“Really nice to be winning delegates with the VOTES!!”
***********************************************************
So true! Here is the road to Trump’s nomination after New York. If Trump gets all 95 of New York’s delegates, Cruz will have to win 92.7% of the remaining (subtracting New York’s 95 delegates) 731 delegates.
My math: Delegates remaining before New York = 826. 826 - 95 = 731. With 756 delegates, and, if Trump wins New York: 95 + 756 = 851 Total. 1237 - 851 = 386 delegates needed to get the nomination: After New York Trump will need 386 delegates: 386/731 = 52.8% of the remaining delegates.
Cruz will still have 559 delegates: 1237 - 559 = 678, the delegates he needs needs for the nomination: 678/731 = 92.7% of the remaining delegates.
Is 92.7% a mathematically impossible percentage of the remaining 678 delegates that Teddy needs to get the nomination? Any rational person says 92.7% is impossible.
WE DON’T WANT RAFAEL TEDDY CRUZ!
When the Cruz supporters calm down, wake up, put on some pants and the Red Hat, they will see der Hildebeast and turn their fury on the Witch. They will want to work like they did for Cruz to elect Donald J. Trump as our next President of the United States.
