Knowing the rules had nothing to do with what happened.

TRUMP supporters mowed their lawns and were MIA, while generally enjoying the turn of the season, missing EVERY single step all the way through, for becoming a delegate.

They missed their PRECINCT meetings nation wide.

They missed their COUNTY conventions nation wide.

They missed their STATE conventions nation wide.

Therefore, they missed the NATIONAL convention.

Cruz’ appeal was to the grassroots delegates at the precinct level in every town, because they are the conservative ACTIVISTS who know all the steps to becoming a delegate.

Still, TRUMP swamped these yahoos in the state Primaries.

State wins and those margins of win fall to the National Convention. Those are the rules.

But, PEOPLE choose to serve their country and show up.

Or, not.

“Knowing the rules had nothing to do with what happened.”

The rules are, that, in most states, the delegates are bound by law to vote for the one who won the primary. That is the system that Limbaugh joyfully talked about every time it was used by Cruz. So Trump used the system and won.

That is not true in many cases.

Many Trump delegates showed up at their state conventions only to be cheated out of being chosen.

Check the stories about TN, GA, and IN for a few examples.
