Trump needs to win about 55 per cent of the roughly 1100 delegates still up for grabs in state-by-state nominating contests to guarantee the nomination.
Donald Trump, the Republican front-runner now has 673 delegates. A new Politico report asserts that Ohio Gov. John Kasich – with one primary win to his name – could win a brokered convention.
Trump predicted yesterday that he will top 1,237 delegates before the convention in Cleveland.
I also was wrong about Trump’s numbers.
Professor Fred Solop of Northern Arizona University said that makes Arizona’s March 22 contest important for the next phase of Trump’s campaign. He now has 143 delegates, while Cruz, 45, has 423.
To those commenting on her RNC meeting status, Orrock pledged her support for Trump at the convention. Kasich said then that Trump had created a “toxic environment” with his incendiary rhetoric.
Here’s a guess at one reason: Until now, none of those candidates was allowed to speak the language Trump uses.
“Are we winning or what?”
“If Trump has hundreds more delegates than the runner-up…it will be exceedingly hard to deny him the nomination”.
“I believe the House could be in play if Donald Trump is the nominee”, Alixandria Lapp, the head of the “Democrats’ flagship House super PAC”, the House Majority PAC, and a “longtime House strategist” told Politico.
“If it was not so ridiculous, it would be laughable what’s going on inside”, he said.

We call for a unity ticket that unites the Republican Party.
Trump said he had more supporters than opponents at the rally and he would not let his campaign be “stifled”. “I will leave the party”.
California is the biggest prize left on the Republican side, with 172 delegates of the 1,237 required to win the nomination. It looks like its candidate will be its worst nightmare, and they thought Obama was bad.
In between that meeting and an address to the American-Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC), Trump showed reporters the ongoing construction of his new hotel in downtown Washington, about four blocks from the White House along Pennsylvania Avenue. In general, the Republican turnout was up over recent contests, while the Democratic turnout was lower than in 2008, the previous year with no incumbent president on the ballot.
“The overwhelming majority of those Rubio supporters have come and are supporting us, so we keep getting stronger and stronger”, Cruz said.
Marco Rubio took time away from his kids’ bedtime Wednesday night to thank the men and women who helped him win his only state: Minnesota.
Responding to the criticism, Trump said Clinton’s Middle East policies “haven’t worked”, and “she doesn’t know anything about my policy”.
