Oh ... I agree. I think King Trumpy needs to go back to being a casino operator.

I'm just saying.... even if Trumpy somehow wins 1,237 delegates between now and the convention.... he still won't get the nomination. Some of his delegates will jump ship and vote for someone else, or whatever. It would not be the first time delegates or even Electoral College Electors didn't vote the way the were suppose to. It's happened numerous times.

They are not going to give the nomination to King Trumpy, the democrat republican hater. And the weeping, wailing, and gnashing of teeth will be monumental here.

On the first round bound delegates have to vote for the person they are bound to and can not jump ship. So if Trump gets 1237 bound delegates he will win, even if Priebus dearly wishes otherwise.

But people with more authority to talk of the process than I have, seem to think 1200 or even as few as 1100 would be enough for Trump to make up the difference on the first vote by finding unbound delegates to support him.

I am not sure which estimate is more realistic of the 1100 or 1200, but they all seem to agree that 1200 would be enough, and that 37 unbound would be easy to swing.
