I’m not saying change the rule for Trump.

I’m saying nominate the person the base gives the most delegates to.

That’s it.

It’s pretty easy to understand.

There is no need for you to read word what I said and present examples that don’t exist.

Respect the base or lose the base.

Real damn simple.

O.K. but can you see how, IF Rubio and Kasich's supporters say that since their candidate is no longer running, they wish to support Cruz at the convention and that gives him >50% of the delegates....the base would be giving the most delegates to Cruz???

The whole point of electing delegates is so they can represent the base at the convention if it turns out their pledged candidate can't get enough support and they have to decide on other options.

I understand that you would be mad if that happened because you really like Trump but it wouldn't be "stealing" or "cheating" or "insider manipulation" or a cause for "war". It would simply be the regular nomination process when there are multiple candidates receiving sufficient support.
