Can Donald Trump really hit 1,237 before Cleveland?
CNN ^ | Apr. 21, 2016 | MJ Lee and Gregory Krieg, CNN

Donald Trump is now the only Republican presidential candidate with a realistic chance of winning the 1,237 votes to clinch the nomination before the national convention this summer.

But getting there will be a tough undertaking, and one that leaves little room for error.

Trump's commanding victory in New York, where he won more than 60% of the vote and the vast majority of the 95 delegates up for grabs, marked a turning point in the delegate race. The Manhattan real estate mogul now has improved his chances of winning the nomination outright, while his chief rival, Ted Cruz, would need a minor miracle to win on the first ballot.

Running against 16 people, Trump as acquired 48.85% of the awarded delegates right now. That is pretty amazing.

Here are his numbers. Notice how they change over the next week.

date
delegates awarded
his delegate count
his percentage of delegates obtained of those awarded
his percentage of delegates he must have
delegates he still needs
percentage of remaining delegates he must obtain

04/19: 1798, 0846, 48.85% 68.39% 391 58.01%
04/26: 1970, 0981, 51.17% 79.30% 256 51.00%

Notice how his delegates obtained percentage falls in line with his delegates needed percentage.

It moves from 48.85% / 58.01% to 51.17% / 51.00%.

After 04/26 Trump will need to get 51.00% of the remaining delegates.

Up until 04/26 he will have gotten 51.17% of awarded delegates.

If he continues to perform as he has, he will get 1237.

Yeah he misspoke...lol. Like he misspoke about raising taxes on the rich and how he misspoke about a path to citizenship for illegals, and how he misspoke about a MAN USING THE WOMENS BATHROOM.

The guy just self destructed!

A Trump wave is building while Cruz is out stomping around in puddles.

I really thought all the talk about Cruz being unlikeable was just sour grapes spin from his butt hurt Senate colleagues. We heard about his towering intellect and his command of the issues. And while he’s shown a certain talent for exploiting arcane delegate rules to lock up a bunch of votes, I’m shocked out how much he just doesn’t connect with people.

Watch the face on his left when the “hours at a time” statement comes.

Just takes 9 or 10 seconds.

Manafort says he’ll have 1400. Not if he continues to reveal his liberal, PC beliefs about Bruce Jenner, referring to him as “she.” Liberals always give themselves away eventually.

It’s a collection from the outtakes one of his PAC’s released. I don’t think they thought it through. Granted, CNN put it out (that particular collection), but it’s very interesting.

Assuming you are a married male with a daughter, are you certain you are ok with the likes of "Chaz" Bono using the same restroom as your wife and daughter?
