Trump shouldnt be forced to cut a deal with Jeb just because he needs another 5 to 9% somewhere. It’s better that the dominant 40% candidate gets in alone. Trump should not be forced to cut deals with Jeb or Rubio just to get 50% of the vote.

If the rules are changed so that the guy with the most delegates wins, then the next time we will have more candidates staying in and the "winner" may very well have support of only 30% of the delegates.

It is only rational that a party nominates someone whom the majority can support.

Instead of having party bosses decide who is "the candidate the majority can support", then perhaps we should have a rule where the sequence of state voting is randomized better, and after 1/3 of the population has voted, anybody not in the top three must withdraw.
