While Trump has racked up 10 wins so far, he's won only 46 percent of the delegates awarded since voting began. It takes an outright majority of delegates to win the nomination.If the Rubot and the Canadien Usurper don't unite,* then unless Trump steps up his game and wins majorities from here on out, it'll be a brokered convention. For after the first vote, all bets are off.

I'm not sure who benefits from this, but from now on the GOP primaries are winner take all.
ReplyDeleteHow many are open (anyone can vote) or closed (only registered Republicans can vote)?
ReplyDeleteThe overall demographics of the upcoming Republican primaries do suggest that tRump could win on the first ballot, but it's gonna be a squeaker.
ReplyDeleteIt is going to be interesting to see the gop use their bag of dirty tricks to stop their own candidate.
ReplyDeleteEvery one talks about how Cruz is unlikable but that also now applies to tRump at least from the parties perspective.

Michigan, Mississippi, Illinois, Wisconsin and Indiana are open primaries. There are a couple that are proportional. California is closed. I need to start the popcorn.
ReplyDeleteBut don't worry, the GOP has an emergency candidate ready and waiting. SNORK!
