“...Trump’s greater and greater percentages, anyways?...”

The point being, trump has so far failed to convince over half the electorate in every primary so far. If his support is as widespread as you seem to claim, surely he would have well over half the electorate willing to vote for him, yes? But he doesn’t. All I’m saying is that if he gets to the convention with less than half, he has earned exactly jack-squat. All he is due is a *righteously* contested convention. And all those “pledged” delegates start becoming “unpledged” and free to vote their preference. If you want trump, you’re going to have to earn it and he’s got a long way to go yet with Cruz and Kasich lined up as spoilers.

The point being, uncheck Alaska as a "win" for crLuzer.
