Same numbers at:

Looks like those numbers aren’t final with a lot of Texas still to be allocated.
Really wish this thing would get over with quickly.
Trumpettes: don’t start gloating too soon yet again. Those delegate numbers are incomplete.
The true numbers for Tuesday night have Trump ahead, but only by less than 20 delegates over Cruz. Trump is clearly ahead in the delegate count but by nowhere near as much as you apparently think.
...so Trump has 50.35% of the delegates awarded so far.
Cruz and Boobio need to start racking up state wins if they want to stop Trump.
Coming in second and third doesn’t do anything to change the inevitable.
And the window to stop Trump, if it hasn’t already closed, is about to close in the near future.
Why do you keep posting that link? That link is just an indicator and was last updated just after midnight.
As well it is the NY Times liberal rag.
FYI. About Texas
CNN is reporting
Trump: 315
Cruz: 205
Rubio: 106
Trump has a 110 delegate lead right now on CNN
Also Trump has 5 states where he has 50% plus one delegate right now
You need 8 states to get your name on the ballot at the convention
Cruz has possibly one, Texas
Trump also has 2/8 “gemstones” where he has over 50%. Cruzbio=0 nor do either have any hope of getting 50% anywhere.
How do you figure? Trump only has MA and SC where he got 59%, Cruz did NOT get 50% anywhere.
You must distinguish between the incomplete totals and the end result forecasts.
The interim. incomplete numbers most people on this thread are quoting are essentially meaningless.
You need to assess how ALL the delegates up for grabs will be allocated.
New York Times, CNN, Bloomberg; everybody is punching in numbers from ‘liberal’ rags and networks. It does;t mean they;re wrong. This isn’t editorial opinion here.
At the end of the day...delegate count is meaningless...
The convention rules are what matters at the end...
let’s see the the GOPE is going to commit suicide... at the convention...
my bet they will....
CNN is reporting
Trump: 315
Cruz: 205
Rubio: 106
If that’s indeed the spread, this is a long way from being “over,” no may matter how much the propagandists would like everyone to believe otherwise.
“Cruzatrons” (because I can make cutesy names too) should not be flapping their gums.
The vast majority of Cruz’s delegates are from one state. His home state! A state he could not break 50% in.
Where do you see another state with that number up for grabs that he is even competitive in? Exactly.
Trump still has huge states he will win yet. Cruz maybe has Utah.
Trump has 50+% of the delegates from
South Carolina
Georgia
Alabama
Massachusetts
Tennessee
Cruz has 50+% of the delegates from
Texas
