“...Trump is the most likely to break 1,237 of anyone running...”

The odds are in his favor, but he hasn’t done it yet and now cruz and kasich are aligned. They don’t have to win — they just have to prevent trump from reaching 1237.

“...For anyone to get the majority in subsequent rounds, it will be against what the voters had selected, because the voters selected what was insufficient for a majority or for the proportionate vote tally that had existed...”

I don’t know what you were trying to say, but what you wrote is unintelligible gibberish. Bottom line - If trump is rejected by over half the electorate, he has no claim to the nomination. You can just as easily argue that *more* voters wanted someone *other* than trump. Why should he be entitled to the nomination under that circumstance? That circumstance is where “contested” and/or “brokered” conventions come into play. And if contested or brokered, all remaining candidates are in play. But you know that, right? Because you’ve taken the initiative to educate yourself about contested and brokered conventions to know the difference, right?

LMAO, Cruz and Kasich combined only have a total of 568 delegates! and you post that nonsense?

If they continue at the same rate, they will win about 386 more between them, leaving another 614 delegates for Trump, way more than he needs! But, the fact is, Cruz is declining, so keep on dreaming, troll!
