You know what would be some nice “help” for Trump? The media not being lying pieces of s**t. And by that I mean just about everyone, including every site that supposedly keeps track of delegates.
Absolutely everywhere, there’s a game on to deny and mitigate even the PERCEPTION of Trump’s lead, and every delegate counts. The most recent example is Missouri. Everywhere lists the delegate split as 25/15 between Trump and Cruz. No one adds the 12 state-win delegates to the count.
Trump won districts 1, 2, 3, 6, and 8, and Ted Cruz got 4, 5, and 7, all worth 5 each. It makes no sense to not add the 12 votes to Trump’s total, making it 37/15. If the certification of the results changes things, so be it, and it wouldn’t be the first time it’s happened, in this election even. That’s why they call it a projection.
The only reason not to give Trump his proper estimate is perception. 25/15 makes the state look more competitive than 37/15, and the media is desperate to undermine Trump and give the illusion that Cruz has a shot to get the delegates he needs when, realistically, he doesn’t, because he’s not going to get 80%+ of the remaining delegates.
And that’s not even getting started on the whole “Trump is so violent” nonsense every time leftist BLM rioters show up to harass Republicans going to their candidate’s rallies. Even the Republican elites and the other presidential candidates join in that dogpile.
So, when we talk about “help”, the first “help” anyone could possibly give would be a level playing field.
But, despite all of this, I expect Trump will prevail, because he’s an actual leader who powers through adversity, instead of cowering and tucking tail like just about every other Republican over the last 30 years.
The funny thing is, Trump is actually demonstrating through all the vitriol and obstacles against him, that he can still run a successful campaign and be in the lead. Trump has certainly worked the hardest and earned every bit of his support. Amazing. Haters gonna hate.
