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.

Good explanation. Lets hope there will be others at the convention unbound that will get on the train as it moves through.
Yes, he is. Trump cannot be expected to win a general election with the “I accomplished this, but you’re an idiot who accomplished nothing” strategy. Democrats are counting on a GOP civil war for Hillary to have a cakewalk.
Absolutely right that GOPe insiders controlling the out come is bad.
All of the folderol leading up to the convention the delegates will force the delegates to go with the Trump if he is really close to 1237 (within 100?? is that close?) otherwise risk losing the election and destroying the party.
Even people playing checkers can see when they about ready to lose in two turns
In a week or two the Cruz people will go through the same lull Trump has for these two weeks but he doesn't have enough ump-hf to last.
It is becoming obvious that Cruz won't win the general this will hopefully set into the zeitgeist
Problems remain unsolved until addressed honestly. Remember Donald Trump has done more to kill Political Correctness and foster an honest dialogue about the real issues facing normal Americans than probably anyone in the last 40 years
What’s going on is the GOP is taking a beating over the Cruz’s delegate machinations and Colorado’s disenfranchisement of GOP voters.
It looks like Trump is getting a big rebound off these party machinations and the GOP has already pushed too far trying to thwart Trump.
They’re probably getting creamed in focus groups despite the media’s complicity in pushing the meme “It’s all by the rules”.
I suspect that the delegates are starting to worry about their attorney costs if they try to steal the nomination from Trump.
Drudge Red Letter Headline:
"RNC BOMBSHELL: (Trump) CAN WIN IT ALL WITH 1,100"
Just posted this because nobody else had and it was interesting. But to answer your question, no.
The GOPe DOESN'T CARE!!!!
They quite literally would rather serve in Hell than rule in Heaven.
Nearly all the perqs and none of the responsibility and blame.
Ben Carson’s 9 and Huck’s 1 delegate will go to Trump on second ballot. But there won;’t be a second ballot.
Maybe Cruz needs to bend the knee and bow before His Majesty. My prediction is that if Trump doesn’t get beyond 1,100 he will never be nominated. Cruz will pluck him like a chicken in the second ballot! President Cruz! Has a nice ring to it!
THe way things are, do not doubt or resist.
This race was over after FL and OH primary. Was true then and now.
GoPe not suicidal.
Using Ted the Tool and his Band of Merry Fools to pressure Trump, so they can eventually attached some strings.
Trump a third party candidate running in R primary.
GoPe knows this and if they boot him, R party no longer viable.
Hillary is not having a cake walk in her own primary. Those super delegates can switch to Bernie easily like 2008.
. Democrats are counting on a GOP civil war for Hillary to have a cakewalk.
************************************************************
And many republicans have been putting their hopes on Hillary being indicted and making it a cake walk for the republican nominee. Obama squelched that by pronouncing her innocent.
ping
Think about who he will be running against ... whether he says it in those words exactly or not ... it will be true lol.
Her own supporters cant figure out what she has ever accomplished.
Trump has also focused on issues in his speeches which keep growing stronger and largely stepped away from trivial exchanges on social media
I hear his family was with him on CNN last night and their love and strength and poise drove the pundits to silence
Donald is learning what is required of a political vs a business leader
I do believe he will learn to use the good but continue to campaign against the bad and the ugly parts of that

That’s interesting; wonder what grounds would there be for the lawsuit ?
Vote TRUMP! (And get ‘er done — before— the convention)
This! Don’t slow down
Go for 1500
It has to be big or they will cheat .... Errr, “ change the rules”
He better hurry. Rubio just announced support for the Cruzer...
