Trump killed it in Pennsylvania collecting 48 *assured* delegates in total–with the possibility of MORE joining Team Trump in just a short while. Despite all the naysayers, despite all those that said he was the product of low info voters, and even despite one of the most formidable ground games–Trump came out on top in Tuesday's contest. Taking a majority of the unbound delegates and carrying all 5 states during last night's primary showdown, Donald J. Trump is full steam ahead with all the momentum behind him.
This showing in Pennsylvania was critical. It cannot be emphasized enough. Next week Trump will square of in Indiana with Cruz (and a somewhat less competitive Kasich who has agreed to tone down his presence in Hoosier State) and a decisive victory then could mean the end of the road for the #NeverTrump sell-outs.
We will keep you updated as our research takes a more in depth look at the remaining 23 delegates. There is a good chance that many will also vote Trump!
Good.
9 more say they will vote for the winner of the CD, so that should put the count at at least 40.
Yep that’s what I saw last night bumping the PA delegate election to Trump’s delegate list. :-)
Are the 31 counted toward the 1237 total?
It does in the ‘soft delegate’ count.
Impossible! Cruz stole those delegates fair and square!
Cruz got toasted dead in PA.
Shouldn’t that read “YOOOGE Pennsylvania Delegate Update”?
Any data comparison on number of voters who came out for primary 2012?
Any comparison on number of voters who came out vs. GENERAL ELECTION 2012?
CNN is showing Trump with 52 total in PA:

Current delegate count according to them, and I have found them to be fairly accurate is:
Trump: 991
Cruz: 568
Kasich: 154

As I predicted on the Primary Thread yesterday, Trump got over 100 of the delegates last night.
I expect he will go well over the top (probably by 50 or more delegates at this point), on June 7th.
If Cruz is interested in the GOP (without any “e”) winning in November, then he needs to concede next week after Trump (in all likelihood) takes Indiana.
I pray to God that is what he will do. He has the power to:
1) Unite the party by so doing.
2) Deliver a huge blow to the GOPe by so doing.
3) Set up for a big GOP NOvember win.
My Open Letter to Ted Cruz

I say all of this as one who has diligently supported Cruz...but recognizes the truth of the situation and the absolute need to defeeat the Dems in November.
Thank you for that. He’s just short of 1000 now.
Trump even won in the 13th, where I live, which I figured had a fair chance of going for Kasich.
Trump won every single county in every single state. Think about this for a minute. Just in Pennsylvania:
He won Philadelphia and suburbs. He won the old steel country around Pittsburgh. He won Amish country. He won the agricultural/rural areas.
In Maryland, he won Baltimore and the DC suburbs. He won in Annapolis with so many vets. He won in Southern Maryland.
He won the Wall Street suburbs in Connecticut. He won the working class areas of Rhode Island.
I don't know much about Delaware, but he won ALL of it.
The scope of this victory stretched beyond just "states and delegates."
Amazing.
Cruz’s ground game team got schooled...
CNN is showing Trump getting 52 delegates for PA. 17 Bound and 35 assumably from being Trump delegates or following the CD vote.

Cruz got toasTED dead in PA.
This does not include technically unbound delegates from PA.
In my country-boy days, we called that an ass-whoopin'.
