Trump supporters seem to want a pure democracy (mob rules) rather than a representative republic...

I see no evidence of that.

Make your case, please.

I see no evidence of that.

Louisiana

Trump - 41.1 % of the vote
Cruz - 37.8 % of the vote
Rubio - 11.2 % of the vote
Kasich - 6.4 % of the vote

Both Trump and Cruz got 18 delegates

By my math 58.9 % of the voters didn't vote for Trump...

He won a plurality of votes not a majority...

I've been told time and time again Cruz is denying the "will of the people" by targeting delegates to switch support...

I think the 58.9 % of the voters who didn't vote for Trump don't consider the 41.1 % of those who voted for Trump a majority...

Claiming that a plurality of votes is a majority is akin to mob rule...
