Okay, maybe Mike Johnson is a competent parliamentarian.

It's a little alarming to see people in this thread implying that a better understanding of the rules of the convention process would or should be all it would take obviate people's concerns about the perceived fundamental justice or injustice of one candidate getting the most votes but another winning. FPTP is a horrible, horrible system, but it's still a damn sight more democratic than ~ninja delegates~.

Curious. If you're against FPTP, why would you be against Cruz taking delegates in areas where Trump won by FTPT. It would make more sense in seeing this as a correction.

If Cruz took only enough delegates to correct for the discrepancy in Trump's favor, and if this could be done and communicated in a manner that the general public understood, I'd be all for it.
