He's not getting fucked out of anything the rules in each states nomination process are different. Some states have what's called "unbound delegates" and can vote for whoever they want to at the convention. Trump is lazy and didn't take the time to learn each states rules. Trump has no one to blame except himself and his staff. MOST of the delegates are BOUND to whoever the voters chose and at the convention they must vote for whoever they are bound to on the 1st ballot. If no candidate reaches 1237 on the 1st ballot they can vote for another candidate depending on how many ballots they are bound for. Lincoln was selected on like the 6th ballot even though he only had 22% of the delegates pre convention William Seward was far out in front but couldn't wrangle enuff delegates at the convention to win. No cheating just following the rules.

You realize a nominee is usually called by now with the delegates?

Trump isn't falling short because of Ted Cruz's success, its because of unbound delegates and abstain votes by delegates.

You are trying to say that Trump not getting these unbound delegates is some kind of legitimate function of the system. When in reality, we have never NOT had a nominee called by May/June.

The optional delegates are fucking him. Period. "rules and system" my ass, they didn't "rule and system" for George W Bush, or GHWB, or anyone in the last few decades. Its almost May, no nominee? That's a fuck job by the system.
