Thanks for starting these threads so early. They help my ride to work go a little quicker and on my way home tonight I’m sure this thread will be hopping with activity over these two rallies and whatever the news of the day will be. Maybe we get some more polling data.
I did some research over the weekend on Ohio. Apparently those 66 delegates are bound to Kasich on the first ballot even if Kasich drops out, unless Kasich makes a formal request to have them unbound, in which case they can vote as they please on the first ballot. Still unclear. These various state rules on delegates are as clear as mud. No wonder Cruz and his lawyers are having a field day manipulating them and saying to the rest of us “dem’s the rules.”
Anyway, it is becoming certain that Trump will have plenty enough delegates for a first ballot victory. Chances are good Trump will sweep Indiana tomorrow and collect all 57 flavored.
Next month, I will be driving through Indiana on vacation. I think I will plan a stop in Carmel.
I thought I read differently.
Won’t matter. The guy is a loser and has no leverage with Trump.
will you be driving thru NE Ohio?
Wouldn’t that lower the number of delegates required, then, if KaSick didn’t request to have these 66 delegates go to the presumptive nominee?
It seems like they would either have to go with (Trump) or not be counted, towards the total requirement. But, like you said....all of this delegate debacle dilemma is clear as mud.
And, like Trump says....it won’t matter, because he’ll have more than enough delegates for victory, on that first ballot.
