Okay, you are right. Trump right now has 37.11% of the popular vote compared to Ted’s 27.29%.

The principle remains the same. A man with 27% wants to nullify the votes of the 37%.

Ted is a little rat bastard.

Ted has just over 1/4th of the votes, and yet the GOPe/RNC argument is that Ted should get the nomination because he may be better at redirecting delegates.

And you fall for it hook line and sinker.

This is the same RNC/GOPe Conservatives have been railing against for decades, and here you are carrying their water.

Shameful...

It’s not nullification. It’s called democracy.

In most elections, you eventually have to win 50% to win an election. Sometimes elections go to a runoff for that reason.

Really, what I would prefer would be a runoff between Cruz and Trump nationwide, but that can’t happen, so we are left with a scramble of delegates. The delegates are what is important, not the popular vote. Nothing shady, that’s the nature of the beast.

BTW, when we go to a national election, it’s a electoral game.

Should we invalidate the results of the 2000 election and give it to Gore, because he won the popular vote?

100 - 65 = 35% for other than Trump or Cruz. Do you want all the candidates that comprise that 35% nominated at the convention?
