Trump just did not understand the Caucus system and still does not as evidenced by his remarks. Trump failed to understand the dynamics of a group in a same room taking sides, he didn’t understand PEER PRESSURE at the time of voting and trial votes... Thank goodness most of the rest of the country votes by a different method.
Trump should have had the Team Cruz did to go around and cajole voters... People inside pressure groups vote differently than in a private voting boot where no one is allows to campaign any where near.. a private unpressured decision is made ... AND THAT WAS WHAT BEAT TRUMP — his lack of knowledge of the Caucus system of so called voting.
...and what did that really cost Trump? 2 delegates?
Meh.
He also didn’t understand that when people are told a candidate is going to drop out, and please switch your vote, they generally comply. Those dynamics are pretty powerful.
