The point is that these SHOULDN’T be the rules. And millions of people are FINALLY realizing that.

Very good.

Now how in the world is that Ted Cruz' fault? He is just playing by the rules.

You, know, like Trump did with Kelo and eminent domain (well, sorta, Trump tried to hire the woman's attorney while the case was in progress, and that was a foul, imho). Few here would argue in favor of Kelo, but many seem to think what Trump did was okay (except the part about trying to hire her attorney).

That woman shortly after sold the place for far less than Trump offered.
So much for staying there I guess.

Simple. When a large percentage of voters are sick and tired of the existing political culture, and view its "rules" as opposed to their interests, then taking advantage of the rules tends to annoy the voters.

Remember the House banking scandal? The House members who were using that bank were following the rules, but once the public learned what the "rules" were they weren't too happy about them. And a number of politicians found themselves in political hot water.

Annoying voters is rarely a good way to win election.

I don’t buy that exactly

The Republican establishment is helping him in these non election primaries

They even brag about it

The narrative then becomes “oh Ted just works harder or has a great ground game”

When the truth is the GOPe steers any delegates they have the power to his way

Anything and I mean anything to stop Trump

But it’s not working and folks are pushing back
