Donald Trump has reached the number of delegates needed to clinch the GOP presidential nomination, securing his status as the presumptive Republican nominee and avoiding a contested convention, according to a delegate count released Thursday by the Associated Press.
The AP reports that Trump was has reached 1,238 delegates, put over the 1,237 needed to win the nomination by a small number of the party’s unbound delegates who said they would support him at the convention. Trump will most likely add more delegates to his total before...

Trump garners unbound delegates!
TOO delicious that it was Fox News that broke the headline news: 1238!! At every turn, with so many impossible and comedic victories for the Trump Train, how can we even doubt that God is in the midst of it. We get the win, He gets the glory!
If the GOPe pulls anything dirty now, tens of millions of voters will see to the party’s complete destruction.
They’re trying to trick Trump into not bothering with the remaining states.
Go for the knockout!!
Your vote DOES count. Do not doubt this. Trump needs to win as many of the remaining delegates as possible. I put nothing past these slimy, inside-the-beltway, country club Republicans.
Trump does not need to let up. Pedal to the metal all the way to the White House.
I think Trump is smart enough to keep campaigning and energize voters in the remaining states.
Better to go to the convention with a hundred delegates to spare in order to deliver the message.
Against all odds.
Trump or Bust
To be fair, he works overtime to assure that the pop culture depiction of white conservative republicans is an easily befuddled, chronically wrong asshat.
TaDa!
Hewitt keeps saying he’s an “impartial commentator” but he’s bias and disdain for Trump is so obvious.
“Cruz is probably still conspiring.”
No doubt about it! Lyin Ted and Heidi are not finished! After all, Heidi the grand composer of the North American Union documents, promised Ted she would make sure he became President of “North America”. She probably said, “Just imagine dear, you will be President of “Beautiful Canada”, “the states” and “Beautiful Mexico”. You will be the very first President of North America!”
it can’t be “just enough”, we need shock and awe levels so that there is no wiggle room for disruptors to make ANY demands. (prime time speeches etc.)
The wall should be in the party platform.
etc.
I thought our man, Donald, had about 28 delegates to go but must be some unbound delegates made a pledge to him. I do know that coming up on the 7th there are about 303 more delegates available. Sure Donald will do well and end up well over the 1238!
Now we just have to make sure Donald wins our Sunshine State come November like he did in our Primary!!:)
Trump will be well above 1400. Probably close to 1500. He should take just about all of the 303 delegates available on June 7. WTA's in NJ (51), SD (29) and MT (27). He should get all of CA's 177 delegates and will likely take every delegate in NM (24), so long as no one else gets to 15% there.
Mercifully, Hewitt is now on so early on the West Coast that I do not have to suffer through his show any longer. I’ve quit listening to Medved, though I may return after the election. It’s not that I need to hear an echo chamber reverberating Trump’s virtues (I’m not a Trump fan per se), but fair is fair and when every show begins with a critique of Trump, and his every move is criticized, I’ve had enough.
If Trump does follow through to win this election, a slew of conservative commentators will have lost all credibility. They have assured us that Trump cannot win, that polls show he will be the second coming of Barry Goldwater, and that the Republican Party will be fractured for a generation. If this does not happen there will be dinosaur sized egg on their faces. Honorable men would step down from their shows, but I doubt that will happen.
Now Kasich can shut up and go home.F’n finally!
