For your info.
This is funny.
Go Trump!
what, 0 to Kasich?
It sounds like they did exactly what they were supposed to do, under the existing rules.
Another 1% closer to 1,237....
Wonder if Minnesota has a similar rule?
So the count goes from 28 against Trump to 14, plus he’s 14 closer. Not a bad day at the office.
Trump wins even when he ties lol
Is this new?
Why not Minnesota’s?
From the article:
“The Alaska Republican party has awarded 14 delegates each
to Ted Cruz and Donald Trump after Marco Rubio suspended
his campaign earlier this week.”
“Initially Cruz was awarded 12 delegates, Trump, 11 and Rubio, five.”
-
This takes a “win” away from Ted Cruz and makes Alaska a tie.

ANCHORAGE - Ted Cruz and Donald Trump will each have 14 delegates assigned to them, now that Sen. Marco Rubio has suspended his campaign.
According to Alaska Republican Party rules, (Article 5, Section 15, Paragraph 9) if a presidential candidate drops out before the state convention, the percentage of national delegates pledged to that candidate “shall be reapportioned among the Qualified Presidential Candidates.” The delegate count is recalculated according to a mathematical formula.
“For those who wondered why it was so important that we determine which district they were in before they voted in the Presidential Preference Poll, it’s for exactly this type of scenario, where we have to recalculate the 28 bound votes,” said Peter S. Goldberg, Party chairman. “Marco Rubio has suspended his campaign, but we have not yet chosen delegates. All we have done at this point is recalculate.”
“The vote was close and while Sen. Cruz had the total vote overall, when it was recalibrated, Cruz got 14.39 and Trump got 13.61, and, by our historically used method, we round to the nearest whole number,” Goldberg said.
Prior to that recalculation, Ted Cruz would have had 12 delegates, Donald Trump 11, and Marco Rubio 5.
OUTSTANDING for Trump and may now require an even better performance from Cruz to topple him.
Interesting.
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

I’m already tired of winning
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
