FR Caucus discussion ping

[Jeff Head]

Despite the OH loss to Kasich, and the two close races with Cruz in Missouri and NC, this was a huge night for Trump.

I show him winning 207 delegates on the night. Cruz will pick up about 80, and Kasich about 74.

At this stage, Trump has over a 200 delegate lead. With all the winner take all states coming up, I expect he is going to get to the magic number before the convention...but it may take him until June 7th now.

IMHO, Cruz has no path to an out right win now. The best he could do would be to win enough to deny the total math to Trump, and at this stage I feel that is a very outside chance in any case.

The absolute best Cruz should do now for the GOP and for the country would be to throw in with Trump as his VP.

At this stage, that would be my suggestion.

Sometime in April, make the deal for a Trump/Cruz ticket.

That would result in an absolute slam dunk against the GOPe, a slam dunk in numbers of delegates going into the convention, allow Trump to be in charge of the party rules, and unite the party for the general election against Hillary.

For some reason I am still getting results from the 14th when I click on the results link on tonight’s caucus. I hit the refresh button, but that did not help.

I had a problem tonight.

Not sure what brought it about, but I put a flawed set of figures on the site, and then couldn’t get their replacement to refresh.

It was there, I just couldn’t get my browser to see the replacement data.

I try not to post in error and then have to replace.

Tonight I blew it.

Tomorrow should be back to normal.

Take care.
