Rickey Henderson stole over 1400 bases in his MLB career, with the Athletics, Yankees, Blue Jays, Padres, Angels, Mets, Mariners, Red Sox, and Dodgers, including 130 in a single season in his fourth year. The teams that let him do it should have known better and focused on beating him by the rules. I don’t remember anyone complaining that the rules were unfair when he outplayed them. Two players, George Gore and Billy Hamilton, actually stole seven bases each in a single game - again, advancing to bases they had not “earned” in the usual way but following the rules.

Meanwhile, Trump is getting close to 50% of the delegates with only 40% of the voters. No sensible person would complain that Trump is “stealing” delegates as he gets a disproportionate share under the rules.

Who has the overwhelming majority of the actual votes?

Stop playing word games.
