Thanks - 45% reporting in Maine? So, Google’s counts are totally slow?
What are you following for counts & %'s?
Agree. Trump needs at least 69 delegates tonight to stay on track.
If things stay the way they are in KY and ME, he has 35 coming out of KS, ME, and KY for a total of 373.
He won’t get 34 in LA—he’d need 73% of the vote. But he could get 20-22, which puts him at 393-395. After adjustments in the other states, he might be over 400.
Gotta tell ya though it was a huge mistake for Donald not to do C-pac. Marco gave a really good speech even with the Flu. He answered questions from Dana bash,cnn, of all people! She was in the lions den very hostile audience for her. It was humorous but he came off really well.After all conservatives are not as crass unruly and idiotic as the hard lefties are.
Not making fun of it but pointing out how much Cruz has banked on his support from evangelicals and how that has not panned out as he wanted especially in the South. Having watched Cruz, I don't see how he appeals to the same audience that Trump appeals to.
Cruz's delivery is very prepared, very lecture oriented and lacks broad appeal.
Having watched the debates, it's tough to believe anything anyone of these prepared politicians say anymore. What they say is just noise. Just wind out of their mouths to say whatever is needed to get elected.
His % in KY now just gave him another delegate, so he’s at 34 tonight with LA to come in. I figure him at 45% for LA. Every 2 points he’s above that he should get another delegate. So he would right now be at 395, or 6 short of the 65 goal and 10 short of the “nice to have” goal.
Either keeps him well ahead of the chains, probably about 16% ahead of where he needs to be.
Where’s the evidence the GOP has EVER been competent at vote fraud. The only example I know of is the last MS senate primary. They may well want to use it, but they’re not smart enough to use it effectively.
Backpedaling now huh? That’s not what the cartoon was about.
No. I think I spoke to it. It's clear that Trump has a bigger tent then Cruz. Trump puts states in play that Cruz never could.
#226 kind of say maybe like the Manhattan liberal that was flipping positions on issues during the last debate.
“I am softening my position...”
Yeah okay.
Cruz has flipped on stuff, so what’s your point?
“My take: The state-level GOP does not have voter fraud developed to the fine art that the Dems have, so my take is no, but not because of will, because of means. “
Your assessment is spot on.
The Nazi rats, with soros’ assistance, will win the presidency. The voter fraud will be obvious that either Cruz or Trump won.The country will be ripped apart, as the leftists declare Hillary the winner and everyone else will recognize the GOP candidate as the winner.
We will see two presidents in America and that will explode into the 2nd civil war.

Those must be the same polls that had Carter ahead of Reagan by 30 points at this time in 1980.
No, they are the same polls that Trump’s supporters pull out to prove how dominant their candidate is.
Either the polls are accurate, or they are not. You can only choose one.
