“Yes, I’d much, much rather have a candidate that won the most votes from the grassroots and some hack that has to rely on winning with help from the GOP establishment and endlessly changing and corrupt rules.”

According to the facts, Trump is getting MORE delegates than he deserves according to the popular vote ....


Trump now leads the Republican field with 756 delegates — or 45 percent of all delegates awarded to date. Yet he has won about 37 percent of all votes in the primaries, according to the NBC analysis, meaning Trump’s delegate support is greater than his actual support from voters.

For each percentage point of total primary votes that Trump has won, he has been awarded 1.22 percent of the total delegates.

In other words, as a matter of Republican Party math, Trump has been awarded a delegate bonus of 22 percent above his raw support from voters.

The rules were designed to give the GOP front runner a leg up. Unfortunately for the establishment, they thought it would be Jeb Bush... They hadn’t counted on Donald Trump taking off as he did.
