“Cruz has a legitimate path. Trump has to over perform by 200% of his average to date in the final states to secure the nomination.”
Delusional. Trump is the ONLY one with a legimate path. Cruz is seen as part and parcel of what is the problem. When the Dems deny Berie, Trump will get even more supporters who are against the system Cruz is playing along with.
Sorry, 150%, not 200%.
Trump has been right at 40% of the delegates of each state, on average.
He cannot break that except in exceptional cases.
He needs 60% of the delegates going forward.
That is a 50% increase, or 150% over performance in order to secure the nomination by the first ballot.
Its not going to happen.
2nd ballot? He gets his hat handed to him as Cruz takes the nomination with ease.
