1396 delegates is the final projection for Trump where he ends up. Going into June 7th Trump would have 1180 delegates. The Trump philosophy can only be described by coach Bobby Knight who said the following:

" If we are involved in something we want to win... we are going to try and beat your ass every time!"

This morning the GOP is frantically signaling all of its dead-enders. Stand Down! Do NOT hit that self-destruct switch on the party!

I donated to Trump. I think every Trump supporter should donate. I think we should swamp him with donations. Trump didn’t need to do this, he owes us nothing. Yet he wants to pay back for what this country has done for him.

“The secret of fortune is joy in our hands. Welcome evermore to gods and men is the self-helping man. For him all doors are flung wide. Him all tongues greet, all honors crown, all eyes follow with desire. Our love goes out to him and embraces him because he did not need it.”
- Ralph Waldo Emerson

Yep. It’s going to be The Donald. Now he’s got to figure out how to unify the party he spent the last year dividing.

I have maintained all along that Trump will have to win 50% in some election in order to win the Republican nomination.

If he gets 50% of the primary votes, he is going to get to 1237, no matter what.

If he can string together a series of 50%+ wins in a bunch of primary states, particularly as the process moves into the final months, he will get to 1237.

If he can’t get to 1237 through the primary process, then he would have to get to 1237 at the convention. This has always been the most problematic of the three for Trump, since he is such a party outsider. It is my opinion that if Trump is not at 1237 on the first ballot, he will not get there on any subsequent ballot.

So for Trump to win the nomination, he has to start stringing together a series of 50%+ victories in the primaries. Since New York, he has been doing just that. If this trend continues, he will go into Cleveland with 1237 delegates, he will be the Republican nominee, and I will support him.

Trump was not my first choice. But if he is the choice of the Republican Party, then he is my guy.

Of course, I would vote for a dead dog in the street before I cast a vote for Hillary Clinton.

I also suspect that Team Trump will try to secure the support of as many of the unbound delegates before the convention, so that he can get 1500 on the first ballot.
