SPECIAL REPORT: HUGE Pennsylvania Delegate UPDATE
AMERICA’S FREEDOM FIGHTERS ^ | Brett MacDonald

Posted on 04/27/2016 11:33:38 AM PDT by UMCRevMom@aol.com

Trump killed it in Pennsylvania collecting 48 *assured* delegates in total–with the possibility of MORE joining Team Trump in just a short while. Despite all the naysayers, despite all those that said he was the product of low info voters, and even despite one of the most formidable ground games–Trump came out on top in Tuesday's contest. Taking a majority of the unbound delegates and carrying all 5 states during last night's primary showdown, Donald J. Trump is full steam ahead with all the momentum behind him.

This showing in Pennsylvania was critical. It cannot be emphasized enough. Next week Trump will square of in Indiana with Cruz (and a somewhat less competitive Kasich who has agreed to tone down his presence in Hoosier State) and a decisive victory then could mean the end of the road for the #NeverTrump sell-outs.

We will keep you updated as our research takes a more in depth look at the remaining 23 delegates. There is a good chance that many will also vote Trump!

The low information voters figured out how to vote for the low information candidate against the smartest run ground game by the smartest trickster lawyer in the race.

How did that happen?

While I am loathe to give CNN any credit, I’ll have to agree that they’ve been the most accurate with delegate account.

“Are the 31 counted toward the 1237 total?”

$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

Here’s how I see it, much like most prognosticators at this point:

956 Committed to Trump
+ 40 IN
+ 1 NE
+ 34 WV
+ 12 OR
+ 17 WA
+100 CA
+ 51 NJ
+ 10 NM


1221 Subtotal before uncommitted
+ 30 PA (minimum) uncommitted

1251 > 1237

There are also another 50-60 uncommitted delegates from other states and territories.

With near and increasing certainty, Trump will be in on the first ballot.

The likely math is getting overwhelming.

No way. Cruz is so far back up the Bush rear end he’s probably looking for oceanfront property in Maine. There is no way he is going to let the Bush family down.

Tucker and Havley in the 2nd leaned toward voting for the winner so I took a chance and voted for them. I just saw a rather fetching Liz Havley say she was going to vote for the winner even though she leaned Kasich. I didn’t vote for Aaron Cohen because he sent out an expensive mailer with a picture of he and what I assume was his smoking hot wife and my envy didn’t want him to have everything. Besides, he smelled like a Crusty.

I voted in the 6th.

Wert showed pledged for Cruz in the research I did, so she’s probably a “no”

Costello pledged to go with the state-wide winner, so he’s a “yes”.

Cruz’s “ground game” was always more urban myth than reality. It was more about having a team of sharp lawyers and GOP insiders who understood every nook and cranny of the arcane and confusing rules governing state caucuses and then took full advantage of them to maximize their delegate haul.

The 991 count would mean Trump only needed 246 more to reach 1237.

It would also mean that he had collected 52.19% of the assigned delegates so far, and would only need to win 49% of the remaining delegates.

991 would represent 80.11% of the 1237 delegates.

Cruz with 568 delegates, has 45.12% of the 1237 delegates.

I believe Trump will wind up yesterday’s count close to 1000 delegates, just a few votes shy.

The guy is obviously right on track and building steam.

I think you’re right on target there.

District 18 now showing Thomas Uram who came out for Trump, instead of Sue Means, who came out for Cruz. Change from last evening’s report.

I’ve heard so many different delegate numbers for Trump. I even heard that he got a total of 130 delegates last night. I couldn’t tell you if that’s accurate or not because of the plethora of numbers floating around.

I think the big mo is so much in Trump’s favor right now, that some of the states that might have gone to Cruz are going to slip into Trump’s column now.

I look back and laugh at Cruz’s folks trying to talk up the silly notion of his momentum.

Maybe they didn’t read the memo clearly.

It was slowmentum.

They’re assumed at the convention, but not part of the count.

Although, if you add them to most of the “expert” delegate projections for Trump he is over 1237.

Trump won every County in PA, the first time I’ve ever seen that in a contested primary.

Yes, and to boot, there were in states where the voters got to vote, too.

I live in the PA 15th district. As of this afternoon Christian Leinbach was the top vote getter by 20 votes over second place finisher Uelinger. If they take top 3 , it’s Leinbach, Uelinger, and Reber. Kerwin would be out. Leinbach isn’t committed to Trump, if I remember correctly. This list should be double checked.

Trump served Cruz and Kasich a heaping helping of boot salad.
