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.

Yep, it’s just math.

Now, Trump would say, and has said, “a majority is just a random number.”

Rational minds disagree.
