“Ted now needs 137.86% of the remaining delegates. It’s a joke.”

It certainly is. Ted is absolutely done. He can’t win the nomination fair and square, even if he sweeps all of the remaining states. It’s finally time for him to gracefully concede the race to the clear winner.

Even at this late date it may be possible for Ted to salvage his political career. He may even be able to bargain his way into a key appointment in the Trump administration if he hurries.

If he obstinately hangs on, there’s a strong chance his political career is over. It’s doubtful he’ll even win re-election to his Senate seat.

He will never hold a higher office than he does right now.

I think it’s doubtful how long he’ll hold that one.

He just melted down, and folks aren’t going to guy into this guy again.

Nixon had a very respectable showing against Kennedy.

Tead couldn’t even get to the show. Then there’s the way he ran his campaign. Rightly or wrongly, (rightly IMO) he was just a dirty player and folks perceive him that way.

I think it gets brutally ugly for him from here on out.

Trump is doubling down. Nothing is going to be easy, and he has no path whatsoever.

Trump will be very close to 1237, and Ted will still be back at 900 or so delegates.

He’s done. If he doesn’t know it, someone should tell him.

What about Kasich? They have both been told to stay in the race to stop Trump. I just hope it backfires on both of them and Trump gets the 1237 needed delegates.
