The interests of only a plurality of voters is "diverging" from the interests of the party regulars.

If Trump has 50%+1 then he's golden. If his voters are not the majority, then they need to come to terms with that.

The point of a party is to come together on a candidate who is acceptable to the majority.

If we allow a plurality to be the victor, then the behavior of everything changes. You will see more and more candidates sticking it out to try to keep others from having a plurality. Division will increase instead of the system working towards a union.

It really sucks to feel strongly about a 35% candidate, bu that doesn't mean he is entitled to a party's nomination. Especially when he is openly hostile to the party.
