If what Cruz did was wrong, why has Trump hired Manafort to do the same thing?
>>Why would anyone vote for Cruz who has no chance of actually getting the nomination...<<
Guess you haven’t really been paying attention, huh?
You mean in all those states that are destined to go to Hillary or Bernie in a landslide? Yes, let’s let those states pick the GOP candidate. I’m sure they’ll do a great job of it.
So, you're suggesting that the remaining Cruz supporters have their votes disenfranchised? You'll fit right in with Hillary and Bernie.
Trump is like a football team that blows people away in the first half, then sucks eggs in the second half.
Think the San Diego Chargers of the Dan Fouts era.
Easily capable of putting 40 or more points on the board.
Just as capable of blowing huge leads and losing the game.
A great show, but much ado about nothing.
You count 365, I count 265. Where do you get the other 100?
Of those, he’ll probably get 180-200 I’d guess. All of the states in play award somewhat proportionally except Delaware, but they only have 16.
Here’s a link I like for summarizing things:

>>He’s lost vote after vote and has resorted to stealing delegates because he can’t get the votes he needs.<<
There you have the corrupting influence of your dear leader on full display. Now, to you, playing by the established rules is “stealing.”
Question: Do you think Trump will respect the Constitution when it gets in his way? The obvious answer should bother you....a lot.
If Cruz’s ground game and organization is so awesome, why can’t he win the vote? Elections are about attracting voters and Cruz has failed.
No, not rigged. I don’t think he even planned to do anything there. Why? I had this on Cruz’s board three months ago.
And I have Trump at 1170 without IN, PA, and with a very low delegate count in CA. In other words, I have Trump winning. He doesn’t need MT, NE, SD, ND.
I rechecked my numbers and you are right.
I may have inadvertently added New York twice.
Your link is okay. I provide it as a reference also.
There are three other sites which are consistently different, and they match up. They are more favorable to Trump for some reason.
A Wikipedia site
The Green Papers
The RNC
I would rather have Cruz debate Hillary and expose her for what she is by using his superior intellect. Show this and the votes will come.
No, I just wondered why anyone would vote for someone with no chance of winning? I’m guessing that once he has no mathematical chance of winning, his numbers will drop down to the level that Kasich has, low teens to mid 20’s in some cases.
Any article that is posted, if it says anything other than that Trump is a god amongst men, you’re going to see an F-U somewhere in the first 15 comments.
And Florida is merely NYC south.
Where people from NY retire to to escape the workers paradise they created in NY.
I would count Florida as an outlier because of that fat little fact.
You can take the yankee out of NY, but you can’t take NY out of the yankee.
That little puke Sasse will get some chin music in that primary when he tries sell a dead body as a contender. Slick Teddie will be dead and buried by Nebraska.
The last primary, Wisconsin, was an open primary with record turnout. Cruz won handily, including in Milwaukee.
If Trump wants to get mad at anyone then he should direct his anger at his campaign manager. It’s his job to know the rules and the dates and what needs to be done himself, or hire someone to do it for him. The Keystone Kops campaign that Lewandowski is running will be what costs Trump the nomination. Not any illegal acts on the part of his opponents.
Another classy response from another classy Trump supporter.
Your math is off by quite a bit. On those dates, there are only 267 delegates available, and 54 of those will be unbound. So the most Trump could pick up if he swept every state is 213.
Yes, I had been up for five minutes and tried to add up those delegates in my head out of a list that didn’t have really pronounced differentiates for the 26th.
I may have overlapped New York or simply added it again.
You’re count minus the 100 isn’t that far off from mine.
I said he could win 300, possibly as high as 340.
Minus the 100, my estimate of 200-240 isn’t that far out of line.
If 213 is the max, that’s okay. He will be short of 1000, but that’s not a bad position to be in.
As for California, Trump wins it going away.
It’s a primary, and Ted has a very big problem with them.
The RNC can control delegates, but good luck with controlling all Republicans in the state. Not gonna happen.
