Republican National Committee member Randy Evans said Wednesday that Donald Trump would likely be able to secure the Republican nomination if he captures anything more than 1,100 delegates, short of the 1,237 delegates needed for a simple majority.
"If Donald Trump exceeds 1,100 votes, he will become the nominee even though he may not have 1,237," Evans said on MSNBC's "Morning Joe."
Evans' comment is good news for Trump if it's a sentiment shared by other RNC members, since Trump is at risk of falling short of a majority of delegates by the time of the convention in July. But Evans also warned that if Trump slips much more, the nomination would likely fall to someone else.

Having enough to unquestionably WIN on the first ballot is the only way to stop the GOPe shenanigans.
interactive delegate counter right under candidates
Who is this person and what is this all about?
“Trump can win with 1,100 delegates”
Obviously.
Cruz is wasting everyone’s time.
He should drop out now and get a real job.
The unbound delegates are NOT part of the delegate counting that preoccupies the press.
Cruz is making Trump a better candidate. Proof: Trump hired Manafort to improve gathering of delegates.
"...Who is this person and what is this all about?..."
The Fix Is IN!!
Not Fair!
GOPe Establishment supports Establishment RINO Trump!
The System Is Rigged!
(Did I miss anything?)
Member of RNC rules committee.
LOL!!!!
“if it’s a sentiment shared by other RNC members”
HAHAHAHAHA!
This guy maybe RNC member but he has no say so as to allowing Trump to "win" without winning 1,237!
Makes as much sense as stopping car or horse races during last lap without crossing the finish line - or how about shutting down base ball games at the bottom of the 8th inning or football game early in the 4th quarter!
I think not!
Don’t believe it Trump.
Go for the 1237.
My fantasy Trump rally takes place in Yankee Stadium. Reggie Jackson, and Pete Rose make endorsement speeches for Trump before 60,000 Trumpsters in attendance.
You let out Bush’s fault.
You trust the RNC? I don’t.
Cruz will be sitting at around 800 delegates in a best scenario for him. More likely, he'll be closer to 650 as he's going to get shut out in a lot of the upcoming states.
It's a Cruzer pipe dream that he comes in a distant second and still manages to block Trump from the nomination. Window for Cruz has closed and it will get nailed shut after NY next week.
“Trump hired Manafort to improve gathering of delegates.”
This stuff is useless in the general election. It’s just a waste of time.
Cruz can’t beat Trump in the delegate count. He should just get out.
This is just a bad precedent. I bet Jeb is wishing he had never gotten out. In the next primary, nobody will drop out, ever.
Smart Ass. Who is Randy Evans and why the magic number 1100? Or don’t you know either?
