It’s become obvious that Donald Trump was never prepared to campaign in the usual sense.
He got a billion dollars in publicity from the networks that the trumpers whine are against him.
He holds huge meetings that have become like rock concerts to the attendees.
And that’s it.
He didn’t bother to hire a competent staff and now he sits back and whines about the rules.
Cruz with no press to speak of and not much money is running circles around him because Cruz is willing to work at campaigning.
Stop whining about long set rules when they suddenly don’t go your way, and tell your candidate to man up.
I've been critiquing Trump for over a month for not trying to game the system and win every single delegate possible along with collecting votes. I will be irritated beyond words if he wins the popular vote in November and loses on electoral votes. This is an election, and Trump needs to prove that he can understand the rules and play to win under those rules.
Note: Trump needs to understand the rules of the convention too and make sure his loyal delegates (which is not all of his delegates) are protecting his interests when they vote on rules. Winning a game is all about rules, and he needs to pay attention to the details and not just the showmanship. If necessary, he needs to make a deal with Cruz at some point. "Art of the Deal"? I hope he is still the master he claims to be.
