hahahaha. You think he’ll goto the convention 1 pledged delegate short and won’t win on the first ballot? There will be a pool of 300+ unbound delegates to choose from. Some of them will be Trump supporters all ready just not pledged. I think you should read up on the process. They’ve basically got to steal it from Trump for him to lose now. The first ballot will either have just him in nomination or him and Cruz. Cruz will have to pick up 4-6 hundred delegates on the first ballot for him to win on the first ballot (not actually mathematically possible). If it gets to the second Ballot the GOPe will have more than enough sway to pull Cruz supporters away so that they do not vote. They’ll basically just manipulate the vote until it gets to about the 5th ballot where they will get another candidate (not Trump or Cruz) and delegates will start moving to that 3rd person. TRYING to make Trump’s wife look like a whore is not the way for him to move forward at this point

If Trump gets to 1,237 because of the unbound delegates, then he gets to 1,237. I never said he needed 1,237 pledged delegates.

If he doesn’t get to 1,237, then nobody will have “basically stolen” anything from him.
