There is no such thing as Super (unbound) delegates in a republic.
Go to Ripon and tell that to Abe Lincoln.
How are unbound and super delegates representative of the people? Answer they are not.
What butt boy will offer to be his vp?
The real test tonight is if he can get over 50%. Then we can put at least one conspiracy theory to rest.
Liberals for Trump. Who would have guessed?
First of all, when it comes to conservative ideals, I doubt that I differ greatly from you. However, when you write, “The fact it may be in the rules doesn’t make it morally right. That’s the same logic as saying gay marriage is legal so it’s ok. Situational ethics,” there is so much in there I cannot agree with that I decided to reply.
1. It may well be that certain rules or even laws are, in fact, morally wrong. But to ignore, neglect or defy them is not an option for the Christian (sorry, I can only look at this from my own perspective). To work for their lawful change is entirely another thing. If you consider the present rules of the GOP to be immoral, you will have every opportunity to remedy that if Trump wins under the existing set of rules. That is one of the reasons I would like to see a non-GOPe nominee, who will be able to reframe the way the party operates. Or do you favor changing the rules in midstream wise? What if to do so would in the future benefit someone or something you do not now perceive that is far more destructive to us all?
2. It is not the same logic as gay marriage. What is more, just because gay marriage is legal, does not make it ok, moral, right or just. Abortion has been legal for four decades. It remains, and will always remain, not ok, immoral, wrong, and unjust. I have little respect for, or interest in, any aspirant for political office who does not take that position. Abortion is evil, unless and until it truly - truly! - is therapeutic, that is, to save the life of the mother ... which is very rare. Besides which, such abortion has never been illegal. Gay marriage is unnatural, immoral, and destructive of human society, as we will learn going forward if we continue on our current trajectory. Hopefully, we will as a society recognize this in time to avoid the worst consequences (but I am doubtful).
3. This is not situational ethics. You need to do some reading on this. To be sure, situational ethics has prepared the way for the present and fashionable rejection of centuries-old mores, but here you are mixing apples with oranges. There is a difference between an individual’s flexible perceptions of right and wrong, that is, situational ethics, and a societies determination of lawful and unlawful, right and wrong.
Finally, a civil society must have laws and rules. Without laws and rules there is no society, only anarchy, which will have even greater negative fallout. Bottom line: It is not only important for the right party/politics to win, but important also how they win.
Here is a political argument for you. Cruz was a staffer on the Bush campaign and this year he hired Neil Bush as his campaign finance advisor. The same Neil Bush who cheated millions of dollars out of the Silverado savings and loan bank that he owned in Texas.
Now if this doesn’t screen establishment controlled front man, I don’t know what does. There are thousands of people who would make a better advisor, but no, Cruz had to get a Bush on his team. No reason for it other than he is in bed with the establishment elite and was promised favors.

And beating bush at the Supreme Court on Medellin shouts anti establishment more than trump can imagine
Bush broke his no politics rule just to say he dislikes Cruz.
Cruz is probably the only person bush dislikes.
Ted will continue in defeat tilting windmills
DRUDGE REPORT: NEW YORK EXIT POLLS:
CLINTON 54% SANDERS 46%
TRUMP 61% KASICH 24% CRUZ 15%
*CLINTON 61% SANDERS 39%
*TRUMP 63% KASICH 22% CRUZ 14%
60%. So much for the GOP rigging the vote theory.
What’s the difference between Cruz and a Democrat?
Democrats get the dead voter vote
Cruz gets the no voter vote
They meant to say “...end Ted Cruz’s stealing streak” in the headline.
And he did...BIG TIME!!!!!!
Looks like TED CRUZ received WAY more votes in his State than Donald did in his:
“Trump got 330k in New York....LOL....Ted Cruz got 532k in Wisconsin.....and 1.2 million in Texas!!!”
