Cruz has 41.41% of the delegates and only 28.33% of the popular vote.

34% not 41%.

Okay I'll alter it to your numbers.

Cruz -34% of the delegates and 28% of the votes.

Trump - 45% of the delegates and 37% of the votes.

So while Trump has 9% more of the popular vote, Cruz is only behind by 11% in delegates.

Trump has won 21 states to 11 for Cruz.

In at least 2 of those states that Cruz has won, there is considerable questions as to the ethics employed to win.

Bottom line is there is not much difference between the popular vote percentage and the delegate percentage. Trump has 8% points more in delegates than popular vote percentage, while Cruz has a 6% points more in delegates than popular vote percentage. But the key is 10 more states won by Trump than Cruz has won. With some of those wins resulting in more delegates for Cruz than Trump.
