Which in no way alters the fact that so far Trump has received 37% of the votes cast, netting him a total of 48% of the delegates awarded, and that in order to get the nomination Trump has to win at least 53% of the 944 remaining delegates, which is much better than he has done so far in the campaign when there were more candidates splitting the vote and a 37% plurality was enough to win all of the delegates in a winner takes all state.
So the solution is to run another guy against Donald, split off enough votes to send it to a second ballot, in which the entire GOP as a block will dump Trump and Cruz, and re-nominate the failed candidate from last time, Romney.
Is that about right?
Because that sure seems to me, to be what is unfolding.
Now we are into winner take all. If he keeps winning 2/3 of the primaries he should be at least close.
“48% of the delegates awarded”
It looks like Trump has received 58% of the delegates since and including March 15 primaries
