Missouri is a winner take all State that has 52 Delegates up for grab, and it's likely to go to Trump. If Trump wins it, then he will have won 213 Delegates yesterday alone. Don't forget that Trump won 9 Delegates from the Northern Mariana islands in case my Delegate count is off by 9.
At this point I don't understand why Kasich is still even in the running? Winning your home State is nothing to brag about. That should be an automatic for any Presidential Candidate. For the good of the party Kasich should step down. The Candidates need to quick attacking each other..., go after Hillary, Obama and the Democrats on the campaign trail.
If Kasich does not step down at this point, then he is simply hurting the Republican Party for personal gain. Trying to push for a Brokered convention, because you don't like the outcome of the votes, at this point would be disastrous for the Republican party. Although I'm sure the Democrats would be very happy. Hence, why I say GOPe = Democrat Operative.
As for Cruz he had a horrible day, Moreover, looking at Cruz's complete loss in the South East to Trump is a colossal failure.
No it's not. It's proportional. The winner gets 12 delegates and I believe the rest are apportioned to the winner of each Congressional district.
I don’t believe Missouri is a winner-take-all state. I think that the candidate who wins the majority gets 12 delegates, and the remaining 40 delegates are allocated to the winners of the respective congressional districts. Last I saw, Trump won all but two of the congressional districts, and one of those two was too close to call between him and Cruz.
Kasich is hanging around to be a Veep, despite his denials.
MO delegate info ping.
I’m surprised the GOPe allowed Rubio to quit. That idiot Rush seems to think Bush will get the brokered nomination. This is all crazy. Some representative republic we have! Time for HUGE change.
If Cruz is a true outsider and wants to hurt the Establishment he needs to support Trump and eliminate their brokered convention. Losing the South ended his chances.
Pray America wakes
I have a feeling Trump is going to pick someone that no one expects as a VP, that will help him slam dunk the victory. I am working on a name or names but it's just not quite there yet.
Real Clear Politics lists MO as a winner take all state.
http://www.realclearpolitics.com/epolls/2016/president/republican_delegate_count.html
MO is winner take most. Trump will for sure get 20, and is likely to get 47, out of 52 total. Cruz will get at least 5.
Rush is not an idiot and he did not say Jeb would get the nomination in a brokered convention. He DID say that that is what the party powers/establishment would want, and Snerdly thought it would be Ryan, instead.
The amount of half-baked information is making people look basically uninformed and plain out wrong.
They are winner take all only if one candidate wins at least 50% +1, otherwise it’s proportional.
Missouri — Nine at-large delegates are allocated to the statewide winner, and five delegates are allocated to the winner of each congressional district. If a candidate gets over 50 percent he or she gets all the delegates.
The tedster last night (paraphrase) “We are the only ones that have beaten Trump not once, not twice, not three times ,we’ve beaten him nine times so we’ll continue our momentum on the way to the 1237 (or whatever) delegates.” Uh, what? But MO was real close.
That website says the winner takes all, if the winner takes more than 50% in the vote.
Not sure whether there is anyone over 50%.
I doubt that.
RCP is wrong.
MO you get 5 per Congressional District won and 12 for wining the state.
Cruz gets at least 5, Trump gets at least 20.
If Trump wins the CDs he is ahead in and the state, he gets 47 delegate out of 52.
If Cruz wins everything currently left on the table, he gets 32 to Trumps 20
I thought I heard someone last night say that whoever wins gets a bonus 10 delegates in MO in addition to the proportional number.
What’s new? Jeb Junior has always been running for VP.
The Democrats/socialists/soros are also joining the GOPe and world establishment with the sole purpose of stopping Trump.
Trump is the ONLY one that the media , the Gope , world establishment are out to destroy. So that tells you he is the only one for WE the people, and for America and for freedom.
Politicians have destroyed America and have America about to be thrown into the abyss of socialism.Anyone even Cruz or cruz bots that are helping to defeat Trump is pushing us into the abyss , the destruction of America and our living standards.
Cruz has failed and should bow out, in my opinion. They all need to come together and get behind Trump.
Starting today, on the Democrat side, it’s the Hillary show. She crushed Bernie last night, his campaign is essentially over. Even if he stays in, Hillary’s momentum is too strong to be stopped now.
So now, we have day 1 of Hillary’s general election campaign. The GOP needs to get their s**t together and quick if they hope to stop her. We can’t afford another 2 months of BS mudslinging while she’s out being all smiles and rainbows and unicorn farts.
