For ALL of them, what's 'fair' is whatever outcome results in them as the nominee. None of them care about anything beyond that.

But there supporters do care who is the nominee. If Trump is cheated out of the nomination after being the frontrunner since July, won the most states, delegates, and votes by far and is denied the nomination, the GOP will pay a terrible price in November. Either the primaries mean something or they do not. The reason that Trump is in the lead is because people are upset with the political class. They want an outsider.

If you buy the premise that Cruz is an outsider coupled with Trump, then the majority of the voters (54%) have voted for either Trunp or Cruz. Will you consider it FAIR if neither one is the nominee?

Will you consider it FAIR if neither one is the nominee?

If a majority of the assembled GOP delegates want to pick Donald Trump or Ted Cruz or John Kasich or Mitt Romney or Paul Ryan or Dan Quayle or any registered Republican over 35 with a pulse, yes, I consider it fair. Will I personally be happy about most of those? No. Will I vote for most of those? Probably not. Is it undemocratic to select someone who didn't even participate in the primaries? Yes. Is it recipe for disaster in November? Probably. But fair? Yes, if it's done according to the rules, yes, it's fair.
