He will be a lot closer after tomorrow night and WV...and in each successive election.

Donald’s position statements on the issues are more conservative than most of the GOPe candidates were.

The GOPe is all in for the GOPe...and since they can’t have that, and it is the people themselves who are denying them of it...a lot of them are falling all over themselves to note vote for the nominee, to vote for a 3rd party, or even to vote for the DNC.

Fine...we already pretty much knew that about them which is why Trump ended up controlling the field.

This election is going to boil down to establishment politics on both sides of the aisle, doing all they can individually and together...against the American people who will be backing Trump in the GOP.

Amen to that!

West Virginia and Nebraska tomorrow...a total of 70 delegates available.

May 17th is Oregon with 28.

May 24th is Washington with 44.

If he can get all of those, then by the end of May he would be only 15 delegates short going into June.

Let's see what happens.

I predict New Jersey puts him over the top in the early evening of June 7. The other (and final) primaries that night are in western time zones.

NJ will be announced for Trump seconds after the polls close and then it will be official.

Over 300 delegates available on June 7th.

I believe Trump goes into the convention with possibly well over 1,400 delegates now.

We shall see.

Trump will win 64 delegates tomorrow night putting him at 1144.

He needs 93 more delegates to clinch the nomination.

I agree completely!

As Is ay, I think it likely that he will break 1,400 delegates now.

One thing I also believe...Donald Trump may well end up with the most GOP Primary votes for President in history.

Right now the record is the 2000 Primary where George W. Bush got just over 12 million votes.

Right now Trump has 10.7 million with nine contests (including California) left. He needs 1.3 million votes and I think in these last nine contest he is going to approach 2-3 million if people will still come out and vote.

He has until June 7 since there’s only one primary for the two weeks out.

And they only offer 72 delegates, 21 short of what’s needed.

NJ will have to bring in 51 on June 7th so NJ will put him over the top. No need for CA later in the night.

Not necessarily...states like PA have a bunch of technically unbound delegates...but who pledged themselves for Trump.

Very possible...perhaps even likely.

But I want to see all of those other states go heavily for Trump and really up his popular vote and delegate count.

He needs an absolute SLAM DUNK and I believe now Trump will get it.
