Both could be said not to pour excessive efforts into fighting foregone conclusions.

I am 59 years old. I have seen the primary system get plenty of attention over the years.
This is not new. Some people just haven’t paid attention before.
And Trump certainly understands the system, and is very smartly whining about his losses so his supporters that having paid attention to the State delegate systems. He knows that angers the slightly informed, and he caters to that anger. It is very shrewd on his part. He is no dummy. And of course he greatly brags about his wins, and that caters to to his supporters.
But if he is correct about himself, he can’t possibly lose a brokered convention delegate fight, because he is the smartest and finest negotiator of the deal. So relax. If what is selling about himself is correct - he will win any brokered convention.
