Isn’t it amazing how people always want to change the rules while the process is already in play? And usually in a majoritarian way? This reminds me of the people who want to elect POTUS by popular vote.

62% don’t care about your rules. And if it was Trump that had the fewer votes, the GOPe would be more concerned about the most votes. They’re no better than democrats.
What a load of crap. Nobody's changing the rules!
The GOP rules don't say that someone with less than 1237 can't get the nomination, now do they?
The nominee should be logically chosen.
And the logical choice will be Donald Trump.
If Trump doesn't get over 1237, he's going to be VERY close.
And the Cruz fanboys seem to be denying the reality of the fact that Donald Trump has done amazingly well against the backdrop of a relentless character assassination campaign carried out not only by the Left/Media, but also by the hopelessly corrupt GOPe attacking its own frontunner. And Cruz showed his naked opportunism by joining them and piling on.
That campaign was able to slightly blunt Trump's momentum. But it was too little, too late.
GOP voters have been paying very close attention, and the GOPe, by failing in their NeverTrump mission, have now created a dynamic where it will be suicide for them to deny Trump the nomination even if he is a few delegates short of a majority (which he won't be).
How appropriate and ironic.
The GOPe has essentially defeated themselves with their Machiavellian foolishness, and Ted Cruz has done the same by casting his lot with them.
Cruz will be extremely fortunate to even get the VP slot. We'll see how much of a statesman he'll be once he sees multiple third place finishes in the Northeast states.
The GOPe should have let the chips fall where they may, but instead they overplayed their hand to such a degree that the GOP electorate will simply not tolerate any nominee other than Trump.
And once Donald Trump is the leader of the party, then the snobby elites who tried so hard to thwart the will of the GOP voters can be shown the door: Mitt Romney, Lindsay Graham, and their ilk.
Failing to nominate Donald Trump means the death of the GOP via irreparable splintering.
So be it. My mother is a lifelong Republican who voted for Rubio down here in Florida, and has little affinity for Donald Trump. But when she saw what Mitt Romney tried to do, she was appalled.
Mom is ready to leave the Republican party if the convention betrays the voters whose enthusiasm has left the Democrats in the dust.
And if my mother leaves the Republican party, there will be millions just like her who will do so as well.
So, I'm double dog daring the GOPe bit-hes to steal the nomination from Trump, because I, for one, will enjoy transferring my allegiance to a new party which hopefully won't be as openly corrupt as the GOPe.
Bring it on. Donald Trump is the presumptive GOP nominee, and anything else will be suicide for the party.
After Tuesday and next Tuesday, it's time for the losing candidates to grow up and do what's best for the party and the country: unite behind the presumptive nominee.
My opinion at the moment regarding VP is that Cruz has a very small window of opportunity to get his head straight if he wants to be make amends.
I don't think Ted Cruz will wake up in time, so he's going to be left out in the cold as far as being on the ticket.
That's which why I'm predicting that Marco Rubio or John Kasich will be offered the VP slot.
Unite or die!
Vote Trump
Not the same at all. In the general if you win the state you get all the electorals. Fair! In the primary, if you win the state, you don’t get all the delegates. Not fair. And worse, if the states does allow voters at all to vote. Totally unfair. The primary should run exactly like the general. You win the state, you get all the delegates. And every state must have a primary.
This reminds me of the people who want to elect POTUS by popular vote.
The popular vote, within each individual state, does in fact elect the POTUS...
the popular vote from each state drives the entire apparatus of the electoral college...though I suppose an elector could decide go rogue, and screw the state...
