Can Trump make 1,237 delegates?

He needs 53.4% of the remaining delegates. It's doable, since many states from now on are winner take all.

Trump up to 661 with 7 delegate still to be allocated in Illinois. In Missouri there are still 37 left to be assigned. My guess is Trump will be at 691 by tonight or tomorrow morning. A whole lot better than the 621 the MSM was using last night. Most people are overlooking the fact that Missouri and Illinois will end of being a treasure trove of delegates that pretty much will negate the Ohio loss. Actually losing Ohio helps Trump as it keeps Kasich in the race splitting the Anti Trump vote.

he needs to win about 60% of remaining to do it..

whos allowed into the buiilding where the convention is are civilians allowed in or is strictly establishment type people



could we see politicians coming to phsical blows at the convention

Can someone have pity on me and explain to this canadian what it means by:

brokered
or
contested

in this election? Does that mean they can throw someone in at the last minute and have them made the nominee?

This election stuff is hard to understand for us non-Americans... well... okay for this non-american.

This is the most vital election this world can possibly watch right now. It's damn important and I'm getting all confused on this brokered/contested stuff (and open/closed stuff while we're at it.)

The way I see it, as a foreigner, isn't California the most liberal hippy actor hairdresser type place in the US? How on earth could Trump win there?

he could win the reopublican primary in california but not a general electikon but i dont know what republican califonians are like maybe theyll like kasich if there on the liberal side

"Does that mean they can throw someone in at the last minute"
yes and i've heard it will be hillary ....is tat possible?

reagan did and he was really a democrat.
pizazz matters not party

Will of the voters means nothing.

HAVE YOU FORGOTTEN?

Now can we stop our states from funding the primaries for these private clubs? It never made sense. The private clubs 9the parties) should fund their own nomination process if they want to continue existing.

Not only will he get it. He will get exactly that number :). Would be a miracle!

now THAT would cause the biggest mass protest in history

you would have millions, including me, marching on washington



it would be bigger than anything in the 60's

Tons of pundits today on Fox pushing the brokered convention. These idiots are fools.

Once they count Missouri in Trump will be at 700. He's way ahead in California with 172 delegates elected by Congressional District. He wins New York with 95 delegates. It will be close. But I think Trump gets over 1100.

Trump could indeed get the 1,237 votes, and Cruz has to "clear the table" to get enough.
Should Trump win, the RNC will contest the popularly nominated candidate. Plus, the RNC can choose from all the Republican candidates in the field whether they're in or out of the race.
Is this going to be another Republican convulsion to vomit out someone they don't like? To be led by Ted Cruz no doubt.
Is this going to be like how they elected Bush over Gore, with 9 S.Ct. votes?
Is all this a sham or what?
I read and listen to Mike Savage, the only person who tells the truth about my country. This is not a plug, it's just who I listen to and believe and respect. Too bad I can't say that about anyone in Washington DC.

They'll broker his vp nominee like Reagan.

Yeah. I said along time ago in another thread that his VP will have ties to the establishment. It'll probably end up being Kasich, or maybe Rubio.

I heard Newt Gingrich say that he thinks Trump and Cruz will probably team up if it comes down to the brokered convention.

I know a lot of Trump voters and Cruz voters are now pitted against one another. I find myself as a Trump supporter looking at Cruz as a rival, but when all of this began, Trump was my #1 and Cruz was my #2.

I think it has been signaled with the debate cancellation.
Cruz is smart and a lot younger he has time for 2020 if Trump does what he says he will.
The man took the offer while watching Kasich and the establishment gloat last night.

Best have a slice of the pie than no pie at all.
Like I said thinks...

Then what the fuck are we here for???? If our vote doesn't count than what's the purpose????

Trump just tweeted; again, that he won MO.

No recount I guess.

Yes, awesome link!
Great find.

It's possible.

I'm more about him being "so close" that these other jerks had best tread lightly.

"So close", that any move they make, will royally screw them up.

The likely outcome. Sucked into it by public opinion.

I'm in Cali. Yes all that and more but almost everyone I know (college degrees, business owners) are all for TRUMP!!

Impossible to push back for his supporters. We are the ones that work and pay taxes.

im going to fap in public if trump doesnt win

Why wouldn't they. After all Trump's run on TV fornearly 10 years garnered him a lot of fans. He plans to turn his popularity into votes. Cruz has Noooooo chance in cali. Kasuck? Meh, doubtful he'd gain much traction in California.

Trump will own it!

Prediction. Trump gets to 1237. Game over.

I read it is illegal to spank your monkey in public in the country of Albania. You would have to come here to San Francisco where 10's of thousands of men would unite with you.

Two more mail-in ballot votes from my house, for Trump here in Arizona.

I think he will do well here, with endorsements from Ben Carson, Sheriff Joe Arpaio, and former gov Jan Brewer all coming through since the old polls. I wish Ron Paul would endorse Trump, that would help him among the libertarians.

While some I know here say they will not ever vote for Trump, because they (mistakenly) consider him a racist, bigot, etc. many others I've spoken with have not voted since the Reagan era do plan to vote for Trump.

Arizona is winner-take-all, and only a few less delegates than Ohio had.

Based on my math he should have no trouble reaching 1,237 delegates given his expected performance in remaining states, many of which are WTA. Also many of the spit delegate states are probably less favorable to Cruz than previous bible belt states have been, and Kasich (assuming he does stay in, with clearly no path to the nomination) may not meet thresholds in some to score any delegates.

All that said, Trump could come in with 1,400 delegates and I wouldn't be surprised if the scumbags at RNC steal it from him! I got furious listening to that asshat Curley Hoagland's interview... I hate the Republican party nearly as much as the Democratic party.
