The American people still retain an innate sense of fair play and right vs wrong.

Which includes an understanding that a nomination is won when a candidate receives the votes of a majority of the delegates.

I.e., not...a...plurality. No presidential nomination has ever been secured in any party without the support o a majority of the delegates. The "leader" at any point short of the finish line is not yet the "winner".

American voters understand no such thing.

Do you really believe that Republican voters are going to come out in sufficient numbers to beat the Dem in the general, if the convention delegates choose as our nominee, a candidate who actually lost the primary election?

Keep dreaming.
