>But it is NOT CHEATING.
It is cheating. The right of the people to vote for their candidates is at the core of our system. Buying delegates like Cruz does isn’t.

Really? Let’s talk about the other states that Trump won.
Is it “fair” that Trump should receive all fifty delegates in South Carolina with only 32.5% of the vote, while Marco Rubio receives less than half of Minnesota’s delegates though winning with 36.5% of the vote, and while Ted Cruz receives only 60% of the delegates in Kansas despite earning 48.2% of the vote?
Is it “fair” that Trump gets 100% of the delegates for 45.7% of the vote (1,077,221 votes) in Florida, while Cruz gets only 67% of the delegates for 43.8% of the vote (1,239,370 votes) in Texas, or 52% of the delegates for 45.9% of the vote in Maine?
Shouldn’t other candidates be whining about the unfairness of these Trump-friendly results? No — because they knew the rules, just as Trump knew the rules in Colorado.
Cruz did not “BUY” the delegates ( as in BRIBE ). He took the time to go there, woe them, convinced them the he was the candidate for the GP. Trump did not bother to go there. And it is Cruz’s fault? No it was not.
And no it was NOT CHEATING. He played by the rules. The rules that were known by all and hidden to none.
