When is everyone going to realize......we do not live in a "democracy" we live in a "represented republic".....its not the PEOPLE or their polls that elect presidents, its the Delegates that have been empowered by the people and the party, that's the only poll that matters. As of today....there is only one candidate that KNOWS HOW and IS WORKING THE SYSTEM to their advantage. In the primary its the ground work to win Delegates not the electorate....in the general its ground work to win the electoral college.
Its no wonder Trump does not have a clue as he keeps touting the number of public votes he is ahead of the field....when NY ALONE, his home state would provide such a numerical fact....but its not a numbers game state by state as some state have far superior population....its a DELEGATE GAME that was established to make the playing filed equal to representation of ALL STATES regardless of population.
The name of the game in a REPUBLIC is STATE REPRESENTATION as it is 50 states and a few territories that make up the REPUBLIC....and the political game is tailored for the STATE who all have a CONSTITUTION.
I laugh every time I see some ignorant jerk like TRUMP speak about DEMOCRACY......when he should be concerned about REPUBLICAN PRINCIPLES not social democratic principles. Anyone that ignorant deserves to get the surprise that is awaiting him in Cleveland Ohio. If he can't any number of the peoples he has previously loud mouthly TRASHED in public to support him in Cleveland...i.e., like the other candidates who hold more delegates than him COMBINED (a clear majority as Trump tops out at less than 50% nationally and it takes a 50 plus 1 majority to win the nomination).....GAME OVER
