Trump just won the election this morning.
Trump is the Winston Churchill of our age.
Obama is Neville Chamberlain.
It’s going to be a great day!

Go, Ted, go! Cruz, the conservatives’ choice!
My southern and eastern neighbors: don’t let me down.
GO TED CRUZ!! VOTE TED CRUZ... The consistent conservative.
C’mon AZ crush it for the Trumpster. Ahem UT-—get a clue. And your Mittens is a dufus loser. Stop being so holier than thou,
I agree. I think Trump will comfortably win Arizona and maintain his momentum. I hope we can keep Cruz to under 50% in Utah. The wildcard is allowing Utahns to vote online - larger turnout could hurt Cruz, I suppose.
Showing Trump needs 60% - 62% of remaining delegates.
Think he’ll do much better than that.
Calculations below.
As of 3/22 AM if Trump has 678 delegates
1237 Total delegates needed
678 Trump delegates to date
559 Bal Trump delegates needed
906 Total delegates remaining
62% % bal Trump delegates needed
As of 3/22 AM if Trump has 693 delegates
1237 Total delegates needed
693 Trump delegates to date
544 Bal Trump delegates needed
906 Total delegates remaining
60% % bal Trump delegates needed
I have a TRUMP sticker on my 4 Runner, I plan to vote for him in May after it’s already been decided, as we vote so dang late. But I wouldn’t be upset with Cruz either. I just thank TRUMP for getting the conversations flowing on immigration, taxes, jobs, terrorism. With the POS in DC now,WH, SENATE, HOUSE it never would have been on the radar. I’m ready to see all of them voted out of office that have not consistantly voted conservative.
Big, and I mean BIG, snowstorm right now in Salt Lake. Should clear by this evening, but the roads are sloppy.
Also, a few reports (via comments on local news sites) that people who registered to vote online are not able to. Could be traffic or glitches. Unfortunately, the process to vote online required TWO registrations, one for the Republican Party, and a second to get your PIN in order to vote. This was not made clear on the GOP websites (two separate sites).
If Trump is the nominee we will Lose to Clinton, and that would just be a disaster. People say he hasn't even started on Clinton yet. Ok. But with negatives like he has, how could he possibly overcome the Clinton machine.
Otherwise, the 40 delegates are split evenly between all those who get at least 15% of the vote.
So if both Trump and Cruz finish between 15-49%, they will both come away with 20 delegates. Even if Cruz is at 49% and Trump is at 15%.
If Kasich also gets at least 15%, then the 40 delegates are split three ways with Cruz, Trump and Kasich all getting 13 each. I suppose the delegate left over would go to whoever finished highest.
Let me know if I'm wrong but that's the way I understand it.
If I understand correctly, than this could be a pretty decent night for Trump if he gets the 58 delegates in AZ and then picks up maybe 13 in UT. Not to mention the 9 available in American Samoa.
Mormon me just voted for Trump in AZ. My Mormon MIL also came and voted for Trump, too. She didn’t like him at first, but since he has been moving to a more presidential tone, she began to listen to him and liked what he was saying.
We had a new voting location and it was interesting that for the first time I’ve seen, there were no political signs outside, whatsoever. At 9:30am, I was #92 and there was a steady stream of people. I was told that this was a strong turnout, especially since they were saying that 2/3 of the votes had already been cast in early voting.
My Mormon parents both voted for Trump at 8am and 60 people had already cast ballots before them.
Should be an interesting night tonight!
How many delegates for American Samoa? Did it vote yet?
