You are correct. The six contests between now and 4/26 only have 284 delegates. The Trump folks are simply eager to find any reason for him to be coronated by circumstances, since he cannot seem to be elected by the votes. He hasn't topped 50% yet, in ANY state, or in total delegates. As many have been saying since NOV, he has a ceiling of about 49%, and the entire Primary process has been proving this for over 2 months now... but those who will not hear or see simply do not care.

April 19, New York · 95 delegates...
Apr 26, Connecticut · 28 delegates, Delaware · 16 delegates, Maryland · 38 delegates, Pennsylvania · 71 delegates, Rhode Island · 19 delegates

NOTE: PA is weird... 17 delegates are assigned by the overall winner ("WTA"), but 54 delegates (3 in each of the 18 districts) are elected directly, without the voter knowing exactly which candidate they support! The ballot simply says "uncommitted". Those 54 could all go to Kasich, even if the vote is 48-48-4 with Kasich on the bottom.

There is a list out on Twitter of who the PA delegates are supporting. Looks like most say they will go with their district winner. About 20 each are for Cruz and Trump. They could only find 1 or 2 who said they might at least be thinking of backing Kasich.

2 of the Cruz delegates were winning delegates in 2012, none of the Trumpers.
