In ten days, April 26th, if calculations are correct, it will be mathematically impossible for Cruz to win.
thegatewaypundit.com reports: As we noted on the 2nd, “Even if Cruz wins a third of the delegates in Rhode Island or Connecticut or any of these states, it will not be enough to keep him mathematically in the race.”
Now it looks like Cruz will not only be mathematically eliminated from obtaining enough delegates to win the election outright by April 26th, he may also have fallen to third place in the polls by the end of April, too.
Based on current conservative estimates, come April 26th, Cruz will need 657 delegates to win the election but only 585 will be left leaving him mathematically out of the race.
Trump will only need 279 delegates or less than 50% of the delegates remaining to win the nomination.
And according to our conservative estimates – Trump should gain 1237 delegates by June 7th making him the Republican nominee.

Oh noze!
This may wind up teaching Trump a valuable lesson....he still wins, but had to work hard and make changes on the fly...realizing he has to do more than just coast on momentum he creates.
Taking lessons from this vs the nutjobs extreme on the left in the fall.
The question is, will the RNC actively try to sabotage him
[In ten days, April 26th, if calculations are correct, it will be mathematically impossible for Cruz to win.]
But math is so hard. I’m sure the GOPe is still trying to figure out if there’s a way to wreck it.
Thanks for the laugh. I love simple, stupid (in a good way) humor. Awesome plane.
Do you like Cruz because he helped ObamaTRADE,
lied about ObamaCARE, or is a globalist?
It is doubtful you support his whoring,
failing to deny it specifically and precisely,
or his blackmail payoffs, right?
If Trump cannot get the 1,237 delegates on the first round to win the nomination, all bets are off...
It’s anybody game...
Disappointing from you. One of the PDD cultists? Sad.
BTTT
He really was finished with SC.
Ted Bush will do whatever his Bush family masters order him to do.
I like him because
He is pro life
He shut down the federal government in 2013
He won five very Supreme Court results
He has Texas values not New York values
He has the right enemies
He has the highest rank of any elected official from ACU.
I could go on.
Pinhead Denying Doctors?
I got no opinion on Zika or pinheads.
“In ten days, April 26th, if calculations are correct, it will be mathematically impossible for Cruz to win.”
Not important. The number to win hasn’t changed, I don’t think. Only number that matters.
With a total loss in Wyoming and Montana, 96 in California and half only of the uncommitted, I could see him hitting pretty close to the 1,237-1,240 mark.

I guess we’re gonna find out.
Only in YOUR head...How about Michigan???? or did you forget about that? Yeah, thought so, you can only remember 1 minute to the next...
Says THE most obnoxious Freeper, obnoxiously.
Some Cruz hanger-ons are spouting off that Cruz is not eliminated until Trump wins 1237. They are obviously thinking 2nd Ballot, or 3rd.
Cruz eliminated mathematically means he can not win the nomination outright with a majority.
After he is eliminated mathematically, the only reason for him to stay in the race is to try and stop Trump.
Cruz in my view has sunken to very low ground. I’ve unfortunately noticed in his responses to world events that he first always tries to find a way to blame Donald Trump. This is an unhealthy fixation. His repeating this pattern of behavior indicates a psychosis which can colloquially be described as “having a screw loose”.
You still crack me up. (and I know you don't care.)
Go check them cages, Mordecai.
Some of your snakes might get loose before
the handlin’ tomorry, praise the lowered.
Trump never focused his cannons on Kasich. So far when Trump has, Rubio, Bush, Now Cruz, they immediate begin to drop. Hope in California, Cruz popularity will be so blown, that Trump can make quick work of Kasich.
