He took all of Indiana’s GOP delegates and that puts him over 1050 yet the ABC reporter pukes can’t even get that right.

RCP has Trump at 1,053 delegates right now.

I guess this is all just a formality now, but anyway, we have Nebraska & West Virginia next Tuesday. That's another 70 delegates, which would put Trump at 1,123 delegates.

Then, on Tuesday the 17th there's Oregon with 28 more delegates, which should put Trump at 1,151, and the Tuesday after that there's Washington with another 44, putting Trump at 1,195, a tantalizing 42 delegates short of the 1,237 required.

So, unless Trump is awarded some delegates from one of the suspended campaigns, it looks like he'll have to wait until June 7 to officially go "over the top". By the end of the day on June 7, however, Trump will have accumulated approx. another 300 delegates (303), which would put him at almost 1,500 delegates (1,498).

But procedurally, I guess, it's all a formality now.

Does this mean that Donald Trump is elected on the first and only ballot, or do they not even have a formal ballot?

Wow! Donald Trump really did this!

Vote Trump

The delegates must vote and a majority must approve the nominee.

That is the object of the exercise.
