I grasp a few truths that you do not.

I don’t compulsively bash on the candidate that is not my choice, nor do I incessantly over-hype my choice of candidate.

I watch what is going on, and I don’t like that one candidate is clearly the loser yet sneaks around behind the scenes trying to influence the outcome.

I read the following today, and I agree with it;

“Thousands of people vote for a candidate, and the delegates are their proxy to the convention. The delegates therefore should represent their voters.”

Yet we know Cruz is trying to run a Ron Paul style delegate game.

Nobody’s sneaking around.....if Trump had of been on top of the game he would also have been working the delegates...he wasn’t...that’s his failure...he had fielded no ground game to pull it off, and refused to do so until recently.

You say the delegates ‘should’ represent their voters...well that depends on how the state arranges bound and unbound delegates..and ‘when’ or ‘if’ they are free to vote as they wish at convention..

Most are bound in the first ballot...which is why Trump needs to get the representative delegates now before that first ballot....if he doesn’t some will be free to vote as they want in the second vote..etc.etc. no matter how many ballots must be done to obtain a winner. ...the wrangling will be hot and heavy.
