Moving Forward=> DONALD TRUMP Only Needs 43% of Remaining Delegates to Win Nomination
Gateway Pundit ^ | 4/28/16 | Jim Hoft

Posted on 04/28/2016 1:11:20 PM PDT by Zenjitsuman

After sweeping all five primaries that occurred Tuesday – Connecticut, Rhode Island, Delaware, Maryland and Pennsylvania – Donald Trump has 987 delegates, Cruz has 562 with 622 remaining.

Ted Cruz was mathematically eliminated on Tuesday night.

There are fewer delegates remaining than we originally projected because the delegates in Wyoming, Colorado and North Dakota were allocated in corrupt voter-less elections. But our April 2nd projections for Trump and Cruz were very, very close.

If Cruz loses Indiana its over and Cruz will lose his Senate seat if he plays sore loser and doesn’t GTFO of the race.

That does not include Pennsylvania’s unattached delegates which by all reports Trump will get at least 40!

I sure wish there would be some new polling out of Indiana soon.

It’s over - Cruz is mathematically eliminated. Website 270towin has Trump with 993 delegates which I believe includes Pennsylvania unbound. Cruz is over 400 delegates behind.

Kasich is staying in because he is crazy. It’s probably more fun than playing governor. I don’t understand why Cruz is still in. It seems like political suicide to me. And naming a lame VP pick like Carly? What could she possible bring to the table? Rumor has it after he loses on Tuesday he will be naming his cabinet.

“f Trump is elected, wonder how Cruz will act the next two years????”

He’ll be campaigning for president, like he has since he got in the senate. If for no other reason, Cruz should be tossed for being AWOL in his Senate job! This guy is SO much like Obama...except we know Cruz was FOREIGN BORN.

Now that CNN is showing Trump with 52 total delegates likely in PA (and it is likely that that number wil go higher, probably over 60 before all is said and done and once they vote at the convention):

http://edition.cnn.com/election/primaries/states/pa/Rep

Current delegate count according to them, and I have found them to be fairly accurate is:

Trump: 991
Cruz: 568
Kasich: 154

http://edition.cnn.com/election/

I expect Trump will go well over the top (probably by 50 or more delegates at this point), on June 7th.

If Cruz is interested in the GOP nominee (without any “e”) winning in November, then he needs to concede next week after Trump (in all likelihood) takes Indiana.

I pray to God that is what he will do. He has the power to:

1) Unite the party by so doing.
2) Deliver a huge blow to the GOPe by so doing.
3) Set up for a big GOP November win.

I say all of this as one who has diligently supported Cruz...but recognizes the truth of the situation and the absolute need to defeeat the Dems in November.

I was listening to FOX News radio this afternoon and I think their Indiana poll had Trump at 44%, Cruz at 33% and Kasich at 13%. If that’s true Cruz is beginning his inevitable slide.

New headline: Trump is dropping like a stone... only two weeks ago he needed 58%, now he is down to 43%. :P

With this trend he may go into the negative territory before long.

Kasich may not be as crazy as we thought. I read somewhere that Ohio delegates that Kasich won automatically goes to Trump (2nd place winner) if Kasich leave race. He know he doesn’t have a chance but he doesn’t want to help Trump at the same time
