>> Shouldn’t a winner be the guy who goes out to the people, asks for their votes , and gets most of them?

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.

Well Ted only got 43% of the Texas vote so that means #notted should get 57% of the delegates?

Kasich only got 46% of Ohio so #notkasich should get 54%of Ohio?

Trump got 35% of wisconsin but only got 6 out of 42 delegates

Do you see where your logic is going?

” unless trump gets a majority ‘not trump’ gets most of the votes”

Your words sparky

‘Not cruz’ got most of the votes in Texas
‘Not kasich’ got most of the votes in Ohio

Read it and apply to your logic that trump did not get majority and deserves less delegates ( based on votes)
Or just unscrew the cap and enjoy the rest of that whine
