I know the Trump fanboys will be butt hurt, but if he can't win the nomination outright (because the majority of primary voters voted against him) then a majority of the delegates deciding on a another candidate isn't denying Trump something he won fair and square.
It can only happen if Trump can't win a majority of delegates in the primary. Trump winning 35% of the vote means 65% of the voters didn't want him.

Right. I still think Trump would win on succeeding ballots because I don’t think enough would break for Cruz, but you never know. But if Trump goes in with only 35-40% of the votes and can’t get enough to win on a later ballot, there’s no unfairness/illegitimacy to someone else being selected.

But if the other 65% was split three ways, neither of the three should be considered. Enter Romney, right?
