Backers of Republican presidential front-runner Donald Trump accused the Arizona GOP convention of cheating after Texas Sen. Ted Cruz pulled out a strategic victory Saturday. Cruz won virtually all of the 28 at-large national delegates and roughly split the 27 delegates selected by congressional district.
Cruz's Arizona campaign organizer says simple math led to the at-large victory. Cruz offered a nearly identical slate of candidates as John Kasich backers, and the combined votes led to a win.
They lost because of math, not because of malfeasance. If you take the people that want Cruz, and you add to them the people who don't want Trump, that's a majority in just about any room in America."
This was a very pronounced victory for the Cruz-Kasich slates. If it was close, then you might say 'Hey, one person here, one person there,' but this was a commanding victory.

This is what happens when private parties, who aren't bound to laws and can make rules up as they go, run the show. Trump and Sanders have been getting screwed by the RNC and DNC because they don't want anyone who isn't bought and paid for running the show.
Cruz, who says he isn't establishment clearly is now apart of the establishment.
Saturday’s victory was mainly strategic for Cruz since all 58 Arizona delegates are required to vote for Trump on the first national ballot because he won the state’s primary.

This is the end of the GOP.
They have shown that they completely disregard the will of the people.
