1140 per Green Papers. 52 of those are unpledged, so he is going to want at least that many extra pledged delegates to help prevent mischief.
I was told he would never hit 1237, was I misinformed?
CNN is showing him at 1147...I have him at 1150 because CNN is waiting on the last 3 unbound delegates in WV to become clear.
So, CNN shows him lacking 90, I show him lacking 87.
I believe he gets all of Oregon and Washington in the next two weeks, which is another 72 delegates.
He will go into June lacking only bout 15 delegates for the victory and on June 7th he is going to blast past the needed number to as high as a total of 1,450 or more in my opinion.
Before Iowa, I predicted Trump at 1,300 ish delegates even though he was not my choice. I have not seen any reason to move off of that number.
Cruz should QUIT, release his delegates, and stop any further activities to steal delegates or have any role at the convention. He lost, it is over, and he needs to simply go home (presuming Heidi will let him).
Do the math. He can't get there until June 7. NJ will put him over the top before the results from CA come in.
But, Karl Rove said this would NEVER happen. Is it possible he is the one who got it wrong? He does have lots of company. I can’t think of a primary season where so many got so much wrong. Many flocks of crows are in danger.
Trump must not stop campaigning. He has to get every delegate that he can so that the #nevertrump crowd is driven into the wilderness.
