You may have studied it more than me and be more accurate, but Trump will have around 460 delegates in the morning.

Within a week, he’ll be close to 1000.

I could be wrong. We’ll see.

460 to 462 after tonight. But if Trump sweeps all of the winner-take-all states and runs 50% of the proportional contests in the next week, he still will only add 350 to his total. That would be 810, and that is great, but he would have to sweep them all to get there. Then the numbers start to slow down.

Pennsylvania (71), New York (95),and California (172) are biggies, but those are only 338. Add those to 810 and he is still about a hundred shy.

Now if he sweeps next week, the momentum will be on his side and he could pick up the winner-take-all states of Arizona (58) and Wisconsin (42) and seal up the win.

But... again, he has to run the board next week to clear his path.

Impossible? Not at all. A cake walk? Nope!

Missouri (52) could go for Cruz (Kansas, Oklahoma, and Iowa are neighbors and went for Cruz) and Ohio (66) could go for Kasich. If that happens, then it’s another 118 delegates Trump has to come up with.

With the collapse of Rubio, there has to be a new look made at all of the races. And of course, every week brings new dynamics.

We will see.
