Is this available in book form?

I checked the official gop site; https://www.gop.com/official-2016-gop-delegate-count/

Trump has 755 and needs 482
Cruz has 521 and needs 716

There are 798 remaining

Trump needs 60.4% of the remaining delegates.
Cruz needs 89.7% of the remaining delegates.

That’s a little off. The reason is that many of the “won” delegates that don’t show as “remaining” have gone back into the hopper-—think Carson, Christie-—and on top of those, there were something like 20 un-pledged delegates from the Virgin Islands, for a total of about 30 more delegates “out there.” In addition, ND had a weird system that doesn’t even get counted, but depending on who you follow, Trump got six from that group, Cruz a bunch more.

In other words, it’s entirely possible that either Trump or Cruz has wrapped up many of these unpledged delegates already bolstering either or both of their numbers. I personally think Trump is closer to 770, Cruz about 540. It changes the math a little.

If Trump gets 50% of the remaining delegates and 25% of the "other" delegates (make the rules so that Rubio delegates who became unbound when Rubio dropped out stay unbound), that's about all he needs. If he can't get those totals, there is something wrong.
