“...Cruz and Kasich also lose over half of the delegates. So?...”
Again. I can keep explaining it to you, but I can’t understand it *FOR* you... Cruz or Kasich are beside the point, which is that trump consistently loses over half the electorate. If you have educated yourself on “contested” vs “brokered” elections, then you are smart enough to understand what that entails for all remaining candidates at the convention. If trump can’t convince over half the electorate to pledge him over half the delegates, then he is not *entitled* to the nomination. If he wants it, he has to earn it. So far, he’s *not* earning it. He’s winning primaries in a crowded field and all that will get him is a contested primary. Righteously contested too.
I have no problems with Trump earning his delegates. You have an asinine list of percentages that can effectively apply to all candidates, but least of all to Trump, who has won the most delegates to date. Trump is the most likely to break 1,237 of anyone running.
For anyone to get the majority in subsequent rounds, it will be against what the voters had selected, because the voters selected what was insufficient for a majority or for the proportionate vote tally that had existed.
