I’m as big a Trump supporter as there is.

But I was very outspoken in 2012 about not calling somebody with less than 50% support a “winner”, and I still believe that.

Plurality voting MIGHT have a place in a final contest, where somebody gets the seat and the others don’t (personally, I prefer runoffs). But for a party nomination?

I believe the convention should go back to a 2/3 rule (if more than 1/3 of the delegates can’t be convinced to support you, you’re going to lose), and ALL delegates to the convention should be proportionally allocated. I would be OK with “winner take all” IF “winner” meant >50%.

But, just as with Romney, if 65% of the voters want someone else, you’re not really a “winner”.
