So now Cruz has to say "I'm the only one whose beaten Donald Trump not 2, not 3, not 4, not 5, not 6, not 7, not 8, but 9 times ... wait ... "
... lemme start again ...
I'm the only one whose beaten Donald Trump not 2, not 3, not 4, not 5, not 6, not 7, but 8 times!"
This wininng and winning is making my head hurt. Go Trump!!!
I can count 7 States where Cruz “won” and 18 where trump “won”.
Do you need a list?
Or are you referring to rule 40(b) “wins”?
(Trump = 11; Cruz = 4)
I saw the numbers change and assumed they came from Missouri. I assume the rest of Marco’s delegates are free to choose at the convention.
My horse has wings.
Yeah... ;) He's the establishment's placeholder in case Romney's Cruz "endorsement" leads to their hoped for "open" convention.
The total allocation of Missouri delegates gave Trump 693, and with 3 from Alaska that I didn’t know where they (3) came from at the time went to 696.
As I was explaining here...

120.6%?
Kasich can do it!!! With the help of the GOP Establishment!
Go Kasich/Jeb 2016!!!
Indeed. March 15th Trump won 229 of 367 which is 62%, and that's without Ohio.
wikipedia “GOP primary 2016”
It does not even need to be said that Trump needs the slimmest of leads in the ‘winner take all’ states most of which are polling against Cruz at this time.
But he also needs just a slim lead in many of the ‘hybrid’ and ‘proportional’ states to get 59% or more of their delegates. Missouri is a good example; Trump won by .2% of the popular vote but it looks like the he will be getting 37 delegates to Cruz's 15 or 73% of the delegates. In New York if Trump gets more than 50% of the votes he will get all the of delegates. It seems very likely that Trump will have the number of the delegates he needs before the convention.
Cruz on the other hand has to get nearly 90% of the remaining delegates... which is a near impossibility. As the reality of the situation sets in we will see Trump pick up more supporters. Cruz is counting on Rubio supporters coming to him, but it seems more likely that they will be at best evenly divided among the remaining candidates.
I suspect some folks are already getting tired of it.
Yuge!
Nice!
On New York—Trump is polling not only over fifty percent, but with a fifty percent _lead_ over Cruz.
He will school Cruz on what home court advantage really means.
Yeah he can do it! All he has to do is find a box of uncounted delegates! Go Confetti Man!
lol
Yes, fivethirtyeight has an interesting tally. Scroll down to the individual break out by candidate and with a mouse-over you will see dates, targets and totals.
Last I looked, DJT was at 691. I do not know if that includes the Alaska re-assignments from Rubio’s slate.
