Maryland was a state that I was concerned about for the 26th. I now see that concern was unfounded. All the evidence points to shifty Ted getting creamed on the 19th and the 26th. With all that momentum, Trump should be favored in Indiana on May 3rd.

If cruz does well in Maryland it will not be because of his conservatism
It will be because people are voting against trump and if cruz ever got nominated those voters would choose the democrat or not vote

The truth about Ted
He is probably getting more votes as the antiTrump than for himself
Once trump,is gone so are a lot of Ted’s voters

Is MD winner take all? Somebody please chime in.

This is WTA with direct voting of delegates. One small problem Kasich did not have a full slate of delegates so anti-Trump voters will vote for Cruz delegates.

How about a national primary, where all states vote on the same day? That at least would take away Iowa’s and New Hampshire’s super duper importance status.

Maryland “Freak State” PING!

So proud and happy. I’m a nigh 56-yr-old, lifelong democrat (registered in high school) who just switched to republican last month in order to be able to cast my vote for Mr.Trump in my state’s April 26th closed primary. He is the only republican candidate who has inspired enough to change parties—and I will NOT vote for anyone else if the GOP blocks his deserved nomination. I had been worried about the impact of the D.C. suburbs (endangered government workers) in light of Rubio’s strength in the Virginia District counties. Would be wonderful if Maryland’s Governor Larry Hogan stepped up to help Trump but he issued an anti-Trump admonition; wish Christie could intervene (he campaigned heavily if you will for Hogan) and the two join forces for Trump.
Having my state lend it’s votes and delegates to Mr. Trump will make April 26 even sweeter!! Praying that The Trump Train will, by the end of this month, gain sufficient momentum to sweep most if not all of the remaining states.

Not necessarily momentum is not working well this season.
Of course the East is LIBERAL so Trump fits right in. Cruz is pretty much writing this area.

Good news for Cruz who almost always is under polled, sometimes up to 15% or more.

I think Indiana on May 3rd and West Virginia on May 10th are key for Trump. Wins in these states will help him to be comfortably over 1237 in the end.

There are 858 still available delegates
Trump needs 482 delegates or roughly 56%
Cruz needs 692 delegates were 80% of the delegates remaining

yeah, but we need that 50 plus percent mark to stay on target.

Marylanders, make sure everyone gets out to vote!

i’m up in 6 days.

Colorado Effect.

I have to say, I was very pleased to see this get so much national attention. The RNC managed this so badly, and more and more information about the ethics and moral code of justifying the theft and not playing fair is gaining a great deal of empathy for Trump for people who believe, and not feel vindicated, that the ‘game is fixed’.

Kasich could yet be the spoiler who saves Trump; like Gingrich and Paul saved Romney in 2012.
