Donald Trump is now the only Republican presidential candidate with a realistic chance of winning the 1,237 votes to clinch the nomination before the national convention this summer.
But getting there will be a tough undertaking, and one that leaves little room for error.
Trump's commanding victory in New York, where he won more than 60% of the vote and the vast majority of the 95 delegates up for grabs, marked a turning point in the delegate race. The Manhattan real estate mogul now has improved his chances of winning the nomination outright, while his chief rival, Ted Cruz, would need a minor miracle to win on the first ballot.

Just a gut feeling, but I think that Trump will not not painfully inch past that magic number.
IMO, he will reach a tipping point, perhaps 1,100 or 1,200 and then suddenly surge well past the 1,237 as all the “want to be with a winner” voters decide to join the bandwagon.
Who remembers, way back when, Chastity Bono was this cute kid on the Sonny and Cher show? And there was “Laugh-In” and “The Flip Wilson Show”?
And America didn’t have the 24/7 garbage it has now.
When you could drive to the local Tastee-Freeze and get a burger and fries and a Coke?
Man, need a time machine......
Teddy’s gonna be needing well over 100% of the remaining delegates when next Tuesday night passes.
We’ll see more of what we saw in JimRob’s thread from yesterday with a few more blowups, I think.
I’m against sex perverts of any type using publicly accessible, multi-person restrooms.
Really makes you wonder: Is this how Cruz "worked with" his fellow Senators in Congress? All along we had been fed the line he was hated because of the "principled" stands he took; maybe instead it was because he was just a jerk to his colleagues, and had never learned how to keep his composure when challenged.
Believe it or not, I ran some numbers and Ted will be lucky to only need 127% of the remaining delegates after 04/26.
That one day will change his “must get” from roughly 101% to 127%.
Ouch!
It could wind up in the 131% range. I tried to be generous.

At the same time, Trump will need around 51%. LOL
And if you believe all the stories, he’s been this way since he was a teenager - an arrogant know it all who simply rubs people the wrong way. I think that almost speaks to his intelligence and discipline in a way. He’s managed to be this successful IN SPITE of how much of a jerk he is.
I agree. But we're gonna have one or the other. I think the biggest problem is that we are debating which bathroom they should be using, instead of promoting the fact these mentally ill individuals that think they can somehow self identify as whatever they want need to be locked away in a mental institution.
There will still be “Common Core Math” here I predict.
Oh, and spam threads interjected.
Let’s see if I’m correct!
I’m still not really seeing any poll results for Indiana. There’s one obscure one out there that has Trump up by 15 points over Kasich, Cruz will be lucky to win anything in Indiana. We’ll have to wait and see.
Yes he can!
He is the change you can believe in.
Oh you will be.
Lol. Right? +1
The GOP Establishment money doesn’t keep coming if he drops out. He’s gotta pay back that $1 million to his Goldman Sachs account, right? He borrowed that money.
Also, the money stops if the spam threads stop, so........I predict more next Wednesday morning.
It doesn’t seem like the same country. Because it isn’t, in so many ways.
Looks like it’ll all come down to Indiana. I’ll be doing some volunteering for Trump for the next couple of weekends.
“When Kasich was mathematically eliminated, it was CRUZ who was calling on him to drop out, now that Cruz has been likewise eliminated, that f—kin’ hypocrite shows no sign of doing what he was telling Kasich to do. “
But....but he’s a Christian!
And a Conservative too!
(and a TRAITOR too)
Thanks for the help.
