Donald Trump blasted the GOP's delegate rules Sunday, saying a
"corrupt" system is denying him delegates in states he won. According to
a new NBC analysis, however, Trump has benefited far more than Ted Cruz
under the party's arcane rules for allocating delegates.
Trump now leads the Republican field with 756
delegates — or 45 percent of all delegates awarded to date. Yet he has
won about 37 percent of all votes in the primaries, according to the NBC
analysis, meaning Trump's delegate support is greater than his actual
support from voters.
For each percentage point of total primary votes that Trump has won, he has been awarded 1.22 percent of the total delegates.
In other words, as a matter of Republican Party
math, Trump has been awarded a delegate bonus of 22 percent above his
raw support from voters.
