even the Chronicle story did not make clear that such appearances are permitted by the Federal Election Commission

Right, Cruz is a lawyer and exploits the rules and law to his benefit—like any good sleazebag lawyer. You liked Clinton and Nixon, you'll love Cruz.

Isn't that exactly what Trump uses as his excuse when questioned about the bankruptcy laws? "Hey, those laws are there and I took advantage of them. That's good business."

To some extent, I don't disagree with that. But the point is that the rules are what they are, everyone has known what they are (if they didn't, they're negligent) and so the smart thing to do is to do what you can within those rules. Complaining about someone else using the rules to their advantage is like what you see in a basketball game when some player starts complaining to the ref that he was fouled, and while he's complaining about the no-call, the guy he's supposed to be guarding dunks the ball at the other end.

If Trump wants to win this, he ought to be investing in a good ground game and fighting for those delegates. Complaining about an unfair system isn't going to change anything.
