Wouldn’t change things. Like saying you prefer scoring in the 4th quarter rather than the first.
The only thing that matters is the score, and Trump came out of the last two weeks with 400 delegates, 32%, with only 29% of the states in. He’s ahead of schedule. Cruz is 24%, or well behind schedule. Moreover, Cruz has to win 65% of ALL the remaining 1600 delegates to win. Really?
What Trump has not gotten nearly enough credit for this entire campaign is keeping the main thing the main thing. Defeat #2. That’s all that matters. Now by how much, not #3, not whether or not you “overperformed” or “underperformed.” Just the delegates, ma’am.
By doing so he knocked down Carson when Carson was #2, then earlier Fiorina when she was all the “buzz,” and now that Cruz has emerged as #2 he just keeps winning, maybe not overwhelmingly like some want or expect, but just fine enough to keep those delegate totals moving the right direction.
Trump does not have 400 delegates yet.
