Can Donald Trump really hit 1,237 before Cleveland?

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.

The GOPe will deny 1237 to him by hook AND by crook.

And even if they don't, what's to stop them from pulling a "Murkowski" and having Kasich run a write-in campaign.

“It’s expected that Trump will pick up a sizable chunk of California’s 172-delegate haul on June 7, meaning the real wild card will be Indiana. The Hoosier State, which votes on May 3, offers 57 delegates. Like in New York, it employs a hybrid system that awards those delegates on both winner-take-all basis statewide and by congressional district. “

IIRC Indiana is open prim which helps Trump. With the head of steam Trump will have going into IN Cruz will probably finish last again.

Maybe your system has a Cruz-Troll virus, planted by some disgruntled cultist out there? I suspect they've been wanting to 'erase' me for quite some time, lol

Ted is starting to remind me of an old SNL skit with John Belusi...

Yep, it's over for Trump now.

...while his chief rival, Ted Cruz, would need a minor miracle to win on the first ballot.

Minor miracle? I think we're talking about a raising the dead, water into wine-level miracle at this point.

“Well, well, well, another generic poster with an empty FR page, no indicator of where they are or where they’re from,”

Yeah, I was about to ping you, but you are too fast : ) She is spamming Wis. all over FR today.

She must not be a very important GOPe troll, they gave her an old assignment today (Wisconsin?!?) and she even screws that up.

She'll be riding the lightning soon enough.

If she's lucky, she'll get to try out this new baby:

Thank you. I’ve tried explaining this a number of times, but it’s impossible for Cruz-holes to actually absorb facts and information. They’ve “built that wall,” but it’s around their minds.

[onyx]

LOL.

Well, that one is DUMB and I was a little pizzed.

I have to hurry now or I will be late for my appointment with my doctor.

He expects me to bring my puppy, Louie to I have to get both of us ready!

[onyx]

Right!!!

Back later.

[caww]

Cruz wins and voters have been marginalized by the media from the get go. As is the media’s nature THEY are once more appointing the candidates and framing the entire race.

It’s all about perception.....half truths and even outright lies are the norm, while truth crashes against the rocks of deception.

By the end of the Sunday Go To Meetin’ services, I suspect the womenfolk of this country will have an immediate impact on the men in their lives who support Trump.

No one wants PERVERTS to have access to our women and childrens locker rooms or bathrooms. Except liberals.

AND DONNY THE DEMONRAT DONOR!
He could no longer contain his inner liberal....heh.

HE HIT FOR THE CYCLE TODAY TOO. What a conservative huh?

Jedi. WAKEY WAKEY!
