“Congratulations to Ted Cruz for winning his fourth primary! Usually Donald Trump wins the primaries “

I am really tired of all this idiocy saying someone ‘wins’ a primary. Only in a winner-take-all is there a single winner.

All other primaries are proportional, meaning several people ‘win’ the primary. It is true that some get more delegates than others, but there is more than a single winner.

There have only been three primaries to date that are winner-take-all, namely, Florida(Trump), Ohio(Kasich), Arizona(Trump). None of the victors achieved a majority (+50%).

Kasich, Trump and Cruz have all ‘won’ in other primaries.

The winner is the one who has the most votes.

That is reality-deal with.
