I disagree with you, completely.
What you are saying, is what Cruz is determined to do.
Meanwhile Trump is winning in VOTES. Big time.
Don’t get mad if Trump ends up losing because he was either too lazy or didn’t take the process serious enough to put together a legit ground game. But I’m sure you will. And then accuse Cruz of cheating.
Bush Sr, Dole, Bush Jr, McCain, Romney, now Trump. I’m so tired of us being told that we can’t have a conservative nominee. Trump is just the latest manifestation of the predilection to nominate a more left-ish candidate. Trump won’t be as bad as Bernie or Hillary, but he WILL be just another liberal Republican, again.
Most of the delegates cruz is getting may have gone to someone else like Rubio, Carson, etc. ...the important thing to remember is that the Majority of votes HAVE NOT gone to Trump. Not even close.
He can win all the votes he wants, but if he has not mastered the delegate strategy, he’s going to loose out. He could win a majority of the popular vote in the general, yet lose the electoral college and thus the presidency. No sense in crying. Them’s the rules. Want a different outcome? Learn the tactical warfare, or change the rules (several years ago at country conventions.)
