“Americans love a winner and will not tolerate a loser”
George Patton

Shouldn’t a winner be the guy who goes out to the people, asks for their votes , and gets most of them? Shouldn’t thevwinner then expect the contest rules to,award him the fruits of his victory? Isn’t that what the voters expected when they stood in long lines to hear speeches and to vote?

The real voting public doesnt see Cruz as a winner in any respect
Unfortunately his downfall may take a lot of us with him

Absolutely!

But “most of them” is “the majority”: “50% +1”. Not merely “about a third but more than any one other candidate”. (That would only be a ‘plurality’, and that is what Trump now has.)

Unless Trump gets a majority, “NotTrump” is the guy who got “most” of the votes.
