You are aware that the first few states are not winner take all. The delegates are divided according to the % of the vote. No one candidate can take 100%
For several sessions the establishment has run several candidates to control the results of the early states. With some of the players dropping out when $$ got low (about time winner take all states began)
Remember the Trump Cruz meeting at beginning? Who says Trump-Carson-Ctuz aren’t beating the establishment at their own game?
That’s the goal beating the establishment. I am rooting for the A team. Mr T and all. Really don’t care how they divide the pie in the early contests as long as they control close to.100% of the outcome with their total accumulative tally
Any attack on any of the three is petty and not constructive so I view those who attack Trump as part of the establishment problem .Same with those who attack Cruz (who I greedily want to serve for life as SC justice)
As for Carson. Hes a nice guy and very intelligent.
All primaries before March 15 are proportional representation, including Super Tuesday. (Iowa actually doesn’t pick national convention delegates until May 31st.)
March 15 and forward are mostly winner take all. I still don’t understand why Texas didn’t move the primary to March 15 and make it winner take all. It would be a great way to make a large Republican state have some control.
