actually with the unbound delagates in PA which were surveyed - he has about 991-1000 so he only needs 237-246 and thats a cake walk right now
Cruz and the Republican Establishment will fight him for every one. To the death.
I have a feeling that the nomination isn’t the only thing clinching right now.
With 583 still available, that is 48.88% (49% of the remaining delegates. Very doable indeed.
Yesterday instead of announcing he was dropping out, the Canadian announced he was making Carly his running mate. Now either he’s insane or he knows something we do not. I would say the latter is the case, the elites have made plans with him.
I’m a Cruz supporter, but, yeah. I think it’s over.
How many hath California?
Zatso? Do you seriously think that even if he walks in to the convention with 1300+ delegates the GOPe won’t try to steal the nomination???
Not gonna happen!
The brilliant selection of iCarly to be Cruz’s VP is a complete game changer! Trump will be lucky to get ten more delegates.
Go Cruz/iCarly 2016!!!!!
Heh. Sometimes I crack myself up.
May 3: Indiana, 57 delegates
May 10: NE, WV, 70 delegates
May 17: OR 28 delegates
May 24: WA 44 delegates
June 7: 303 delegates
Total: 502 delegates remaining - and that is not counting the roughly 82 unassigned delegates, 171 Rubio delegates, the 8 Carson delegates, the 4 Jeb delegates, and the Huckabee and Paul delegates (1 each). I am assuming that Cruz keeps his own delegates and Carly’s delegate, and that Kasich keeps his own delegates too.
If Trump cannot earn 38% of the 769 available non-Cruz, non-Carly, and non-Kasich delegates, he’s not worth voting for.
I understand that Trump is brilliant, but he really needs to fire his hair stylist and makeup artist. The Oompa Loompa complexion must go, and he should have a better plan to shape up and manage that unruly combover. Gotta do it.

Trump has 956 ‘hard’ delegates, needs 281 to reach 1237.
There are currently 118 uncommitted delegates, and 508 delegates are available in upcoming primaries for an ‘availability pool’ of 626.
That excludes delegates currently held by other also-rans.
Even Bing is predicting that Trump will win enough on the first ballot.

For the first time, he needs less that 50% of the remaining delegates, 49.6%. Going over 2472 would be better for him as who knows what shenanigans will be played with/by the unbound.
Trump has peaked, I’m telling you peaked, so listen to what I way. Why won’t the voters listen to Karl Rove, he’s been telling everyone the truth about Trump peaking. First he peaked at 20, the 25, and 30, then 35, and 40, and 45, now he’s getting 55%
PEAKED.
All the news keep saying Trump won’t hit 1237, but with the remaining states that are “winner-take-all”, I think he will get it. The trend seems to be that Trump will take California and that will get him there with only a few more small states.
He wasn’t my first choice, but the writing is on the wall that is going to be the guy for the Republican party.
CA 172
NJ 51
IN 57
Leaving 222 additional delegates in seven other states where Trump will surely get one-third of the total available which will be an additional 70 (+/-) delegates. That will (at least) offset any shortfall in CA, NJ, IN.
IT’S OVER!!!
