“While Donald Trump is blasting the delegate system “

He should be thanking the system that gives him 22% more delegates in proportion to the individual voting ...

Will The Donald serve Trump Cheese to go with the Trump Whine about the unfairness of Cruz scooping up these delegates too?

Let the bidding begin!

Methinks Little Rubio is having a complete meltdown.

Will not run for Senate reelection or for FL Governor.

Rubio gives up on Senate: ‘He hates it’

Marco Rubio: 'I'm not running for governor of Florida'

“I’m going to be a private citizen in January.”

I support Trump.

But he needs to play the game by the rules with regard to these delegates, which means wooing them....rather than moaning about Cruz wooing them.

We are all on notice. There are REAL votes for the nomination up for grabs. RIGHT NOW.

Trump should call them personally. Because you can be that Cruz will be doing so.

I raised a similar question in a related thread yesterday:

Is that also true of Kasich's delegates, since he very likely will not hit the 8 state majorities per Rule 40?

Rubio has 173. Kasich has 144. That could put 317 in play. Add in those for the other withdrawn candidates is 16 more. And add in the uncommitted, currently 64. That adds up to 397 'loose' delegates. And there are still 789 delegates in states that have yet to hold primaries.

Based on 'hard' delegate count at thegreenpapers.com.

Of course, the Rules Committee is yet to meet for the 2016 Convention and could mullify many of the current arguments.

Why are not they just allotted according to the voting summary? IMHO this is one of the things wrong with the current system. It leaves the wishes of the voters out of the equation. No way should they be sold to the highest bidder.
