“But here’s the thing: Democratic legitimacy is not just about following the rules as written. It’s about having a set of rules designed to produce a result in line with voter preferences. In some states, the Republican nominating rules are designed to ignore the will of the voters.”

From the article

That is where Cruz really stepped in it. Cruz is smart enough to figure out the rules and ignores the bigger picture.

Don't mistake my comment as an endorsement of the process. However, it is the process, the rules were published ahead of time and those rules were followed.

That's a pretty good definition of "fair", don't you think?
