So you win the state and the loser ends up more delegates, really. This is disgusting and disturbing.

So you win Florida with 45.7% of the vote and you end up with 100% of the delegates. This is disgusting and disturbing.

See? Works both ways. Stop whining.

At least people voted in Florida

To gain delegates without votes is unethical.

If you can’t understand the difference I can’t explain it to you

I am sorry, but when a ballot looks like this:

_ Donald Trump
_ Ted Cruz
_ John Kasich

But the vote is counted like this:

_ Cruz Delegate
_ Cruz Delegate
_ Cruz Delegate

That is quite a bit different than a state deciding to do winner take all.

This is an obvious universal moral difference that is only possible to deny in the special case of one rationalizing the cheating of voters by those who assign delegates because it favors a losing candidate they want to see win.

What Cruz supporters call "whining" is has given Trump a bump. The question is, can the delegate assignment corruption be applied in enough cases to counter this bump? It will be interesting to see the race between cheating and outrage at the cheating. I am rooting for the outrage winning.

So you win the general election with 45.7% of the vote and you end up with 100% of the country. That is disgusting and disturbing.

Main thing is once you win the delegates they should be yours and not subject to manipulation. Also every state should have a primary so that everyone gets a chance to vote. if Jeb Bush was still in the contest, your guy would not be getting most of the delegates he has been getting because the tactics used to get Cruz delegates would be used to get Jeb’s slate.
