It was LoL.

Cruz got schlonged again.

LOL! Seems to be happening more frequently these days.

[PJBankard]

I meant a rule 40(b) win.

[RusynMama]

Yep, exactly. Could be another 19 waiting there.

As of this post ...

Trump has 696 delegates
needs 1237 - 696 = 541
541 is 59.7% of remaining 906 available pledged delegates

Cruz has 425 delegates (424 pledged + 1 unpledged)
needs 1237 - 425 = 812
812 is 89.6% of remaining 906 available pledged delegates

Kasich has 144 delegates
needs 1237 - 144 = 1093
1093 is 120.6% of remaining 906 available pledged delegates

"This takes a “win” away from Ted Cruz and makes Alaska a tie."

Man, that is cold. I like it.

541 is very doable ~ 598 delegates alone will be awarded via ‘winner take all’ states alone. And another 300+ in hybrid/ proportional states

[rwoodward]

I’m already tired of winning

[nikos1121]

I think so

[magua]

Cute

[wiseprince]

Hilarious! I hope this is the rule in Minnesota & Virginia and I hope that Trump makes it across the line just based on those who dropped out first. That would be icing on the cake

The updating on this site is a little slow, but they eventually get it accurate.

[hoosiermama]

He will win Arizona NY NJ and Indiana (59) also PA and other new-England states. It when not if at this point, but when

[Red Steel]

I saw this early today, but I didn’t know which state the extra 5 delegates came on Green Papers to equal 696 for Trump. ;-)

[Future Useless Eater]

the [Alaska Republican] party said that under its rules, if a presidential candidate drops out before the state convention, the percentage of national delegates pledged to that candidate is to be reapportioned.

Well, THAT was quite a surprise for me...

Does anyone know if any OTHER states have this rule?

And how about Puerto Rico? or MN or DC? (where Rubio had significant numbers)

and is there any difference between "dropping out" vs "suspending"?

[kiryandil]

LOL! Palin delivers a tie in Alaska!

[SunkenCiv]

That assures that the votes cast amount to something.

[EEGator]

Kasich has a clear path to the nomination...

[magua]

Kasich must be getting tired of winning.
