Recent nominees and their delegate totals:
Trump 1725
Romney 1575
McCain 1575
GW Bush 1496 (2000)
Dole 1928
There were 17 people in this race!
Wow at those totals.
And to think, it seems like just yesterday I was losing sleep whether Trump would get to 1237 bound.
Even then, never could fully relax. The gavel has finally fallen! TRUMP! TRUMP!
Thanks for the info; I was wondering how many the previous years candidates got.
