Look, Trump didn't even win 40% of the vote in Goergia, and the people who voted for candidates other than Trump are just as much entitled to have their votes counted as are Trump supporters. They don't fall off the face of the earth just because their candidate dropped out.
Here's the truth: Trump won 38.8% of the vote in Georgia. But Cruz and Rubio combined won 48%. So when the Cruz and Rubio supporters unite as they have every right to do at these conventions, they significantly outnumber the Trump supporters, and so elect the delegates of their choice.
People who voted for candidates who are no longer in the race are just as much a part of the electorate as anyone else. And if the delegates those people elected prefer to support Cruz over Trump, that is perfectly legitimate, and not the least bit undemocratic.
Did I say GA, no ?
The Trump campaign had equal access to the Rubio supporters and could've recruited them to their side. But they chose not to. Ergo, there is no basis for a complaint. There will be whining, nonetheless...
If three horses run a race and one quits before the half way point, the second place finisher does not get a win because it and the third place finisher ran a greater total of furlongs.
Many analogies could apply.
Result, Cruz did not win, he rarely wins head to head.
You keep telling yourself that.
That is probably one of the most convoluted and disjointed collection of a logical fallacy that I have seen here in a long time.
Very clear explanation that, unfortunately, some of the FReepers here will just ignore!
