Most of the comments you mentioned merely stated that the delegates are bound to a given candidate, which is true (for the first vote), or saying that the elites could cheat to get their guy (also true, as with any process), or that the rules were changed to favor a less-popular candidate in a splintered field, and that the some rules can still yet be changed again, also true.

You want to believe that only you understand the intricacies of the process amidst a sea of ignorant trumpanzees, but in reality nobody has indicated a lack of understanding as to how the a nominee is chosen.

We choose the delegates because they have the same view that we have. No matter if Trump is the front runner if he doesn’t have the majority of the vote then he doesn’t represent the Majority of the party’s votes. The primary makes sure that all our votes count in the end not just Trump supporters votes.
