At this rate, electing more than 10 of his actual people. - Will Hunting Apr 26, 05:34
According to 538, Trump needs to get to 989 to keep him on track for 1237. That leads to 143 for tonight. -- nm* - Strongbad Apr 26, 05:33 21
- I've resigned myself to him getting 1237 -- nm - ty97 Apr 26, 05:37 17

    - True. But I also thing some of those unbounds, like some of the PA 54, go for him. - ty97 Apr 26, 05:47 7

        Trying to allocate the 54 is a fool's game IMO since they can change their minds at any time and repeatedly, if they please. -- nm* - ty97 Apr 26, 05:55 4

        I feel bad for those 54 people in that case! -- nm - ty97 Apr 26, 05:57 2
        
        I don't. They'll get to ride on Trump One, I'm sure, at the very least. -- nm - znufrii Apr 26, 06:38 1
        
        757s ain't that sexy. Get a real plane Donnie. -- nm - ty97 Apr 26, 07:15
    - But, aren't the pledged guys, even if they are the state chairman for Cruz, bound to vote based on the first ballot for the winner? - Will Hunting Apr 26, 05:42 7
      - Can the rules committee change that at convention? - ty97 Apr 26, 05:48 4
        
        isn't Kasich's whole bit 'there are no rules yet! the rules are whatever we want!'? -- nm - mafic Apr 26, 05:53
        
        Why would a rules committee made up of Trump and Cruz supporters want to do that? -- nm - Strongbad Apr 26, 05:50 2
        
        The question was if it's possible, not if it's feasible. -- nm* - ty97 Apr 26, 05:51 1
        
        According to this article on Slate, rules binding delegates are state, not national -- (link) - Strongbad Apr 26, 05:55
      - In Georgia, yes. -- nm - Strongbad Apr 26, 05:46

- (He's currently 46 below their definition of "on track for 1237") -- nm - Strongbad Apr 26, 05:35 2
  - Giving us a number of 97 to keep his current pace. -- nm - Strongbad Apr 26, 05:37 1
    - My name feels sullied! -- nm* - ty97 Apr 26, 05:57

- and if he can swing ~140 (which he probably can't) he'd be on track for an uncontested nomination. -- nm - mafic Apr 26, 05:30 3

  - where would the fun be in that? I demand a shitshow at the Republican Convention! - Beaker Apr 26, 05:34 1
    - Watching the GOP leadership realize their nominee is Donald will be shitshow enough. -- nm - Will Hunting Apr 26, 05:37
