Donald Trump has reached the number of delegates needed to clinch the GOP presidential nomination, securing his status as the presumptive Republican nominee and avoiding a contested convention, according to a delegate count released Thursday by the Associated Press.
The AP reports that Trump was has reached 1,238 delegates, put over the 1,237 needed to win the nomination by a small number of the party’s unbound delegates who said they would support him at the convention. Trump will most likely add more delegates to his total before...

Trump garners unbound delegates!
One thing.
Trump better not screw it up like Romney and McCain.
Before NJ.
Trump is no longer the presumptive nominee, ladies and gentleman.
Now its official!
Good!
Calling Speaker Ryan......
There is no guarantee of what will transpire at the ‘con’vention. I still don’t trust the gopE regardless of their statements about unity.
What’s the over/under on Ted reclaiming his Canadian citizenship?
Good news. Shows Trump has been doing his job behind the scenes as well.
Trump has peaked. He’s going to say something stupid and crater any minute! He has no .... wait.
Never mind.
1238 delegates? 1238 Delegates!
I fully expect the next move by the GOPe is to start qualifying delegates.
Or maybe start creating SuperDelegates. I know some think it is a little late for that, but this is a Washington based party.
Trump was put over the top in the Associated Press delegate count by a small number of the party’s unbound delegates who told the AP they would support him at the convention. Among them is Oklahoma GOP chairwoman Pam Pollard.
Old Hughie must be so upset I’ll bet he went out and bought some more LeBron Cavs jerseys just so he can burn them in protest again!
Yep...I heard Medved describing some weird rule some are talking of about “voting your concious” at GOP Convention...
I hope he doesn't. But, perhaps O would see just how inappropriate all of it was.
They will have a “temporary ban” on Trump delegates until they “figure it all out”.
:>)
Yes!!!!!! Congratulations, Mr. Trump!!!!
ding!ding!ding!ding!ding!
I will be rather reserved on this until after the 7th of June.
While I do think Trump is very close, I’m not convinced he’s over 1237 yet. I lean toward 10-20 points down still.
I have always considered the reports to be rough estimates. This is confirmed by the fact that no two reporting sites have the exact same numbers.
