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...

What’s the over/under on Ted reclaiming his Canadian citizenship?

Can we get Mitt Romney, Carl Rove and Erick Erickson to move north too?

I think a lot of the body politic has gotten tired of being assailed by Ted. He was convinced that it was impossible that he should go at all into that good night, let alone gently.

But as a Christian myself (though rather oddball by many mainstream lights) I could have told Ted that he had bitten off more than he could spiritually chew. If you are projecting the “plaster saint” image — you’re doing it wrong. We’re all sinners in constant need of the grace of God. So own it.

I urge caution here.

CNN, always the highest, still has him at 1229 delegates at this time.

I suspect this has more to do with FoxNews and a few other outlets wanting to be first to announce this.

I’m not buying in at this point.

unbound delegates jump on the Trump train.

Whoohoo way to go Donald Trump and way to go FreeRepublic the locus of control of pro American Conservative talk has shifted to places like here and populated by users like us.

Hewitt is yet another infiltrator book selling scam artist mortgage/window/soap hawking laywer from Harvard (Shapiro, Medved) Screw them as they are now has been distractions.

Lets take it to the left now and cream them in November

Actually it’s Faux News reading an AP story

Guess folks are finally starting to count the unbound delegates.

Looks like Managorts estimate of 1400 may be very close

Trump better not screw it up like Romney and McCain.

Romney's still working on it. Give him time.

So who’s going to put up a montage on YouTube of all the pundits and political morons who said he’d never get the nomination, or at least, the 1237 delegates.
