead of taking it all and displaying a lack of integrity?

Would not a real leader reject a corrupt process and insist on supporting the voters? Is Cruz really presidential material? What is the difference between Democrats and Republicans in this situation?

"Is Cruz also directing his contempt to the 1,000,000 Colorado voters who were disenfranchised? "

Around 1,300,000 voters in Florida voted against Trump, yet Trump with only 46% of the vote got all 99 delegates. How is that not disenfranchisement of those 1.3 million voters?

In Texas, where it was Cruz who won the plurality, and Trump only got 27% of the vote, Trump still gained 31% of the available delegates. If Florida is fair, then explain how the Texas outcome is fair.

Rules cut both ways, and yet only Trump whines and complains when they go against him.

If you really want a fair process, then states should re-vote after a candidate with a significant number of votes drops out.

But that's impractical, and a big part of the reason for the delegate process... to help ensure that candidates who can't put together a majority consensus don't win simply because the majority who dislikes them takes too long to agree on who is better.
