Using the rules to trump the Will Of The People?! Scandalous.

Nope, using the rules of the "rigged" system. He's right that the system is broken and rigged, but he more than anyone else benefits from it.

Im talking about in general. His proportion of delegates to votes is higher than Cruz's. Not because of him doing anything wrong, but because that's how the system is set up.

Picking the nominee should be the same as picking your president. You win the state you get the delegates.

By campaigning for and relying on Ds to win some states in the R open primary.

Why?

Seems fair to me or pool all votes together.

Why? Why should votes count differently in different states?

I think that would be the fairest system.

You mean I should have understood from your not explaining why you feel it is more fair that some votes should count more than other that it is for no reason at alll?

What you should understand that in a fair system one vote equals one vote.

If one vote equals one vote then all should be proportional.
