It’s too late. Trump has the momentum, the poll numbers, and in 36 hours will have over a third of the delegates he needs to outright win the nomination.

I’m a Cruz supporter and will still vote for him in my Primary, but Trump has this thing sewn up.

He has 82 delegates as of right now. Tomorrow he will likely get another 350 (low end) to 425 (high end). He’s just dominating. He needs 1,237 to win outright, even without rule 40(b) making it impossible for anyone else to even be nominated.

If he ends up with 500 tomorrow, he just has to focus on the winner take all states of:

California (172)
Florida (99)
Pennsylvania (71)
Illinois (69)
New Jersey (51)
Indiana (46)
Wisconsin (42)
Maryland (38)

If he wins those, that takes him to 1,088, just 149 delegates short.

And then you need to look at some of the big proportional states that he is doing well in:

New York (95)
Michigan (59)
North Carolina (55)
Virginia (49)
Louisiana (46)
Washington (44)

If he is 149 short, then he only needs to win 42% just from those States. And that assumes that he doesn’t get a single delegate from the other 18 State contests.

Tomorrow will tell us if Trump clinches before or on April 19th, the day of New York’s primary.
