The frontrunner is now the candidate with the least delegates, who is poised to lose the next 4 or 5 primaries?
This goes beyond common core math problems.

Desperation from the Trump camp??? My arse!
NEW YORK — This Monday, assorted bankers, traders and Wall Street lawyers will gather inside the neo-Georgian walls of the Harvard Club in midtown Manhattan to write big checks to an unlikely recipient: Ted Cruz.
cruz just referred to trump as a Sicilian mobster.
