IT’S OFFICIAL=> Ted Cruz Is Mathematically ELIMINATED from GOP Race – With Chart
The Gateway Pundit ^ | April 26th, 2016 | Guest post by Joe Hoft

Posted on 04/26/2016 8:52:25 PM PDT by Mariner

As we predicted on April 2nd….

As of today, April 26, 2016, Ted Cruz is mathematically eliminated from winning the Republican nomination outright.

On April 2nd we predicted that Donald Trump would have 953 delegates as of today (needing only 284 delegates for the nomination) and that Cruz would have 550 delegates as of today (needing 687 to win the nomination).

We also predicted that only 634 delegates would remain and therefore Cruz would need more delegates than would be available.

Ted Cruz is eliminated.

It is clear that Cruz was eliminated tonight.

After winning all five primaries tonight — Connecticut, Rhode Island, Delaware, Maryland and Pennsylvania — Donald Trump has 949 delegates so far.

Ted Cruz finished third in Connecticut, Maryland, Delaware and Rhode Island.

I'm sorry, in only a fantasy did I think we'd be talking about Ted having more than 500 delegates come this point in the campaign, I think he's done far better than any prediction from last August. Serious congratulations for the fight, and I'm sorry that his message never could quite be articulated into a form that more voters could embrace.

Great job, Ted, time to send home Jeb’s buddies and stop blowing everyone’s money.

There's hope for Cruz. It turns out that...

1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + ... = -1/12

If Trump wins many more primaries he may end up with less than zero delegates!

-1/12

Agreed, a decent and honorable man would withdraw and it would be nice to see him do it but I doubt he will.

I hope I’m wrong.

687 / 634 = Ted only needs slightly over 108% (article numbers).

I’d be hard pressed to believe Cruz, or Kasich for that matter, would support Trump. Not so much Kasich as Cruz. Don’t go home mad Ted,,,, just go home.

God has decided we’re not ‘truly conservative’ enough to deserve Ted Cruz as our president.

When is that held? It’s not on my list.

I’m thinking it has to be good for 500 delegates!

“Ted Cruz is eliminated.” Ted Cruz is eliminated. Ted Cruz is eliminated. Ted Cruz is eliminated.

GOSH, that sounds so good.

"Is he mathematically eliminated in non-Euclidean universes or just Euclidean ones?"

Cruz's path to the nomination now consists solely of vectors in the i domain.

Trump beat Ted by 835,000 votes tonight, a complete and total blowout. And the clowns in the Never Trump movement are still plotting to try and stop Trump in Indiana. MSNBC just had Rick Tyler, John McLaughlin, the pollster and the detestable Ben Ginsburg still talking how Indiana is going to do it for Cruz.

God has decided that he doesn’t want someone like teddy to ascend because teddy abuses Christianity for his own power hunger.
