Cruz isn't complaining.... those are the rules. But it is worth noting that when the rules benefit Trump disproportionality that is ok. When other folks follow the rules and win, that is stealing.
Trump is worse than a baby, he is a baby who cheats every chance he gets
While he has decried the rules as being unfair, Trump himself has benefitted from them. He has obtained a greater proportion of delegates than his proportion of votes and up until now the rules have allowed him to do this.
Trump has received 37 percent of the vote in those states that have held binding caucuses and primaries. He has earned 46 percent of the delegates. That is almost ten percent more delegates than if the Republican contests were completely proportional.
The Republican nominating contest, in fact, is geared towards helping the front runner. This is for a variety of factors meant to accelerate the coalescing around a nominee. Those factors include thresholds for delegate allocation, winner-take-all contests, and winner-take-most rules that give all delegates in a proportional primary to someone who earns over 50 percent of the vote.
The result in Missouri is even more lopsided. While only 1,935 votes out of 939,270 cast separate Trump and Cruz, Trump won over 70 percent of the delegates in the state based on these results. Take a look below.
