No he cannot. But that’s not the ultimate question. Can Trump get to 1,237? Don’t think it is likely that this happens either. Looks like a contested convention to me.

Why do I say that? So far Trump has received about 47% of the delegates. He would need to get almost 54% of the remaining delegates. The history says that will not happen.

Had Rubio dropped out two weeks ago it would absolutely be a contested convention. Now it only appears likely...FWIW.

Think you’re numbers are wrong. Trump is a little higher in percentage of delegates won. It’s a heavy lift, but he’ll get there. There are many favorable states for him that Ted will not perform well.

Trump is going to get the necessary delegates easily.

I’m going to remind you that your hunch was wrong

14 of the remaining 20 primaries are winner take all

only two are proportional

The rest are winner take most

Trump just keeps at the pace of winning states like he has and it’s over

Easy over

2 out of 3 is his pattern so far and if he keeps that uphe gets 700 more delegates to come

There are 1061 left.....he has 673.....

Trump will get around 1400 is my guess

Does nobody around here work on this but me?

This talk is just Megyn Kelly pillow biting muffled wishful thinking on Xanax and Merlot crap
