Cruz won 64 Delegates Saturday March 5th, 2016 and Trump won 49 Delegates.
Cruz gained 15 Delegates to shrink Trump's lead to 83 Delegates.
Prior to March 5th, 2016 Trump had a 98 Delegate lead and now has an 83 Delegate lead.
Four States (Hawaii, Idaho, Michigan, and Mississippi) have primaries on Tuesday March 8th, 2016.
Cruz appears to gain an advantage if it's a Caucus State and a Closed vote even if Trump is leading in the polls/exit polls. The only exception where this does not apply was Texas Cruz's home state.
The next 4 States will go the following way IMO.
Trump wins 3 (Mississippi, Michigan, Hawaii) Cruz wins 1 (Idaho)
The big losers were the Establishment candidates Rubio and Kasich.
If Trump and Cruz can come together on a ticket, as many Freepers were pushing prior to the Primaries, then this Primary is over. The Establishment loses BIG TIME, and there is no brokered convention.

Here is the Delegate count link,
http://www.realclearpolitics.com/epolls/2016/president/republican_delegate_count.html
Has a different delegate count for LA
26 for trump, 11 more than RCP has.
Cruz’s wins are AGAIN associated with CHEATING.
Like ObamaTRADE, Cruz is a vampire.
Could Cruz ask for VP slot with Trump at the convention so he could swing his delegates over to Trump, thus allowing him the win
I see the link brings you to the bottom of the page, scroll up 3/4 of the way to the totals chart.
Not to burst your pretty balloon but not all of the delegates have been allocated yet.
There are at least 10 more from Louisiana to be proportioned.
One more point.
If Trump and Cruz cannot work together, then the Establishment will give us Marco Rubio, Mitt Romney or John Kasich.
Rubio and Kasich combined have only won 1 State out of 19 Republican State Primaries. Mitt Romney is considered a loser after 2008 to McCain and 2012 to Obama.
In other words a Brokered Republican convention will most likely lead to a Hillary Presidency.
Hence, why I say Republican Establishment types are Democrat Operatives with “R”s by their names.
Just thought you should be alerted to the presence of this vanity, so that you can skip reading it.
Louisiana has a total of 46 delegates.
Your numbers don’t add up.
Trump had more votes than Cruz yesterday.
Okay as it stands for the moment.
"Mr. Trump, how can you select as running mate someone you claimed is Constitutionally unqualified to be president and who you were threatening to sue over that very subject? What changed?"
How does Trump answer that?
Fact: This will mean that neither will have sufficient votes to outrightly win, and thus it will go to a Brokered Convention. Thing is, and this is the ironic part, either Trump nor Cruz will come out ahead at a Brokered Convention. It will be someone from the 'proper' GOPe (just as ironic, the PROPER GOPe doesn't even include Rubio ...he was just the chump surviving after Jeb got ejected), and some candidate not yet running will be chosen. That candidate will then go ahead to lose (heavily) in the General Election to Hillary Clinton (who will win over Sanders, particularly considering the safety cushion her super delegates give her), and we will have Madam Hillary Clinton as POTUS. She will then elect several Supreme Court Justices, and continue America's slide to oblivion.
You can bet your bucks on the above.
Cruz blocked a vote to fund clean water for Flint, MI

Michigan’s primary on Tuesday.
“Not to burst your pretty balloon but not all of the delegates have been allocated yet.”
Exactly.
This thread should be pulled.
The data is supporting that dems are crossing over in open vote states to vote for Trump to help Shrillary win the White House.
I don't want Cruz to work with Trump is any way shape or form. I don't care what happens to the GOP.
Anyone on the web, including you, can edit Wikipedia (Wiki means edit). Although it’s a good place to start research.
Anyhow, I would trust Real Clear Politics web site Delegate numbers before Wikipedia.
“Okay as it stands for the moment”
Then why the hell post this crap saying that Cruz won?
You are just spreading false information.
