Donald Trump supporters have been touting the many recent polls that ask Republican voters whether the candidate who has the “most” delegates should be nominated. In every instance I have seen, a large majority answer yes. But the term “most” is ambiguous in this context. “Most” usually means a majority, which in the Republican National Convention means 1,237 delegates — a majority of the 2,472 chosen. But the wording suggests that “most” here means more than any other candidate, but not necessarily a majority, since a candidate with an actual majority would be nominated. The responses are in line with Trump’s repeated declarations that he has a moral entitlement to the nomination even if he has won fewer than 1,237 delegates.
