Here is "the" math "if": 1. Trump takes 53%,60% or 65% of remaining delegates from 21 states from 3/22 - 6/7; broken down by 11 Winner Take all States, with 597 delegates at stake. And: 2. 10 Proportionately Awarded states with 312 delegates.
Trump: 597 Winner Take All 312 Proportional Award
@53 @53% ---- ---- 316 Total Delegates 165 Total Delegates
316 Winner Take All 165 Proportional Award ---- 481 Total Delegates +673 Delegates Won Tru 3/15 OR: ---- 1,154 At 53% Remaining Delegates Total Delegates 597 +312 --- 909 Del. Left Winner Take All and Propor. @ 60% ---- 545 Total All Delegates +673 Won tru 3/15 ---- 1,218 Total Delegates at 60% OR: 909 Del. Left WTA/PA @65% ---- 590 Delegates left +673 Delegates won ---- 1,264 Total delegates @ 65%
I make no further judgments or prognostications except to say;an alliance of political enemies before the GOP convention would be really good insurance, no matter who you support. Even the best scenario will be close.
I have no agenda and will vote for either Trump or Cruz, and, like you, I have a preference; but this time everything is on the line. Please, for God's sake vote for one of them in the general election.
And Mark Levin is a high decibel carnival barker in the style of PT Barnum trying to hock his useless wares and trinkets. He belongs in the men’s department of Belleville Mental Institution along with Glen Beck getting fitted for a straight jacket.
And yet, here you are, supporting Donald Trump.
But would the senate approve it?
Thanks for that. Useful table.
You should go back in town and buy gas. The stuff on the highway can cost over a $1.00 more per gallon. It is spring so Death Valley isn’t that bad yet.
Kasich and Rubio take it!!!
Kasich/Rubio 2016!!!
Amazing isn’t it.:)
You’re welcome.
yep
This is all the Cruz folks can hope for now...
And yet...
Of course they would. He is the BEST constitutional conservative to select and bring the country together. They would have to have a reason to deny him and there isn't one other than their personal dislike of him. Besides, they'd probably be glad to be rid of him in the Senate :-)
;)
A pro-Christian movement might not be such a bad thing at this point.
Most of the negatives posted anywhere are posted by anti-Christian writers.
Apparently Cruz' Father preaches that theology.
Good point on them getting him out of the senate so they can go back to the good ol’ boy system.
One scenario that people really aren’t talking about is that Cruz has a viable path to get more delegates than Trump. If that happens that puts him at the top spot.
The Senate might confirm him just to get him out of their hair.
I give Levin credit for telling the full story of Lincolns win at the convention. It involved some underhanded and dirty tricks by Lincolns proponents.
I tuned out at the break, because it seemed he was trying to say that dirty tricks were OK because it gave us Lincoln. Who can say the other guy would not have been better?
The carnival barker is Trump. It’s obvious why he will avoid a debate with Cruz. He can’t win.
Trump supporters don’t have much faith in Trump and his advisors considering the time they spend confidently describing how the GOP-E is going to steal Donald’s obviously deserved prize.
