“Hewitt said he went state-by-state and gave Trump very generous amounts of delegates in his projection, including 51 of 59 of Indiana’s slate. Trump needs 392 delegates to clinch the nomination. Hewitt said Trump probably wouldn’t get any delegates in Nebraska, South Dakota, or Montana, which means in 14 out of the 15 contests left, the billionaire would only get 273–and it’s doubtful he will do well in California, in which he would need to win 119 of the 172 delegates in that contest”
The fat lady is getting tired of singing and will soon boot Ted herself.
I want to say is us Ted but it’s really you. We are just not that into you. Go home.
That’s not my back of the envelope math.
Trump is at 950 (almost 1,000 if you include the PA unpledged).
NJ is a lock (51 delegates)
WV should be a lock, but the delegate election is confusing (so let’s say 30 of 36).
Trump should get minimum 40 delegates from WA, OR, NM, which are proportional).
That’s about 120 delegates, so now put Trump at 1,070 (1,120 including PA unpledged, etc). He now needs somewhere betwen 120 and 170 to secure the nomination.
Add IN at 51 of 57 and the margin is down to 70/120 for California.... Very, very doable.
And that assumes 0 from NE, MT and SD.
Cruz at 20%: Ted can take credit for the “2” (representing a distant second) and Carly can take credit for the “0” (representing the impact of adding her to the Cruz ticket).
So I guess Carly - the destoyer of jobs wasn’t a good pic.
OMG - it’s O-VAR... We won...
If those numbers are accurate it’s going to be an historic shellacking, or shall we say schlonging?
When Trump walked across that freeway last week to get into the building in California, all I could think of was, there’s our next president.
Picking Carly as his Hail California Mary pass was a big mistake. About all she’s known there for are a massive layoff of American workers and bringing in more and more foreigners Plus losing an election against a rather disliked D that was considered “vulnerable” to an R win
This is going to get ugly for Cruz!

That should be worth something.
No problemo for Lyin’ Ted as he will name his cabinet after Indiana.
Now THAT will guarantee him a path to 1237!
Oh my. Trump is crushing the snake handler in CA.
Amazing how he lost the South.
Hewitt is unlistenable, as is Medved, Levin, and even Rush.
Hugh’s a neocon who can’t stand the thought that business as usual is coming to an end.
Trump already has over 1,000 delegates so what reality is Hewitt dealing with?
The Golden State reacts to Carly as VP.
Ted Cruz had better suspend after tomorrow or he will always be remembered for being a LOSER who was all about himself and not beating Hillary.
