The Pennsylvania numbers — Trump 49, Cruz 26, Kasich 22 — are eye-popping, but you should know the delegate rules there well enough by now to know there’s a catch. Namely, 54 of the 71 delegates are unbound regardless of what Republican voters do in the primary. In theory, Cruz could lose the popular vote by 25 points and still walk away with a majority of the state’s delegation in his pocket thanks to his delegate-wrangling operation.
-----------------------
In fact, per CBS/YouGov, 68 percent of Pennsylvania Republicans say delegates should back the statewide winner. That’s a big deal given how close he’s likely to be to 1,237 when the convention begins. If you’re a Trumper, the numbers in today’s poll are exactly what you want to see to make Pennsylvania’s delegates think twice about backing Cruz.

He’s pro bono.
Actually, I mean Big MO-mentum.
It has shifted.
Uncommitted delegates and those who have not voted yet, sort of like to go for a winner.
Cruz, like Kasich, is not so much, considering that both are mathematically denied 1,237 on the first vote.
Kasich thinks his delegates will give him positioning for the VP slot.
Cruz thinks his delegates will give him positioning on the 2nd or 3rd ballot. [The same establishment who are out to do Trump in are also out to due Cruz in. After the 2nd ballot, Cruz will look like Rubio after Rubio got the gang of 8’s immgration bill through the Senate and McCain/Schumer sidelined Rubio so they took the bows, accolades, and camera time on the newsies. Teddy is in for a rude awakening. If they can dump Trump, they can certainly dump Cruz.]
Trump’s gonna have even mo’ MO after Tuesday, and the IN lead should widen
The huge lead in PA may not mean much if Cruz is allowed to steal.
Yupp, and I think we may even see more endorsements from surprise high level people coming Trumps way after they see his overwhelming popularity in these upcoming states. I’m hoping Trump gets over 50% in PA, I’ll be voting on Tuesday.
Already got my delegates list from Trumps website, so I’m all set in the 10th district of PA on Tuesday. Never been more excited to cast a vote :)
If Trump wins PA big, it really doesn’t matter what Cruz does. The pressure will increase upon the RNC and the delegates. Denying Trump the nomination will mean political suicide. Cruz will have won a Pyrrhic and hollow victory.
Manafort ?
I'm already cringing at the prospect of POTUS Hillary with a Dem senate appointing 3 or 4 SCOTUS and the 2nd amendment being shredded.
I hope that most in PA go to Trumps website to get the names of the delegates.

So Cruz is in real trouble, hoping his tiny number of delegates can win over the more numerous Trump/uncommitteds-who'll-support-PA-winner.
It sounds pretty confusing to me, but process of elimination could help if Trump overlooks a list of his own. Grab a cruz list and a kasich list, then don’t vote for those. Before I vote in any election, I make sure to have all my ducks in a row. See what you can learn from your local party or election office ahead of time.
You should quit projecting. And by the way, it’s your candidate who has been fantasizing publicly about Trump in a dress and insisting that he has “no desire to copulate” with Trump.
You can find the official Trump delegate choices at:

There are some districts that do not have the full three delegates listed, but you can find more choices at Sean Hannity’s delegate guide:

Heard Manafort say he was working Pro-bono.
Because now you love Jesus and America.
I am VERY WORIED about INDY!!! This is a MUST WIN wish he were spending more time there!!!!
