Trump wins additional New Hampshire delegate

Donald Trump is walking away with one more delegate in New Hampshire than media estimates predicted, at the expense of Marco Rubio.

The New Hampshire secretary of State's office released the certified GOP delegate count Monday, showing Trump with 11 delegates to the national convention. Ohio Gov. John Kasich, the second-place winner, received four delegates. Former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush and Sen. Ted Cruz won three, while Rubio, a Florida senator, won two.

That's a slight difference from The Associated Press' estimation from primary night, which had 10 delegates for Trump and three for Rubio.

Rubio finished with 10.6 percent, just behind Bush's 11 percent. But while the AP believed the near tie would lead to a tie in the delegates, the new count confirms that is not the case.

That new total leaves Trump with 68 delegates so far toward the national convention, far ahead of a second-place Cruz with 11. Rubio sits in third with 9 delegates.

Jeb Bush's three delegates from New Hampshire are free to back a new candidate of their choice, according to state law.

No, Bush does not decide, the state R party decides.

Thanks.

That’s about the same in this case I’d guess.

Thanks!
Still a good question...
What does New Hampshire do with Jeb’s 4 delegates?

The Punditocracy still think Rubio is winning.

I've been keeping this delegate count graphic updated for the Free Republic Caucus Results Page.

It lists all candidates who have obtained delegates.

I adjusted it to reflect the Trump +1 and Rubio -1 today in New Hampshire. Just above in post I'm responding to here.

And then what, given the extreme unlikelihood of trump defeating the Clinton-msm machine? Start a trade war? Deport Muslims? Round up illegals? Repeal Obamacare w a dem senate? Trump is a fraud and doesn’t understand even basic civics.
