I didn't hear tRump whining about the rules during Super Tuesday:

March 1, 2016

Super Tuesday depends on many wild cards built into the delegate rules.

A majority of the 595 delegates at stake are awarded by congressional districts, with the stinger that, in some circumstances, only the top two finishers receive any at all. The winner of each district gets two delegates, the runner-up gets one and everyone else goes home.

This rule was intended by party leaders to turbocharge the campaign of a front-runner. In effect, a candidate who wins a district with a plurality of only about 33 percent , as Mr. Trump has in earlier states’ primaries, ends up with 66 percent of the delegates.

I’ve read your post several times but can find no loigic or reason to your argument.
