On the surface, things are looking pretty good for Donald Trumps efforts to capture the Republican nomination.
Hes received more votes, and has more pledged delegates, than any other candidate. After Missouri certified its race on Tuesday, Trumps delegate lead was 755 to 545 over Sen. Ted Cruz, with 1,237 needed to win the nomination.
Trump is about to overwhelmingly capture his home state of New York, and is poised to do nearly as well in Pennsylvania. And Trump has the full backing of some crucial parts of conservative media, notably The Drudge Report.
And yet theres an increasing desperation in the air from the Trump camp. Trump was on the OReilly Factor on Monday night with nary an insult for anyone, apart from the nations of China and Mexico.
I think I am a softer and kinder person, Trump said last night....

In order to be the front-runner, don’t you actually have to have more votes/delegates than anybody else?

There are 858 still available delegates
Trump needs 482 delegates or roughly 56%
Cruz needs 692 delegates were 80% of the delegates remaining

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.
that wont go over very well with a lot of folks whose last name ends with a vowel.
