Did you notice that pesky word “vote” in your analysis? Trump got his delegates from actual voters, Cruz not so much.
That is such a BS answer. Trump, and Cruz, both have worked within the rules setup by the different states. Trump has done it better at times and Cruz has done it better in others. The constant whining about how the system is “rigged”, or “unfair” is getting old, especially when 99% of the time it comes on the heels of Trump not winning someplace, or another.
If you want to talk about voters, be honest and admit that around 60% of the primary voters on the GOP side have not voted for Trump. Aside from what his supporters say, that is NOT an overwhelming vote of confidence. He’s not not going to get to 1237 because the vote is rigged. He won;t get there, because a majority of the primary voters didn’t vote for him. If he wins the nomination, which I think he does, even on a second ballot at this point, he is going to benefit from the fact that the alternative is will be sooooo much worse than he is.
I don’t like Trump, never have, even before the current mess. He’s a populist liberal who has managed to convince otherwise right thinking people that he’s made a 180 degree change in principle in less than 2 years. Sorry, despite what we says, I’m not buying it. Like I said, though, the alternative is much worse. We still might recover if he is elected. We won’t if hillary or bernie are.
