Are all of the states proportional delegates?

Has anybody told Ted that Romney & Ryan have already filed papers with the REC on Jan 30,2016, to run for President & VP of the USA this year?

Cruz is being ‘Romneyed’.

Jacksonville Trump voter here. Some neighbors have said they’re for Trump, my kids say some kids at school are for Trump, which, of course, usually means their parents are. I don’t see many bumper stickers, but I’ve seen more Trump than other republicans. Also have seen Bernie bumper stickers and no Hillary bumper stickers.

Nice to see this poll by Kansas Senator Moran hit the Wichita Eagle yesterday: “Trump wins Moran’s Kansas presidential straw poll”


The sharper tools in the GOPe shed are starting to get Trump, IMO. They’ve got no choice, LOL.

For those who haven't already drank the Kool-aid, Ted is now totally working with the establishment.

Then why does he continue to compete against the GOPe candidate? Think, man.

So far all the states have been proportional to some degree, but their is some flex in the definition of proportional. Every state seems to have there own rules for delegate allocation.

Generally, the statewide winner will get a larger share than their percentage. So, a 36% winner might get more than 36% of the delegates.

South Carolina, a proportional state, ended up being winner-take-all, because Trump won all the statewide delegates and he also won in every Congressional District, so he won the delegates apportioned that way, too. But that was very unusual.

Notably, in the near future, Florida and Ohio are winner take all. It's why there's such pressure on Rubio in Florida. It's not merely a matter of pride. If he finishes 2nd, even by 1 vote, he'll get no delegates from his home state. Same with Kasich in OH. If Trump takes both of those states, it's over. Even if he loses both he's probably still going to win.

Cruz is grasping at straws. He’ll be lucky to win kansas today and has already written off the other 3 states.

I’m about to go early vote for TRUMP here in FL. Feeling guilty about not going to the rally today. LOL.

I was initially a Cruz voter but recently switched to Trump. At this point it almost seems a vote for Cruz is a vote for a brokered convention.

My hubby and I stopped by a debate party hosted by a local SoCal radio station AM610 Thursday evening. It was packed with Trump supporters. Must’ve been close to 2,000 Trump folks of every color, nationality (lots of blacks, whites, and hispanics in the crowd). I’ve lived in CA since I graduated college 25 years ago and have never seen such fervor in this state for any candidate. Alot of it probably is backlash due to Romney’s interference but people generally do seem engaged even here in CA for Trump which speaks volumes.

Yet Cruz is angling for a brokered convention, no other way to see it.


Gee, who would be the obvious “compromise” candidate at a brokered convention? Hmm, let me think about that...
