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.

Winner take all helps him - I can't agree it's yet "certain".

Oh, he's the only one with a shot, I agree.

LOL! Maybe Boehner paid them off. ;D

Nice work. What happens to the delegates that “belong” to the candidates who have dropped out? Are they now free agents, or are they still bound to the now defunct campaigns? If they are free agents, to do as they please, and all back Cruz or Kasich, how does that change the math?

Thanks.
