Kasich function was to take Ohio so no insurgent could get 8 states. Rubio was to get FL, Christie NJ, Cruz, TX, and so forth. Each player could get a few states, but none could get 8. Trump blew up the entire plan. Heck, Trump would have blown up pretty much ANY plan!

No candidate has a MAJORITY of delegates in those states.

He was short (by 1 in each, IIRC) in NH and NV of getting the Majority of the delegates. Very close, though.

In addition Rule #40 changed in 2014 from previously five needed state wins, to a newer threshold of eight (8):
Officially, it’s Rule 40 in the RNC handbook and it states that any candidate for president “shall demonstrate the support of a majority of the delegates from each of eight (8) or more states” before their name is presented for nomination at the national convention. (article March 2014)
A dirty trick by GOP establishment to have control of who the GOP candidate will be. Screw “we the people”.

Trump is exposing the power brokers. He knows these people. He knows where all the bodies are buried and he has a big mouth! Boom!

A Great Analogy of this election cycle:
Trump's impact on this election cycle is equivalent to the force generated from the 1958 Lituya Bay, Alaska Tsunami. The force of the wave removed all trees and vegetation from elevations as high as 1720 feet above sea level.

So far, Trump has:
IA 7 of 30 delegates
NH 11 of 23 delegates
*SC 50 of 50 delegates
NV 14 of 30 delegates.
==
*That gives Trump 1 of the 8 needed for the convention.
None of the others even come close to that.

Interesting, Trump is being rather benign with Cruz.
Is it because he doesn’t see him as a threat, or Cruz is back in the running for VP?
To: TomGuy
He will have more after Tuesday!

The pattern I see is that Trump focuses on either the candidate closest to him in popularity, or the candidate who is getting the most press in mounting criticism of Trump. It’s Rubio’s turn in the barrel. I don;t think Trump and Cruz will ever get along except at arm’s length.

He wants Cruz to do better than establishment Rubio. Cruz is part of the anti esstablishment group taking out the Rino

Are the delegates won by Cruz/Rubio/Carson/Kasich/Bush allowed to change if their candidate drops out?

Maybe waiting for Tuesday.
CRuzio is in his kennel, whimpering, begging Romney to give him another bone...or a life line.
