Looks like Trump wins by 1636 votes. Less than 0.2%.
If these numbers are final.
Delegate count could range from 52-0 to 17-35 Trump-Cruz depending on congressional district outcomes.
Kasich 10%, Rubio 6%.
Kasich may really believe he is the anointed one. Buckeyes even probably think that too.
Don’t think MO is winner take all
This was a devastating defeat for cruz. He will never get the nomination away from Trump.
Yesterday morning between 6 and 7 on WTVT out of Tampa, there were a dozen TV ads denouncing Donald Trump and one denouncing Trump an supporting Rubio.
Then a 30 minute "interview" of Rubio during the 7 o'clock hour of the morning news. WTVT is Fox.
I have a Canadian daughter???
I agree. Cruz made an enormous mistake. That might have cost him NC also. Contrary to expectations, Cruz has been unable win in the South except for Texas.
Talking of Soros, that guy has donated at least $200,000 to Kasich.
Yes!!
Close only counts in horseshoes and hand grenades....
Apparently the reason they haven’t called Missouri yet is there are some outstanding absentee ballots but I fail to see how a 1726-vote lead would be erased by that.
By not winning a single state, Cruz had a catastrophic night, with Trump winning by huge margins in Florida and Illinois, a decent win in North Carolina and apparently a squeaker in Missouri. The problem for Cruz is that, with the exception of North Carolina, the delegates are awarded in such a way as to greatly benefit Trump. In IL, Trump got 52 out of 69 delegates, even though he only won the popular vote by 8.5 points (although that is a big margin). And he’s poised to get the lion’s share of MO, too. So Cruz’s delegate math got a whole lot harder.
Overtly dramatic phrases like catastrophic are silly.
Cruz wasn’t expected to win any yesterday.
It is ironic in that he did better in MO than would have been expected, vote wise, but because of how it broke down in the districts, he is getting 5 or 10 less than was expected.
NC was about what was expected.
If Cruz didn’t expect to win anything yesterday,
How can he expect to gain delegates from here on out...my god, that was OHIO and Florida...big states...
Does he expect to win Pennsylvania, New York, MD, NJ ? what does he really expect? Next Tues..AZ. Utah...does he expect to carry those states?
Please tell him to find a new stump speech other than ..I beat him not one time, not two times, not three times but nine times...from Maine to Alaska!! lots of ground between those two States and Donald Trump is winning those states...
glad Donald dropped out of the Monday debate...a Fox trashing and he and his people knew it...
AND THE DEBATE IS CANCELED...WAY TO GO DONALD, YOU DESERVE BETTER THAN WHAT FOX OFFERS..
just wondering.
I thought Soros was the Democrat money man.
Maybe it is 100% of ballots cast at polls, but only 99% of total cast, not including absentee.
That will probably give Trump a bigger lead and could potentially flip district 4 back to Trump
So, we still won’t have final totals until Friday if there are any new military/provisional ballots that come in.
Hope your surgery was uneventful.
Do you have any basis other than “gut” to think that the military are more likely to vote Trump? For example I was surprised a couple of years ago to learn that a lot of soldiers like Rand Paul, who wants to avoid wars, as I understand it.
My thought also. Little Marco was the Flavor-of-the-Week, now it seems to be Kasich. Cruz didn’t do anything Tuesday night.
Yeah. Military Times survey for one. Clear favorites were Trump and Sanders
