Well if we don’t like the rules, why don’t we make them change the rules? Or is it only that certain folks don’t like the rules when it doesn’t play out in their favor. I suspect that....if the roles were reversed and Trump was stumping for those Rubio delegates and getting them ...in order to beat Cruz, it would all magically and suddenly be “ok”. Right?

No, not in my book. If that's your justification for actions like this, then I assume you'd be fine with a brokered convention where Cruz is given the shaft in favor of Romney, right...I mean, it would all be according to rules?

If we're going to use a delegate system, it should be proportional to the vote, no matter who's running. We should also junk the caucuses while we're at it.

What do you mean "if" we're going to use a delegate system? We are using a delegate system, but the rules in place are rules for everyone to follow, even Trump. I really doubt that the shaft will be in favor of Romney. That's just based on rumor and speculation. Point is, it's perfectly legal for Cruz to pick up delegates that were for Rubio now. Nothing for Trump to whine about. He should have expected it if he's even half as brilliant as his supporters claim that he is.
