Cat Dancer---you're a winner. You gave me my answer. After this discussion, I researched further I realized the dirty secret that no one on FR talked about (until you) in reference to "Cruz's superior ground game" and his "courting the delegates," in states AFTER Trump had won but in which Cruz operatives stayed behind to "court" the delegates, and despite losing the VOTE to Trump the Cruz people got the delegates. Here's how it works:

Here's how the Washington Post described it on 4/11/16:

Under regulations established in the 1980s, delegates cannot take money from corporations, labor unions, federal contractors or foreign nationals. But an individual donor is permitted to give a delegate unlimited sums to support his or her efforts to get selected to go to the convention, including money to defray the costs of travel and lodging.

Thank you, and what a great find!

I hope you can repost that WaPo paragraph on other threads dealing with this travesty. It’s the last post on this one and people need to see it.
