I hope he gets to 1237 delegates prior to the convention and hopefully this will stop the GOPe from pulling any tricks to try to stop him, although one can't be sure of anything.

Wrong. Now that Trump is the only candidate he will get most delegates as he will get most votes.

I think the larger, looming question is how does he get to 270 Electoral College votes, this will be an obstacle.

At this point, with Cruz and Kasich out, I believe Trump comes into the convention with 1,400 or more delegates.

Either way, he will not get there with plenty more than the 1,237 needed.

He wins, without question on the first ballot.

How do you win a race.

Step One - get a big lead.
Step Two - everyone else drops out so you’re the only one still running
Step Three - You win

I should be writing op-eds since I worked all this out by myself.

As I understand it. Ohio primary rules say that if candidate drops out 2nd place finisher gets the delegates. So that is +66

He's on track for 1350 or so - outside the margin of any un-pledged delegates to have an effect.

There are 464 left out there and predictions have him winning at close to 70% from her on out - if he won 70% of the remaining, he'd have about 1380 and there are only about 50 or so potential un-pledged delegates so anything over 1290 and there's nothing that can be used to stop him - short of the Hillary-approved system called "Vince Fostering".....

All eyes on Hillary....

“To do this, he will need to win by wide margins in West Virginia, Oregon and Washington.” Which Albert F&^King Einstein wrote this? How can he NOT “win by wide margins NOW in states he was going to win anyway? They are desperate for a “horse race.”
