Here is what I was talking about yesterday.

Note how many delegates and the percent of the remaining delegates each candidate needs to win.

With winner take call, Trump is now certain to get the delegates needed. Compare his needs with that of Cruz or the others.

While you're at it, look at the (red, toward the bottom, just off center to the right) number of unassigned delegates out of those who have been decided so far. Looks like they are dragging their feet reporting out so as to downplay the importance of yesterday's primaries, and the size of Trump's dominance.

It’s not clear that Trump will get a majority. What IS clear is the will-of-the-people-be-damned attitude of the GOPe.

I hate this crap. In 2012, nobody was saying Romney may have problems getting the delegates and that was with Santorum winning 11 states.

There are two clear indicators after last night:

1) The only real candidates left are Trump and Cruz.

2) Kasich is an absolute jerk. He has no chance yet he is thrusting the whole process potentially into a contested convention. He may have guaranteed that the system is dysfunctional now.

With Rubio out the speculation is that his supporters would gravitate toward Cruz which could shift the delegate balance during the rest of the primaries giving us a contested convention.

Meanwhile the dims are solidifying behind the hildabeast while the republicans (again) self flagillate.

I predicted before Iowa, that Trump would go into the convention with about 1,300 delegates, enough for the nomination. I have not seen anything to change that number.

[fortheDeclaration]

More wishful thinking from the GOPe.

Kasich only won his own State I believe, by 8 pts.

Trump is going to roll over the rest of the States.

That was written before the night was over and delegates were assigned.

Now that we can see how many delegates Trump actually got last night.... Trump has an EASY path to the nomination since he got nearly every delegate last night besides Ohio.

All i know is i will never vote for Trump, write in Cruz if i have too. It’s not a big deal so don’t get pissy i live in Maine and Hillary will win Maine.

[yuleeyahoo]

Trump performs poorly in Caucuses and quite well in primaries. How many caucuses remain?

[A CA Guy]

Huh? What planet does this come from and could you give us your stock choices so we could get rich betting against them?
