Donald Trump has reached the number of delegates needed to clinch the GOP presidential nomination, securing his status as the presumptive Republican nominee and avoiding a contested convention, according to a delegate count released Thursday by the Associated Press.
The AP reports that Trump was has reached 1,238 delegates, put over the 1,237 needed to win the nomination by a small number of the party’s unbound delegates who said they would support him at the convention. Trump will most likely add more delegates to his total before...

Trump garners unbound delegates!
At the very least, neither of them had what it takes to win.
They certainly did not have the fire in the belly.
I also noticed something about Romney-he never really fought back when the Dems brought up his time with Bain Capital.
He knew full well that would be an issue-Kennedy brought up Bain when Romney ran against him.
And of course we all know that Romney’s people with the help of some of McCain’s people viciously attacked Sarah Palin.
Pure schadenfreude. Sweet, SWEET schadenfreude!

Right after Wisconsin, Manafort was on CNN.. snd calmly stated that Trump would have it wrapped up by Mid May, and that he’d end up with about 1400 delegates. The female host was stunned.this was when they all thought there would be a contested convention...Manafort is a impressive guy.
PING!!

Thanks, WildHighlander57
A job well done, patriots! Pop the corks tonight!!!

McCain’s team undercut his OWN VP candidate on purpose and repeatedly.
What better proof of betrayal than that?
I have the same feeling. I guess some here forget the rule: Evil Never Sleeps!
They despised Donald to the hilt and they will scheme their way to deny him the nomination. I pray I am wrong but I believe you and I are right. It is at the Convention that I fear the most.
“A job well done, patriots! Pop the corks tonight!!!”
Hmm, yes. If I get my car out of the shop today, I shall get a drive by daiquiri tonight. A rare treat!
I can't wait!
I though the one on the right was Edwards
Beck is going to be having seizures in his Cheetos!
Not until Trump wins the presidential election in November. Only then will I crack open a bottle or two of the bubbly.
Until your ping, I had no idea. Wow; this was unexpected. Great, wonderful and fantastic news...but unexpected. I thought New Jersey would seal the deal. It seems Manafort, among others, had bigger plans.
Thanks for the heads up. Go Trump!
Exactly! They can talk all about “unity” but I feel it is a ploy. These bastards have something up their sleeves and people forget these are EVIL people. They will do “ANYTHING” to keep him away from the White House.
Hewitt assured us Romney would win.
hugh is probably looking series about now...
Beck is nuts from a while back.
All of his “big thinkers” bs summit are pure RINOs. The effete elite class that would never have liked Reagan.
