Despite Complaints, Delegate System Has Given Trump a 22 Percent Bonus

Not only are you obtuse, you also cherry pick to make your case. Sorry, your tactics will not work with me. What I provided earlier, was not the simple definition, but rather the full blown definition. Trump has received the majority of votes per candidates running. I was not referring to the majority of votes cast.

Let’s make this easy for you - unless Trump gets 1237 delegates, he has not earned a majority of the delegates and will not get the nomination. Regardless of how you define majority, that is how the GOP defines it, and that will be what determine who will be the nominee.

We are not in dispute with regards to that. So what are you talking about? If you are talking about my statement that Trump has a majority of votes cast fro a Republican candidate, that is true. He doesn’t have a majority of votes cast, but he has the largest majority of votes cast for a candidate in the Republican primaries.

That is called a plurality - less than a majority, but more than any other candidate.

A candidate’s followers don’t know the difference between a majority and a plurality? I think I see a problem here...
