According to Politico's delegate counter (http://www.politico.com/2016-election/results/delegate-count-tracker) there are 882 delegates left.
If this s true, here is the delegate math to elimination:
Cruz currently has 517 delegates so he needs to win 720 more (81.6%) of the remaining delegates to reach the 1237 magic number. So Cruz can only afford to lose a maximum of 162 delegates or he is mathematically eliminated.
Trump currently has 743 delegates so he needs to win 494 more (56%) of the remaining delegates to reach the 1237 magic number. So Trump can afford to lose up to 388 delegates without being mathematically eliminated.
Fact Cruz has lost delegates at a much higher rate than Trump throughout this primary.
It appears to me that Cruz is more than twice as likely as Trump to be mathematically eliminated.
If his continued efforts at thievery split and destroy the party, well be saddled by Hillary or burned by Bernie.”
Jim , you have got to be kidding. Thievery? Very disappointed.
Yep. If Cruz keeps doing what he’s doing, we’ll have the fellow who didn’t want to be Speaker of the House, but was
“forced into in”, will be forced into the president’s Whitehouse.
Sorry for the long sentence.
If it wasn’t for you.
Could not believe Rush’s comments today on Colorado. I don’t care what color your horse is, you cannot condone this delegate buying scheme. We’ve learned nothing from 2005 to 2008.

Seward had almost 75% of the delegates, but lost to Lincoln on the third ballot.
Welcome to TrumpRepublic!
Sad to say JimRob.
Unlike Seward.. Trump will have 90-95 percent of the delegates needed...
