I would prefer that the person who won the most delegates by people voting be awarded the nomination.

Okay, thanks for the answer. You would want only a plurality requirement. I would disagree.

But then, why have delegates if you are not for a majority requirement. The delegates primary function is to vote if there isn't a majority.

I’m fine with the rules as they exist now, problem is when you have candidates who are mathematically eliminated staying in the race for the purpose of causing a contested convention, then we got problems.

If they were honorable people, they would admit defeat and drop out, but they are not honorable people. They are professional politicians, and I no longer have any use for those.

Cruz already said he was against a contested convention, and was for defeating Trump at the ballot box. Since he failed at that, he’s changed his tune.

I don’t respect that or him.
