One thing that Trump has certainly done is expose just why it is that the establishment has seemed able to hand pick candidates time after time that were not the choice of the voters. It is now clear that the convoluted systems for allocating delegates in some states (none crazier than Colorado, where I live) have provided the GOPe a poorly-understood playground for manipulating the outcome. I hope that once the smoke clears from this election cycle, we will begin to change these systems to favor more straight-forward primaries.
I am convinced that it is going to take a lot of tar, and hemp.

The People need to demand, DEMAND, fair elections and fair delegate accrual systems in each state. It is up to the states to do this, but they SHOULD or they deserve full shame.
