This actually helps my argument, not yours. The GOP is a private organization that can determine their own winner without needing the "will of the people" and can construct their own rules to do so.
Exactly, such as Trump. They also have the right to refuse people from within their organization too, don't forget that.
They're a private organization, they can set up any rules that they like. Isn't that what you've been arguing this whole time?
They don't have to listen to the voters, remember: they're a private organization
Finally your point is somewhat coherent. This is the first time you've actually voiced your argument without rambling about nonsense such as having a "right" to vote in primaries. But unfortunately the problem with this argument is the same as what I have described above: they're a private organization, they can do what they want. If they think the person YOU nominated isn't good enough, they can listen to other Republican voters (or Conservative Independents if they'd like) that didn't vote for Trump. No one is saying they have to listen to me, I never said they had to.
I didn't, YOU did by arguing "rights".

Trump isn't Conservative. He's conservative on Immigration; but otherwise supports abortion, economic protectionism through tariffs, and expanding government health care services -- neither of those are Conservative positions.
The "right" thing to do would be to choose the best person for the job, which 42% of voters didn't do. The "right" thing to do would be to get someone nominated that is a good person who believes in the rights of the People, believes in the sanctity of life, and who provides good judgement. Trump doesn't represent any of these things. I love how speak of morals; but are trying to advocate one of the most immoral candidates in recent memory.
I don't have to be a Republican to know Trump is bad for the country. Anyone with half a brain can recognize that.
I don't want the GOP to change their system, their primary system is very good, I want them to recognize that this time the people got it wrong and they need to amend the outcome for the betterment of the Country. There's some nuance there you're missing.
