From what I just seen on another site: Trump has 1161 delegates right now; he needs 1237; so he is 76 delegates short and there are 420 delegates out there, so from what I seen he goes to the convention with: 1,581 total delegates....

Donald Trump, will have so many extra delegates, it will be winning over winning.

He needs those delegates to thwart off all attempts to rewrite the convention rules for 2016 and the proposed rules for 2020.

He will not allow non-winning candidates to run the RNC Convention and dominate / overwhelm the party platform.

All the remaining states need to participate with huge turnouts.

Trump is rallying in San Diego and Orange County next week. He will keep the momentum going. And this will reap benefits in November. Trump is not on Cruise control, he still running at 90 miles per hour.

I'm thinking Trump has 1600+ delegates on the first ballot as others candidates like Carson and Rubio might end up releasing their delegates to vote as they choose.

This wasn't mentioned often enough during the campaign but Ted Cruz was elected to the senate in 2012, took office in 2013, and virtually spent his entire time running for president since. The people of Texas were really done a disservice by Cruz, who used the senate seat as merely a stepping stone to something better.

Cruz would have been better served dedicating himself to the people of Texas and building a record of accomplishment in the senate. The kind of blind ambition we saw with Cruz the past few months was pretty alarming. The man decided to pursue the presidency at all costs and he did not seem to care how he got there. I would have to say that that kind of man is unfit for the presidency. BTW, we see that same kind of blind ambition with Crooked Hillary and she must be stopped or she will do the nation great harm.
