One more “will of the people be damned” supporter. Nice.

I guess any way Ted gets in is good with you.

Zero integrity.

The rules that govern how delegates are divided in primary states are not straight forward. I think it surprises many people ( both democrats and republicans) that winning the popular vote in the primary does not mean you win all or even a majority of that state’s delegates. The rules are confusing but those appear to be the rules. If people are upset with the rules then they should petition to change them. One benefit of a lawsuit on Trump’s behalf might be that the laws regarding the distribution of delegates will be brought into the light for all to see. If Trump was in Cruz’s position don’t you think he’d be doing whatever he could legally to get as many delegates as possible?

This makes the Republican party look like....well.....the Republican Party. The people’s vote really doesn’t matter. Remember the 2014 Mississippi Senate Race?

I’m really entertained by the medias’ take on this. A 3%+ win at the polls is now called “a tie”, and “rules are rules”.

“Zero integrity.”

Blood sport. Deal with it. They are crucifying Cruz and he is taking it in stride. I really do not care whether the nominee is Cruz or Trump. All I know is whoever our candidate is, goes into the general with some serious issues.

It's not a "Democracy," it's a "Representative Republic." And Trump's running for the head of the latter category. The will of the people is to be expressed indirectly, through predefined channels and predefined rules. Can't an Ivy league education understand that? Can't a poor billionaire afford the campaign infrastructure to work within the system? A pure democracy was antithetical to the founding fathers and should not be now held up as the norm. Mobs deserve to be treated as such, if necessary up to the traditional remedy of a whiff of grapeshot.
