There are only 3 remaining nominees in the primary. And Trump has the majority of votes in every category. Trump has much more of a majority over Kasich and Cruz and will continue to hold the majority of the 2 remaining candidates into June.

There are no other candidates left. If they were still in the race, they would STILL have a super minority of the votes. Romney and Ryan have 0% of the votes.

So in every, EVERY scenario, Trump has he majority of any one other person. You can’t total up everyone else including Romney and Ryan and say they are more popular than Trump. The will of the majority of people is Trump. That is a fact and will not change.

I’ll go through this one more time. This is not the general election. In the primaries we are trying to find a nominee that all Republicans will support in the general election. The best way to do that is to find one candidate that the majority of Republicans find acceptable and can support. The Republicans that voted for all the candidates votes count, not just the votes for the candidate that has the plurality of the vote so far.

We had a wide field and candidates have dropped out. We don’t say, “Tough luck you voted for Rubio so your vote doesn’t count now.” We still need the people that voted for Rubio to vote for the Republican nominee so he can win the general election.

Here is the point you don’t seem to grasp. If only 37% of the people support Trump and the other 67% can decide on another person. Then the person that 67% find acceptable is much more likely to win.
