He even reiterated this morning on Fox and Friends that he doesn’t need the delegates when asked about getting Rubio’s Louisiana delegates!! I had hoped that this situation would have been cleared up overnight. He ought to scoop up as many delegates as possible by June 7 to have leverage against any sabotage at the convention.
He needs the upcoming Primary Election wins but actually does NOT need Rubio’s delegates. Here is why. There are 448 delegates up to win if we total WV,NB,OR,WA,CA,MT,NJ,NM,AND SD. I believe right now Donald has 1059, so needs to win 178 of the 448. He will easily do that in my opinion due to what polls are telling us. So by
June 8th, Donald will have ALL the delegates he needs to become the nominee on the first ballot at the convention. :)
I meant to add that although Donald does not need Rubio’s delegates, if Rubio wants a job in the Trump administration he would be wise to give Donald a call, come out and endorse Donald and tell his delegates to support Donald. Once Rubio would do that, his delegates are then unbound, and could go to any candidate of their choice. Some probably would follow Rubio’s request, but there may be some who would go to Cruz or Kasich. Who knows.
