under the old rule (pre kookpaul) it was a PLURALITY of the delegates and five states.
Makes me sick to hear and see , even on here people saying the establishment rigged rules is OK, but if this was happening to cruz by Kasich or anyone else they would be outraged.
The same people who have no problem with these rules now are the same people who was against the establishment and now are for them to stop Trump.
It is disgusting and the people who support this are no better than the left wing hypocrites.
Remember this when he tried to state it was Trump who was the insider and now he is that guy .
“Let me encourage other members of the establishment: Keep supporting Donald Trump because every time you do it, what it is doing is telling conservatives all over the country is where you stand and who stands with you”.
- Ted Cruz, New Hampshire stump speech
It was a plurality of delegates in 5 states to have your name entered into nomination at the convention; it was never a plurality of delegates to win the nomination.
That was 40B. Rule 40 has always been nominee must have majority of delegates (1237).
“under the old rule (pre kookpaul) it was a PLURALITY of the delegates and five states.”
Completely and utterly false. It has been a MAJORITY of delegates for 160+ years.
