Didn't see Missouri posted recently ... so ... rounding out the night ... Trump's held steady up by half a point for the past 15% reporting (it's at 85%) ... so looks good, depending on who you like.
Jackson sure is sitting on it, waiting to see how much it needs. It also has little Buchanan sitting at 96 percent, but waiting only to see if Jackson needs a few dozen or so votes. Meanwhile St. Louis city is at 57 percent, but have very few votes, and the county is sitting at 92 percent. The thing is, although St. Louis went for Trump, I don’t know whether county officials are for Trump. They may also be waiting to see what they need, but for which candidate?
St. Louis County is a virtual tie with Trump actually ahead. 92% reporting.
Rough estimate - Cruz could pick up a +300 to +400 vote difference in big counties he’s leading in.
Trump is hanging on a +2,111 at this moment.
this really pisses me off. Just count the damn votes.
Well apparently Ted Cruz was just fine with it too, because he voted to make its existence possible with the Corker Bill.
Now he wants to change it?
Trump 373,389
Cruz 371,278
St. Louis and KC playing a game of chicken.
“Cruz lost me tonight with this: “Donald Trump says he’s OK with the Iranian nuclear deal, but would try to negotiate a better one.” WTF?”
That is exactly what a Trump said in earlier debates.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
So when Trump says, about 50 times a day for the past few months, that the Iranian nuke deal may be the single worst deal in US history, that means he’s okay with it?
Anybody mention it’s about delegates?
While you call primary election results by states?
Delegates.
That’s the thing.
Congrats to Ted for this delegate showing.
Thank you Rubio for getting out better late than never but REALLY!
County, count.
The Rubio people will still vote for him. look at the over 20,000 still voting for non primary candidates.
Lets hope that the outstanding precincts are the “urban” areas where there are little to no Republican votes.
You do realize that a bunch of the MO delegate go to the overall winner right? Only some of them are split.
A landslide would be fantastic.
Ok or not ok, he said he would hold them too it scrupulously.
He did not say he would throw it out.
And he of course said he would have negotiated a better deal,,
Thats right, The delegates split but, they then determine the congressional districts. And that goes to whoever wins those districts.
The winner could be the loser in this one.
Illinois is about to finish before Missouri
KC at 89% could give another 2,500 or so votes to Cruz and nearly 2,400 to Trump. Perhaps a bit more than that.
at 100/89 with Cruz at 25,xxx votes, I figure at least 2,520 for Cruz and about 2,4xx for Trump. A difference of 120 votes or so.
St. Louis is closer with a slight edge to Trump. Another big country or two but almost done. I see Cruz picking up now about 120-250 votes but not enough to catch Trump. If things stay relatively stable, that is.
And that’s a big assumption because you can get pockets of varying support.
Even at my 300-400 Cruz pick up guess, he’s still short. Close in delegates though.
Trump 375,473
Cruz 373,006
Now about +2,467 Trump.
Trump has regained about 352 from moments ago.
