On April 19th and 26th, Donald Trump will win the vast majority of 365 delegates.
Think about that. He will pick up in excess of 300 delegates, perhaps as many as 340 of them.
Is the headline “Ted Cruz’s Missed Opportunity In New England States?” Is the headline “Ted Cruz Mathematically Prevented From Getting 1237 Delegates After 04/19”? Is the headline “Ted Cruz’s Campaign In Utter Collapse”? Of course not, the headline is Trump’s supposed.missed opportunity to grab Nebraska’s 36 delegates.
The big story isn’t Trump’s possible 340 delegate gain, it is Ted’s possible 36 delegate gain.
The big story isn’t Ted being mathematically eliminated from a possible 1237 delegates prior to the convention, it is Trump’s supposed fumble.
The media is so in the tank for Ted. The poor little guy is dead in the water, and yet rather than pull him out of the pool, they break out the inflatable floater devices for his upper arms to keep his mouth above water. And it’s not working.
Is the big story that Trump will have close to 1100 delegates after April 26th? No. Is the big story that Ted will be lucky to have 600? No.
The big story will be that Trump will lose 36 delegates in Nebraska that he desperately needs.
The bigger story will be that Cruz supporters will be assured of Ted prevailing at some point in part due to silliness such as this.
Cruz supporters, it’s time to get up. Oh, did we wake you in the middle of a good dream. Sorry. Reality beckons. It’s a beautiful day out.
Time to expend some of your energy on a good cause, like supporting the only man who can truly put an end to the uni-party that is systematically destroying our nation.
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:

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.
