The people in Wyoming, CO, etc. are in charge of their state’s delegate selection

This system basically disenfranchises everyone with a job, or who is not a raving neurotic. When you have people having to jump through all kinds of hoops and actually paying fees just to be involved, you've left the realm of a real democratic system and are, instead, leaving us to the whims of party officials, retirees and the jobless.

America may be actually in need of something that looks more like the French revolution, to address a complaint that has been made about Trump.

Because the high mindedness of indirection hasn’t worked very well for the last few decades. Cruz is assuming the presence of an elite wisdom that just isn’t there — and that gives us a government that is monstrously out of touch with the little guy. Better that we get closer to a true plebiscite, which is still on the main more conservative than what we have now with our indirectly appointed government.

You also just described the general e l section. You don't think the sparse amount of people in Wyoming don't feel disenfranchised by the large number of electoral college voters in New York and California ?
It is simply our system.
Anyone smart enough and trying to win will understand the systemand try to win. Trump simply felt the small number of delegates in Wyoming weren't worth leaving his fight for delegates in New York for. Cruz did. It's a numbers game, and those were too small for Trump to care about. He is correct.
But for him to act like he is then shocked and angered by the loss is mere catering to the anger of his supporters. Once again smart of Trump. But also hypocritical.
