Nah, Trump has 694 delegates
To reach 1237, Trump only needs 52% of the remaining 1040 delegates.
Some contests will be WTA as well. So long as Trump wins by the margins he’s already been winning, he will attain a comfortable majority of the delegates.
I don’t know. According to Cruz fans here, in a one on one race- Cruz will take states like New York, PA, NJ, CT, Wisconsin, California etc...
Just wait and see
Depends upon which site you check. But there are not 1040 delegates left. If you look at each state that has already voted and add up the delegates available, you get 1489 already allocated, leaving 983 delegate, of which 128 will be unpledged delegates. That only leaves 855 pledged delegates available. So even using your number of 694 delegates, that means Trump needs 543 delegates. 543/855= 63.5%, not 52%.
“To reach 1237, Trump only needs 52% of the remaining 1040 delegates.”
52% sounds like the number that I’ve heard GOPe insiders touting. They don’t think that Trump can get it, but then they are hoping that he won’t.
Thank you.... I mean Eureka!
I just did all the numbers too and it’s nice to meet someone who can do math too
So many Freepers are just damn stupid or bald faced liars
If Trump just continues at his pace he wins handily the 1237
If he does that and you throw in his 2/3 winning ratio with the 14 winner take all states and it’s a romp
Meanwhile Cruz needs 80% of all remaining delegates and all the big states plus most of the small ones too
Not going to happen
All this convention talk is to test waters just in case they got very lucky and to cast doubt
Look at the faces of Megyn and Rich and Beck and Stirewalt and Dana and Gutfeld
Despite what they say they know they lost
That’s why Megyn and Bret and Britt tried desperately for a final Trump Piñata debate next week.....an act of desperation....anything....
Ed Rollins
New Gingrich
Giuliani
Monica Crowley
Laura Ingraham
I heard or saw many today saying same thing
Levin is off the rails
Rush is trying to be Everyman
It’s just ridiculous
Cruz would have to win 497 of remaining delegates just to keep Trump from 1237 by one delegate
Trump would have 1236
Cruz would have 900
Cruz would have to double his win ratio of win New York and California and Jersey and Penn and Washington state
The odds are Agincourt odds at least
