Ah snap!
So, Ted right now is at 461 delgates. He needs another 775 to get to the 1,237 number.
But there are only 763 delegates left to win.
So now the Cruz supporters have to decide it they are going to play nice or try to force a brokered convention on everyone else.
This will be very interesting.
1,237 gets Trump the nomination, but 1,236 doesn’t mean sh-t.
If Trump doesn’t get 1,237 on the first ballot, the rules call for a second ballot. The GOP may try to prevent the second ballot from going to Cruz, or they may not. Perhaps Trump will agree to be Cruz’s Vice President and their combined effort will carry the day.
I am sure both campaigns have plans that include following the rules.
Cruz said yesterday that Kasich was mathematically eliminated and as such should drop out - will Ted take his own advice?
This guys numbers are erroneous. Whether intentional or not, there are actually still 944 delegates remaining in the upcoming states. So, more than enough to drag the race out into June. Cruz and Trump are both still in this thing.
