Cruz has already won nine states or territories (Rule 40 calls for eight). Would you like me to list them?

I believe it's eight states with a majority of the delegates.Ted has not done that, and may, in fact, not do that.

He has to win with over 50%.

Rule 40 is about winning 50 percent of the delegates in 8 states, not just winning the state. Has he done that yet....I mean I thought he was getting close to that but looking at the stats just now, it doesn’t seem so. I see Texas, Idaho, Maine and Kansas.

At first I thought it meant 50 percent of the popular vote but its 50 percent of the delegates of the state.

who knows what else the GOPe will come up with, I thought I heard Rush say last week that the rule can even be changed one day before the Convention. ?
