Cruz has 562 delegates. He needs 675 more. Trump has 954 delegates. He needs 283 more.

If one were to win every delegate left there are only 502 left. Not enough.

If Trump were to take all of Kasich’s delegates, of which there are 153 he would only have a total of 715 delegates and this is supposing those delegates WOULD swing to Cruz.

So...going on the assumption he gets ALL of Kasich’s delegates and has a total of 715 and then gets the ENTIRE rest of the delegates of the last 10 primaries, he would have a total of 1217, still under the total amount needed to win, which is 1237, or 20 short.

I don’t see how he can possibly go on. What is this guy thinking. Meanwhile Kasich has not even voiced he is dropping out and if he did the delegates do not automatically swing over to Cruz anyway.

Well, his running mate’s zero delegates should get him over the top.

The new math—Cruz style.
