President Trump is the President that Brad Underwood to OSU America deserves.

So, it looks like Trump needs a little more than half of the remaining delegates to get to 1237 (498 of 944), and, to this point, he's earned a little less than half (739 of 1528).

In retrospect, yesterday was kind of noteworthy because Arizona might be the most pro-Trump state and Utah might be the most anti-Trump state.

Mitt Romney had a strong radio/tv campaign going urging everyone to vote for Cruz so that Trump wouldn't win outright. Didn't come out and say it but implied that he could be the nominee in that scenario. Utah Mormons are good at following instructions, especially to get one of their own elected.

Trump got more votes than he needed last night so all is well with the pro-Trump camp!

If trump can really build this wall for $13billion, construction should have started years ago.

Huh? Trump performed better than expected in AZ, but he still failed to reach 50%, and I nailed it on Kasich's 10%.

Tonight's going to be interesting. Unfortunately, early voting - well before Rubio dropped out - will continue to cast a shadow on things, but I expect Cruz run quite close to Trump in AZ, with Kasich's 10% handing Trump the win.

Without Kasich, or early voting, Trump still would have won AZ but by a much narrower margin. This doesn't change the fact that Kasich is playing for absolutely nothing, unless he has already cut a deal behind the scenes with Trump. And it doesn't change the fact that Cruz can still deny Trump from securing the nomination on the first ballot.

yeah, you nailed it.

kasich and cruz are fighting for the exact same thing, a contested convention. neither has a chance at getting to 1237.

This thing is Trumps. They will not have a brokered convention. It would destroy (more destroy) the party (which would be good) but they won't do it.

The big winner here is trump's attorneys, regardless of win or lose.

Not that it makes a difference, but I think more Republicans would be super pissed that Trump is their nominee than would be super pissed about a brokered convention.

Also not that it makes a difference, but there's plenty of historical precedent for a brokered convention.

trump will leave and take the millions of downgrades with him and the "right" will be non viable in a general election.

What if a bunch of Trump hating Republicans convince some Republican to run as a third party candidate? Romney? Ryan? Ted?

If people can get used to the idea of having Trump as the nominee, why couldn't people also get used to the idea of a brokered convention deciding the nominee?

I don't think this is necessarily an asymmetrical situation.

steve dave · « **Reply #2223 on:** March 23, 2016, 05:44:51 PM »

Because in either 3rd party event the right is conceding a Hillary presidency. They will fall in line behind trump.

sys · « **Reply #2224 on:** March 23, 2016, 06:09:16 PM »

there are a lot of people that have used their votes to vote "not-trump", and if he fails to get to 1237, there will be a lot more that will have done so in the states remaining. if the republican party turns around and gives him the nomination after he fails to gather it on the first ballot, there will still be a lot of voters left very unhappy.
