The article goes on to say that the delegates are more likely to vote for Trump on a second ballot if he starts to poll better against Clinton. He should work on that instead of ranting about a rigged process.

No. THEY are acting as if Trump is mounting a hostile takeover.

“HE’S TAKING OUR PORK!”

And Cruzers should work on selling Cruz instead of hysterically ranting about “Trump violence” and making blacklists.

I’m not a 100% sure but Trump is smarter than this with all the whining he is doing, probably is a strategy to get TV time and it is working, he is constantly in the news.

Trump is complaining that people do not get to vote and have a say more than anything. This article totally misrepresents his position.

He should work on that instead of ranting about a rigged process.

What you may consider "ranting" may just be smart repetitions for those who have yet to listen to him. People are still coming around to hearing what DT has been saying from the start of his Presidential campaign.

Also, about uniting the RNC/GOP/DNC, that has alreday been accomplished prior to Trump's run.

The penultimate sentence of the article reads: “The GOP is a private institution whose purpose is to nominate a candidate who can win an election to further party ideals.”

Note the two-part test: 1) be able to win in November, and 2) further party ideals.

Now, I know most Trump supporters think that the GOP no longer has ideals worth mentioning, but that simply indicates that Trump supporters shouldn’t be choosing the GOP candidate, does it not? After all, if your purpose is to change the GOP, why wouldn’t Trump supporters be in heavy attendance at all those state caucuses that Cruz keeps winning handily? Indeed, it’s Cruz who’s trying to drag the GOP back to conservative principles and is doing it quite successfully as caucus after caucus shows conclusively.

I’ve asked this in other forums and never get a sensible answer: Why should people who hate the GOP and its principles have a say in nominating the GOP candidate?

The answer, of course, is that they shouldn’t, which is why Trump will not prevail on the first ballot even if he wins 1237 delegates prior to the convention, and he will almost certainly never prevail on a later ballot.

Trump voters might well cost the GOP the election in November, just as Perot voters might have served to elect Bill Clinton in 1992, but the Perot movement is done and the GOP survived. The same will be true of the Trump movement in time.

If you like Cruz he’s whining; if you like Trump he’s strategically complaining loudly to get some benefit out of state he never had a chance in. Potatoe/potahto

They keep saying he’s being out-hustled. I say he’s simply being HUSTLED.
