Who has the overwhelming majority of the actual votes? Stop playing word games.

What word games? Trump has 40% of the actual votes, not a majority. Cruz has 30% of the actual votes - again, not a majority. Everyone else put together roughly ties Cruz - definitely not a majority for any of them.

Trump won Alabama with 43% of the vote, won Arizona with 47%, won Arkansas with 33%, won Florida with 46%, won Georgia with 39%, won Hawaii with 42%, won Illinois with 39%, Won Kentucky with 36%, won Louisiana with 41%, won Massachusetts with 49%, won Michigan with 36%, won Mississippi with 47%, won Missouri with 41%, won Nevada with 46%, won New Hampshire with 35%, won North Carolina with 40%, won South Carolina with 32%, won Tennessee with 39%, won Vermont with 33%, and won Virginia with 35%. If Trump wins an absolute majority in New York, it will be the first state he wins with a majority.

Trump placed second in Alaska with 33%, second in Idaho with 28%, second in Iowa with 24%, second in Kansas with 23%, second in Maine with 33%, second in Ohio with 36%, second in Oklahoma with 28%, second in Texas with 27%, and second in Wisconsin with 35%. That is a much shorter list than his wins.

Trump placed third in DC with 13%, third in Minnesota with 21%, third in Utah with 14%, and third in Wyoming with 7%. It's not often that both Cruz and Kasich beat him.

I try very hard to avoid games or anything that can be interpreted as a game. My goal is to (1) stick to clear facts, and (2) smooth over the friction between supporters of the two outsider candidates this year. I don't mind if someone calls Jeb/Rubio/Kasich a pro-Amnesty traitor, because it's true and all three have consistently taken that position. It's the divisive personal attacks and the lack of evidence in the attacks on Trump and on Cruz that bother me.

In 2 weeks Cruz knows he is going to be mathematically eliminated.

Just like Kasich is now.

I don't need a list of the results of the primaries, we know who can still win the majority of delegates and who can't.

Cruz knows he cannot (as does Kasich) and both are just planning to stop Trump from getting the number 1237 and then try to win at the convention.

Both Cruz and Kasich should acknowledge that they have lost and Trump has won the nomination instead of trying clever insider tactics that will be rejected by the Trump voters, no matter how much the Cruz people try to defend them with clever word games.
