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.
Thank you for your well written opinion. This needs close analyses. I can’t believe this has not been covered by the press.
Why would I change? If I'm a representative for voters, would I not need some assent from them as to whether I change my vote?
Otherwise, the game is rigged, but we knew that already.
I like the idea of Cruz as Solicitor General. Why?
Christie was likely already promised the AG position.
Cruz is a superb litigator, and he’ll whack the balls that Christie pitches to him (like a Clinton espionage case) right out of the park.
Cruz can also be given the task of picking nominees for ALL judicial positions. He recommends 2 or 3 for each position, POTUS Trump picks one. Before very long (2-3 years), Cruz goes to the USSC. Maybe Roberts even gets pushed out, and Cruz becomes the CJ.
Cruz should withdraw from the race, and endorse Trump. If Cruz is sincere about beating the oligarchy, he needs to do this.
Ferris Bueller would get more votes than them.
They all love him. Motor heads, dweebs, jocks.....
“Besides, they’d probably be glad to be rid of him in the Senate :-) “
Are you kidding, Grahamnesty would lead the fight for him!
Cruz has already sold out to the GOPe.
I’m not talking 1237. I’m talking more delegates than trump but both less than 1237.
You are logically correct but he has destroyed any bridge to Trump. Trump is not a politician. He has great acumen when it comes to those who would stab him in the back ( Like Beck is being investigated for?) . I think MeGYN Kelly would come closer to being Trump’s VP but maybe I’m Wrong. What does his announcement say if he takes Cruz as VP “ I am happy to announce my new VP— Lyin Ted”!! ( wild applause)
That’s not accurate.
“The carnival barker is Trump. It’s obvious why he will avoid a debate with Cruz. He can’t win.”
Trump’s response was, “Yeah, well you get less than 20% every time, which means that more than 80% of Republicans don’t want you.” That shut the booger-eater up for a couple of minutes.
never heard of this. probably some kooky lie Trump cooked up.
Thank you so much!! I will pass that on!!!
Google it. It is absolute truth. It is important to know.
Everyone chested and it was so wonderful and we got Lincoln. Isn’t that special? And I’d was so happily ever after.
He’s delusional.
Oops, cheered.
“WE” - Cruz Haters
Some of us have disagreed on how best to beat back liberalism or on one another's candidate choice for a long time, yet remained friendly if not friends.
You, however, can take your conspiracy theories to an Oliver Stoned blog post. I'm certain you'd be welcomed there with opened arms!
