It's disingenuous to have a primary to choose delegates only to award the delegates to another candidate the state party prefers. Sure, they can do it. But you can expect the people to push back. But, until the people change the party rules, they need not complain. It's the same with the States. Why haven't the States invoked Article 5 yet?

It is the same thing - both processes have RULES. All the campaigns KNEW the rules. Donald is pretending that he and his supporters are being disenfranchised because he is losing. He is pretending he doesn't know the rules, but he does. Most of the people working for him are Democrats. His own children can't follow the rules by registering as Republicans. They don't want to, because none of them are Republicans.
