So you are fine with the GOPe making a backroom deal to put their candidate in place of someone the people picked? Unbelievable.

Wrong. The delegates forming a majority to nominate a candidate is not a back room deal. It's what the convention is for. If no candidate has a majority then some of them have to change their alignment in order to get one. You just think that for some reason it should automatically be the candidate with the highest number of delegates, even though it isn't a majority. But that's not right and makes no sense. The candidate should be whichever one a majority of the delegates can agree to.
