But heres the thing: Democratic legitimacy is not just about following the rules as written. Its 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.

"willing to let it slide as long as it seems to be helping their guy " 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?
