Winner-take-all can be seen as unfair or seen as fair. Arguments can reasonable be made both ways. It is similar to how many states do the electoral college. The idea of winner-take-all is the state is trying to increase its importance to the candidates. The idea of doing it proportional is to allow the side without a majority to have at least some influence.
Neither alternative is as clearly dishonest and wrong as assigning an unfaithful delegate against the will of the voters.
I can certainly understand that a Cruz supporter wants to change the subject and look for an angle to get around directly saying this is moral or right. I appreciate the awkward situation, and it doesn't mean they are bad people.

Noone’s changign the subject- we’re just pointing otu hte glaring hypocrisy
[[Winner-take-all can be seen as unfair or seen as fair. Arguments can reasonable be made both ways. ]]
But it’s only unreasonable when Colorado happens? Trump was silent on Missouri, and vocal on Louisianan - why? Yup because Miss he won majority, Louisianan he didn’t
The whole issue is about whether ALL delegate systems from various states are fair or not- noon’s changing the subject-
[[The idea of winner-take-all is the state is trying to increase its importance to the candidates.]]
The idea is to take away votes from those who voted for the one who didn’t get awarded the majority- there’s no getting around this fact- But, it’s how the game is played- Cruz understood that and isn’t complaining about it- Trump however does, but only when He doesn’t get the majority
Colorado issue is no different really- except that voters do not get a chance to even vote- however, again, even if they did, Colorado would likely have some delegate rule similar to Missouri or other states where people’s votes still were not counted for anything in the end-
We’re really comparing apples to apples here- peopel in both situations are losign hteir votes and the majority candidate is gettign htem even if the the peopel voted for the other person
Someone said the other day “Cast your vote, not that it matters, the state will decide who it goes for” or something to that effect- We’re seeing this play out in many states- and covering it under an umbrella of ‘it’s ok because it’;s winner take all’ doesn’t lessen the fact that peopel are still loosing their votes- are still being disenfranchised i n the end- Colorado is just the4 extreme end of this issue- but again, it’s how the game has been played for a very logn time-
