After sweeping all five primaries that occurred Tuesday Connecticut, Rhode Island, Delaware, Maryland and Pennsylvania Donald Trump has 987 delegates, Cruz has 562 with 622 remaining.
Ted Cruz was mathematically eliminated on Tuesday night.
There are fewer delegates remaining than we originally projected because the delegates in Wyoming, Colorado and North Dakota were allocated in corrupt voter-less elections. But our April 2nd projections for Trump and Cruz were very, very close.
Trump was awarded another 40 Pennsylvania delegates on Wednesday which brings his total to 987.
Donald Trump only needs 250 more delegates to secure the Republican nomination.
Overall for Trump
** Donald Trump won every county in every state on Tuesday.
** Donald Trump only needs to win 43% of the remaining delegates to secure the GOP nomination.
** Trump leads all Republican candidates with 987 delegates and has more delegates than all the other Republican candidates combined.
** Trump now leads all Republican and Democratic candidates with 23 primary wins (Cruz has 4 while Hillary has 21).
** Trump leads all candidates in states won 26 (primaries and caucuses) now more than half of the states and territories.
Every county, every demographic...
He blew them out of the water
It was the USS Enterprise against a rowboat and a canoe
Yep pretty much so.
I have Trump now taking 160+ for CA (Trump up +27% latest CA poll) and with NJ 51 delegates = ~211, and there are 10 primary states left. McCain in 08 won 155 out 173 CA delegates with a modest 7.7% win across California.
i’m always screaming about FReepers getting too overconfident, and i still think that way about the generals. Will take a lot of work.
But this primary is finished.
unless something incredible happens.
I have my doubts about this delegate counting. It is 97 delegates higher for Trump than the other counts I saw yesterday. Hmmm...
The article is by an ardent Trump supporter.
It would be nice if it were true, but I have my doubts.
Most every where else you go they are saying something in the neighborhood of 950.
Gateway Pundit is allocating the Pennsylvania free delegates which the media is afraid to do.
These are the ones who were selected as Trump delegates or who pledged to go by their Congressional District vote....Trump having won all of them.
So it is very realistic
Yeah. The lame media has been counting all those unbound pledged delegates out of WY, CO, ND ... for Cruooz. It’s only ‘fair’ (LoL) to include Trump’s pledged delegates from PA.
First look, I thought that said A$$.
And I LOLed
Who’s that supposed to be on the railroad track?
It’s the desperation setting in...how desperate do you have to be to think Carly Fiorina is going to help you?
Politico has it at 992.
Right now Donald Trump has more bound delegates that the total of every other candidate, including Carson, Bush, Huck, Fiorina and Paul. This also includes 54 unbound delegates from: ND,AS,CO,VI,GUAM,WY and LA.
Fiona. ?
How Rove still has a job amazes me!
LOL! No way, they actually used that photo? LOL LOL
I am counting 502 delegates remaining on Politico am I missing something? Because I keep seeing your 622 number making me think there are some from an old primary that haven’t been distributed or something?
I’m seeing 578 left on Politico
Yes, yes, yes, my darling Trump.
I will vote for no one but my Trump.
In the Middle Ages he would have been like the head knight
In shining armour or better yet the King himself but definitely the
Strongest warrior in history ... perhaps Zeus who knows.
She has a vagina.
I noted on or about April 4th that Levin said he’s “90% sure” that there will be a contested Republican convention.
Well I’m about 900% sure there won’t be. LoL.
