Here's Donald Trump's path to the magic number he needs to win the GOP nomination
Business Insider ^ | 4/20/2016 | Allan Smith

ALBANY — The head investigator for the state Board of Elections probed the 2014 fundraising efforts by Mayor de Blasio and his team on behalf of the Senate Democrats and found enough “willful and flagrant” violations to warrant a criminal referral to the Manhattan DA’s office.

The Daily News obtained a bombshell memo state Board of Elections Chief Enforcement Officer Risa Sugarman sent to the board’s four commissioners on Jan. 4 recommending the referral.

“I have determined that reasonable cause exists to believe a violation warranting criminal prosecution has taken place,” Sugarman wrote. “The violations discovered by this investigation can only be described as willful and flagrant.”

Interesting delegate dynamic. Keep in mind that Trump is trending in Indiana up 8 points. If you are interested in how Trump gets to 1400 delegates below is a link to an interview of Sarah Huckabee who talks about the delegate math to 1400.

Interactive delegate calculator for us nerds who like to play with numbers. I personally don’t think 1237 will be a problem.

A copy of this should be sent to every state Republican delegate group to warn them not to commit crimes with that state’s voters.

I am really confused as the text in the op is talking about Criminal activity by de Blasio And not talking about trump. The text at the article link does not match.

Cruz will control the actual delegates and after challenges and rule changes Trump won’t have the requisite number for a first ballot win. Care to guess who will after the second or third vote?

Last night on Judge Jennine, she had two of the biggest GOPe Trump haters in the world on. Charlie Black said if Trump goes in to Cleveland under 1,237 he’s done. He said it will go to a second ballot, where at least 500 delegates will cave and not vote for him again because in Black’s words “they hate him to start with”. Then Black proudly predicted Kasich would win the nomination on a third ballot because delegates also hate Cruz. The judges eyes were as big as saucers when he was blabbing this. Then came up Ed Goeas. He said if it goes to a second ballot Trump is finished because his unfavorability is so bad and so is Cruz’s so that means Kasich will get the nod. So if both of these GOP elites are right, the entire election process should be junked. Just get to the convention under the required number and the party bosses pick the nominee. They both freely admitted it makes no difference how many delegates he has, Trump will never be given the nomination. So Black and Goeas are voting for Hillary Clinton, because Kasich didn’t earn a thing, neither did Cruz, and neither one of them can beat Clinton and they would rather she be elected than Trump.

A sample of what I see above:

“ALBANY — The head investigator for the state Board of Elections probed the 2014 fundraising efforts by Mayor de Blasio and his team on behalf of the Senate Democrats and found enough “willful and flagrant” violations to warrant a criminal referral to the Manhattan DA’s office.”

Thanks for posting what these two election thieves are bragging about.

Cruz backers in a sober moment, if they care about America, might want to read what these two criminals are saying.

Paul Manafort (Trump’s delegate wrangler) and Charlie Black (Kasich’s delegate wrangler) are business partners in the off-season. I suspect a Trump-Kasich coalition at some point.

You are delusional at this point in the primaries to still believe or even pretend to believe that Cruz has a chance to win the nomination. He’s not even going to be at the convention. Cruz will be back in his senate seat soon unless he wants to become the most reviled person in GOP history. If he does then we will know he’s a fruitcake and we were smart to avoid him.

Right not a problem for Trump to get to 1,237. As you see, Cruzies don’t know how to count.

The Cruzlims new strategy is to try and steal it Even if Trump has 1237. In which case Cruz will go down as the most Hated politician in American History.

If the rules are changed it won’t matter if Trump has 1400 first ballot votes.

You seem to be confused. Donald Trump is the presumptive nominee of the Republican party. He has a majority of votes, delegates and is waaay head in all polls. The guy who can’t deal with defeat is Felito Cruz. Everyday that he refuses to get out will make him more and more disliked. Just like he is in the Senate. He’s an unlikeable obstructionist who cannot take no for an answer.
