If delegates were apportioned the way trump wants— votes by people

Trump would have a much smaller lead than he does now

The system is rigged

For trump

First, winner-take-all states are VERY straightforward. No gaming the system with them, you either win or go home.

Second, winner-take-most states (like NY, tonight) are also very straightforward. You win the statewide vote, you get X delegates; you win >50% of the statewide vote, you get Y delegates; you do the same in each Congressional district, you get X or Y votes. No gaming the system with them, you win a certain number of delegates, depending strictly on the popular vote.

Third, Trump has MANY more votes than Cruz. He’d still have a lead - and a substantial one, at that - over Cruz if you compare strictly the popular vote.
