Charleston, WV

Charleston is the capital and largest city of the State of West Virginia. It is located at the confluence of the Elk and Kanawha Rivers in Kanawha County. As of the 2013 Census Estimate, it had a population of 50,821, while its metropolitan area had 224,743. It is a center of government, commerce, and industry.

Early industries important to Charleston included salt and the first natural gas well. Later, coal became central to economic prosperity in the city and the surrounding area. Today, trade, utilities, government, medicine, and education play central roles in the city's economy.

You are technically correct but suspension seems to be tied to money management more than actual delegates.

Hi, According to what I’ve heard, they have given Trump all the delegates due to his being the only candidate left, and that they aren’t having the election, which was a direct election and is very expensive.

My understanding is that whether one person votes, or one hundred thousand people vote, Trump will get the votes, therefore the delegates. It seems quirky, after all of the poached delegates so far, but Trump isn’t going to blow his leg off, at least this way- losing delegates of his own accord.

"Suspended" is a legal term of art. Nominally, it means no money for campaigning, advertising, road trips, rallies, etc. But the ballots don't change, and the votes still count.

In practice, not many people vote for a candidate who has suspended. More than zero, but not many. Might be different this cycle, due to strong #NeverTrump sentiment. Trump needs to keep running, but WV is in the bag anyway. The fact that he's running rallies in other states tells me he knows he is still running.

Okay...as long as the primary election is really cancelled.

I’ve not heard that reported.

I need to see proof of this.

I call BS on this even though Trump said it.

Why wouldn’t WV delegates be already reflected in the current delegate count?

I hope Mr. Trump has that in writing and that it’s official.

He needs those delegates AWARDED TO HIM.

I’m trying to find this out, now.

Can’t find anything, just yet.

If anyone gets the scoop, please ping.

Maybe Trump is scooping the MSM...LOL.

I’ve heard, and can’t remember from where because it was online and fast, but since Trump is the only candidate left, he wins the delegates in WV, and they will not have their election, which is a direct election and to my knowledge very expensive. I sort of heard this and thought oh that’s cool. Then now I come here and we’re seeing Ted Cruz still trying to win stealth delegates on the West Coast.
