The system has favored TRUMP. Trump has been complaining that he gets the vote, but not the delegates. Well, he has 37% of the vote. FAIRNESS would say that Trump should have 37% of the delegates. Trump has 45% of the delegates. If the system were more tied to the actual votes (as Trump says he wants), Trump would have no chance at reaching 1237 on the first ballot, and little chance at the nomination.

It is the "unfair" system that has favored Trump. He received about 51% of the vote in South Carolina. He receive 100% of the delegates for the first round. And yet he complains. The same happened in Arizona and Florida. Other candidates received well over 40% of the vote and received ZERO representation or delegates.

But then, those are the rule of those states. Perhaps, they SHOULD be changed at this late date, as Trump wants. In that case, Trump would lose LOTS of delegates.
