>Specify the rule or law, either Party, civil or criminal, that his campaign has broken. Go ahead. You’ve made the “stolen” charge, now. Let’s see you back it up .

Talking like a lawyer, eh? Long before there was the law, there was tradition. And before there was tradition there was custom. The law is often a shoddy embodiment of custom and tradition created to keep lawyers employed. It often doesn’t meet the peoples definition of what most of us fundamentally view as right and wrong.

For example murdering a child through abortion is called “legal” but to most of us it’s murder. Likewise when Ted Cruz steals our votes he’s not breaking the law, but rather violating long held custom and tradition. Cruz will never be put in jail for his violation of these customs and traditions, but he will surely pay a price for his theft in public opinion.

People will ignore this at their own peril. Simplistically thinking that filling stadiums and winning primaries and calling into CNN/MSNBC etc, without addressing the intracies of state party selection procedures that have been around for years and all have agreed to in advance, does not a Nominee make. I can't stand them, but boy did (even) the jackass Politico ever hit it over the fence today:

"It’s an extension of a losing streak for Trump that threatens the mogul’s odds of winning the Republican nomination at what is increasingly likely to be a contested convention in July. Trump is close to falling short of enough support in the state-level primaries and caucuses to clinch the nomination outright, meaning his fate would be determined by delegates in Cleveland. Yet Trump’s thinly staffed operations, even in the states he carried easily in February and March primaries, have left little organization behind to support delegate candidates. In addition to the congressional-district routs in South Carolina and Colorado, he’s been dealt setbacks in Indiana, North Dakota, Tennessee, Louisiana, South Dakota, and Georgia. Massachusetts is also shaping up as a delegate battleground, despite Trump’s dominance of the popular vote there. Trump has primarily lost delegate races to Cruz, whose superior organization, months of preparatory work and resonance among the GOP’s activist base has helped him consolidate support in the insider-oriented battle for delegates. Trump has begun mobilizing for a delegate push in recent days, empowering Manafort, a veteran of past convention battles, to lead his effort, but the 67-year-old lobbyist and political consultant is still playing catch-up".

Alright, reality check. Does THIS sound like "stealing" and "cheating" to y
