RealClearPolitics lists Guam as "Unbound".

I'm not sure but I think that means that regardless of the vote, their delegates aren't bound to any particular candidate. And thus they probably don't count as a qualifying state for rule 40 purposes.

Here's the current status as I understand it.

Rule 40 - Qualifying States=>50% of delegates won - Need 8
Trump AL,GA,HI,MA,MS,SC,TN
Cruz ID,KS,TX,ME,WY
Rubio PR,DC
Kasich

Non-Qualifying By winner
TRUMP NH,NV,AR,VA,KY,MI
CRUZ IA,AK,OK,VI
RUBIO MN
VT SPLIT 50/50 Trump/Kasich
LA SPLIT TRUMP/CRUZ
CO,GU unbound

WY is not yet a qualifying state, Cruz won 9 of the 11 awarded so far, but 14 more delegates get awarded later.

As I understand it: Guam delegates can run as bound OR unbound. The “Cruz” delegates are Cruz delegates because they are running as bound, and so they do actually qualify. The Virgin Islands’ winning slate ran as unbound, so don’t qualify towards Rule 40. In any extent, I think it’s safe to say that Cruz and Trump, and barring some weird shift in the basic dynamics of the race, ONLY Cruz and Trump will qualify for Rule 40; ob

You’re post was a list of states won by each candidate.

Cruz did not get Virgin Islands unless the person who got it was working for him.

Please Please give me a brokered Convention.

It will be the GREATEST SHOW ON EARTH. Like 4 Super Bowls in a row. Commercials will be running 3x the Super Bowl price. Everybody will make money and Trump will get 24/7 publicity for free.

AND then he will win the WH.

But alas, the people will give Trump the winner take all states and that will be that.
