Internal campaign memo projects Trump will win 1,400+ delegates to secure nomination on first ballot in Cleveland.
The Washington Post reports:
Donald Trump's campaign advisers believe the billionaire mogul is emerging as the "prohibitive favorite" in the Republican presidential race and project that he will accumulate more than 1,400 delegates to secure the nomination on the first round of balloting at the party's Cleveland convention, according to an internal campaign memorandum.
The projections come in a memo distributed to Trump surrogates late Tuesday night containing talking points for use in media interviews this week. The memo, obtained by The Washington Post, describes Trump's commanding win in the New York primary as "YUGE" and encourages his supporters to speak out about what Trump has described as a "rigged" process of selecting delegates for the Republican National Convention in July.
The memo refers to the campaign's staff shakeup, with campaign manager Corey Lewandowski's power diminished and newly-hired adviser Paul Manafort assuming broad control over the campaign's strategy and its enhanced budget. It reads, "Building out our campaign staff to make sure we leave no stone unturned and that we can win this thing on the up and up — not through a rigged set of rules."

Oh, wait...
I thought scoring delegates was cheating?
In 1980 there were three candidates...two were very popular...GHW Bush and the other the affable Howard Baker of Tennessee...the third candidate was kind of an outsider...former Screen Actors guild President...former Democrat...former Governor of Calif...and hated by the GOP e the Convention manager that worked thru the rules and gave the nomination to Ronald Wilson Reagan was Paul Manfort...Trump hires the best when you need to get the job done...and it will be done...go TRUMP!
The contested convention meme makes good headlines. But the reality is the puppy is over! VOTE TRUMP!
“this puppy” is over
This is YUUUUUUUUUGGGGEEEEE!!!!!
:)
Trump is welcome to keep his 9x percentile of the NY delegates even though he only got 6x percentile of the votes in NY.
How can you tell if Cruz had fun? Does he look less dour when he is having fun?
Great news!
CONGRATULATIONS, DONALD!!
GO MAN GO!
UP UP and AWAY! WE are the SPIRIT of our future AMERICA!!
Making AMERICA GREAT, again.
What good does it do if Trump wins if he can’t beat Hillary?
Yes, I know a lot of NY women voted for Trump. But even more NY women will vote for Hillary in a general election, and women elsewhere.
lol
What if he does?
So how does he get to over 1,400?
If I had to bet I’d expect Trump to win the nomination. But you sound awfully gullible with “they must know something”. To me it sounds more like “Surrender Dorothy!” Politics ain’t beanbag, primaries are just part of the selection process (unknown fact to those who think this is or was ever intended in any shape or form to be a democracy), delegates are susceptible to “inducement”, and the Fat Lady hasn’t even started to clear her throat.
