Even as Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, maintains that no one will win enough delegates to secure the Republican presidential nomination on the first ballot, the campaign of front-runner Donald Trump is predicting Trump will shatter the number needed for victory.
“The Cruz spin machine produces more lies than anything else,” says a memo distributed late Tuesday by the Trump campaign to Trump surrogates. “Our projections call for us to accumulate over 1400 delegates and thus a first ballot nomination win in Cleveland” . . .
The memo instructs Trump supporters to continue Trump’s line of criticizing the Republican National Committee for the method in which delegates are awarded . . .
As the Trump campaign boldly proclaimed it could hit a higher number than anyone has said, a Republican National Committee member affirmed his position that Trump would not need to win 1,237 delegates to ensure a first-round victory.
“Once you have 80 percent of the delegates, the idea that the 20 percent will deprive the 80 percent is not viable,” said Randy Evans, a member of the Rules Committee, who last week predicted that if Trump ended the primary season with 1,100 delegates he would be the nominee. “Historically, insiders want to remain insiders and the bandwagon effect always takes over.”
Evans noted that Trump could reach the number he needs to ensure eventual victory within the next few weeks of primaries. On Tuesday, Connecticut, Delaware, Maryland, Pennsylvania and Rhode Island go to the polls. That is followed by a May 3 contest in Indiana. The primary season wraps up June 7 with California (172 delegates alone), New Jersey, Montana and New Mexico voting then.

Old news.
Leaked? hmm.
Sounds like boasting when actually weak, as opposed to stealth when actually strong.
Isn’t that rich? Trump is feeding them stuff just as if he were a “normal” politician!! ;-)
The following is a must see video and article for every American to see how all U.S. politicians have betrayed the USA and Americans for decades helping China steal our jobs and industries , the greatest theft in world history:

I said, in the history of the world, this is the greatest theft ever perpetrated by anyone or any country, what China has done to us.
It is the greatest single theft. They have taken our jobs, they have taken our money, I mean I see the empty buildings all over Staten Island... I see them all over... Really really sad. That’s not going to happen anymore with me...
Yes ....a hostile takeover of a corrupt anti-American- citizen entity that has been part of the fabric of our lives. He decided to change from within ...a 3rd party wouldn’t have effected real change.
An amazing feat!
I honestly had no idea how bad it was until they betrayed us over Obamacare and immigration over and over. Nor did I think anyone could or would take them on.
So he thinks he will get over 82.7% of the remaining delegates. Interesting.
Leaked by Roger Stone no doubt :)
My wife heard on the radio, that in the bay area the offices are being swamped by voters switching to the Republican party. They want to vote for Trump. Very interesting if the report is true.
