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...

"No one is getting to 1237. I'm not getting to 1,237 before the convention, but neither is Donald Trump."

There is no guarantee of what will transpire at the ‘con’vention. I still don’t trust the gopE regardless of their statements about unity.

1238 delegates? 1238 Delegates!

I fully expect the next move by the GOPe is to start qualifying delegates.
Or maybe start creating SuperDelegates. I know some think it is a little late for that, but this is a Washington based party.

Trump was put over the top in the Associated Press delegate count by a small number of the party’s unbound delegates who told the AP they would support him at the convention. Among them is Oklahoma GOP chairwoman Pam Pollard.

Could you imagine him setting up a podium with a sign reading “office of the president elect” on November 6th and talking policy till Obamas last day. Them asking them to move their family and/or friends from the house designated for the president. Oh and singing that song nana nana nana nana hey hey hey goodbye when Obama leaves the white house.

I hope he doesn't. But, perhaps O would see just how inappropriate all of it was.

They will have a “temporary ban” on Trump delegates until they “figure it all out”.

I will be rather reserved on this until after the 7th of June.

While I do think Trump is very close, I’m not convinced he’s over 1237 yet. I lean toward 10-20 points down still.

I have always considered the reports to be rough estimates. This is confirmed by the fact that no two reporting sites have the exact same numbers.
