Currently CNN is showing Donald Trump with 1175 total delegates. But the counting in Oregon is not complete so they show him with 18, and Cruz and Kasich both with 3.
I believe Trump will end up with 20 delegates, so I am going to go ahead and call it that way, meaning Trump will have 1177 delegates.
So as of March 18,2016,:
Donald Trump has 1177 delegates. He needs 60 more delegates to clinch the nomination at 1,237
In terms of popular vote overall, Trummp is taking Oregon with 67% of the vote. With 80% in, he now has 214,400 votes.
If that holds, it means he will end up with approximately 268,000 votes. Up to this point Donald had 10,925,000 votes total. If we add the 268,000 to that, we get 11,1930,000.
The record for the most votes for any GOP Presidential candidate in a GOP Presidential Primary is 12,035,000 for George W. Bush in 2000.
In the upcoming primaries, which include California, Donald Trump now needs another 842,000 votes to set the all time GOP record.
IMHO, he is going to break that record by as much as a million or more votes...and the amazing thing is that he is going to do it in a field that started with 17 candidates, and held numerous candidates until later in the primaries. Simply amazing turnout.
Amazing turnout and we will see same in November
Thanks for the encouragement Jeff!!!!
We the People realize this is our last best opportunity to turn our nation around, Lord willing, and are passionate in getting out the vote!
