Hehehe...there is no hurry. There’s a primary schedule and it will be what it is.

The people voting will decide and the first to get 1,236 delegates required to win, will be when we know.

A lot of people think that if Trump wins Iowa, New Hampshire, and South Carolina, that he will be a shoe in.

This is not so.

Those states are all proportional, so even if he gets 40% of them and others get 20% or so, he will not have that commanding of a lead.

He would have momentum...but that can change.

It will be when we start having the winner take all primaries that things will start to really happen.

After Super Tuesday we will have a better picture.

And...in order to be eligible for the nomination, a candidate MUST win outright, a minimum of 8 states, as well.
