Interesting that Trump is screaming about "the rules," but only when they don't favor him. If he benefits from "the rules," they are OK.
For instance, in Wisconsin, Cruz received far more votes than Trump did in NY. Yet, Trump received more NY delegates than Cruz. That's because, as Trump has trumpeted, the system is rigged. I guess being "rigged" is OK if it favors Trump?
BTW, Trump is not at all a lock to get the requisite number of delegate votes to win on the first ballot in Cleveland. And, despite the "wins" Trump has under his belt, I think a majority of those even committed to him on the first ballot are opposed to his nomination. That is a ray of hope for the Republicans.
If that is the outcome, that Trump doesn't get the nomination, the Establishment Republicans can still shoot themselves in the foot by selecting an Establishment candidate. Will they be stupid? Can they remember 2012 when so many Republicans stayed home rather than voting for Romney, allowing Obama to win? If they can, will they learn the lesson or will they be content to lose another election as long as their own Establishment candidate is nominated? Talk about a Pyrrhic Victory......
