Articles about the delegate process

Blurbs from articles. In order to expand my arguments about the delegate swindle I need to add some documentation from articles. I am going to use this blog as a notebook to copy and paste articles before they disappear from the internet. I'll make a note identifying these post and put up a link, but I won't have time to elaborate or discuss the articles in detail until later.

Can we (calmly) talk about this delegate selection process?

The argument which has sprouted from this delegate curation process has been dismaying to observe, though not because of the first argument put forth by all of Trump’s attackers. The typical response to complaints from Trump supporters who claim that the nomination is being “stolen” is to say that these are the rules, and if Trump wanted to play the game he should have known them. Let’s set a baseline here by saying that I agree with that simple statement of fact. Ted Cruz is not “cheating” in any way shape or form. He’s playing to win and doing so within the constructs of system as it exists today.
But having said that, I have a favor to ask of all my friends currently doing (potentially premature) end zone dances on the grave of Trump’s nomination prospects. Even as we agree that the rules are what they are, can we at least set aside the specifics of this election cycle and your distaste for the Manhattan businessman and be honest enough to also agree that many of those rules suck?
