That’s right - screw what the People want .... oh....wait.....
Trump has won a higher share of delegates than votes in 24 of the 35 contests studied (67 percent), most notably in winner-take-all contests. Winner-take-all statewide contests are less democratic than winner-take-all by congressional district (in the sense that the delegate allocation mirrors the vote). And winner-take-all by district is less democratic than simple proportional allocation. Trump benefited most in South Carolina, which awarded all 50 of its delegates to Trump even as he won a little less than a third of the vote. He also took all the delegates in the winner-take-all states of Arizona and Florida, while earning less than 50 percent of the vote in each. In 40 percent of the contests, Trump did at least 10 percentage points better in the delegate race than in the actual voting.
RULES IS RULES!
If the GOPe gives you the call all your delegates vote for Cruz regardless of what the state voters think.
RULES IS RULES!
Santorum needed 75% of the remaining delegates, and he had the decency to bow out gracefully
And of course, wait for it......the corrupt establishment DIDN'T WANT HIM!
Now that the crooked GOPe doesn't have their candidate, they are going to do anything, by hook or by crook, to try to get their's.
...And the worst part is Ted Cruz is more than happy to help them. Many of you Cruz supporters should be ashamed of yourselves, but you are not.
