There are more candidates who support Trump (34) than there are who support Cruz. On top of that, 58 candidates say they’ll support whoever wins the popular vote in their district — which is likely to be Trump in most cases — and another five say they’ll support the statewide winner, which is also almost certain to be Trump. (There are 27 who are uncommitted.) That is to say, out of 125 candidates who’ve said how they plan to vote, nearly 80 percent of them are potential Trumpers, and unlike in previous state elections, Trump’s getting some help from local pols in Pennsylvania in organizing.
“On top of that, 58 candidates say they’ll support whoever wins the popular vote in their district”
As it should be. The whole country will be watching.
Those... those MONSTERS!!! ;)
Looks like small ball is backfiring on Teddy. :-)
The unbound delegates is largely a wash in PA... most will support whoever wins their district... the rest are pretty evenly split so odds are it will have little impact on the end breakdown... if Cruz picks up one in a district one by Trump... Trump will pick up on in a district won by Cruz...
Much ado about nothing.
So that means if 80 percent go with Trump, he will basically pick-up 100 out of 125 delegates.
845 + 100 Pa = 945
945 + 51 NJ = 996
945 + 101 CT, MD, DE, RI = 1,046
1046 + 34 WV = 1080
1080 + 36 OR, WA = 1,116
1,116 + 120 CA = 1236
This does not count Indiana. He wins Indiana, its over without even any backroom bargaining. Even without Indiana, I have no doubt Trump and Manafort will have no problem getting the extra delegates on the first ballot. This thing is over!
