“Since when should a presidential candidate for the Republican—or any other party for that matter to be the President of the United States—when should they have to cater to a small group of delegates as opposed to what the will of the people actually is,” Trump Jr. told Hannity. “I mean, that’s almost mind boggling. I mean, I feel like we’re living in communist China, it’s ridiculous.”

With 93% of the vote in at 12:15 a.m ET, Trump was in the lead at 60% while Ohio Gov. John Kasich was at 25.2% and Texas Sen. Ted Cruz was at 14.8%.

Something tells me those aren't the NY Values Cruz was talking about.

If we somehow get Cruz, Trump, Hillary and Sanders going into November I'll quit the Internet.

Not really, but I'll be really annoyed for a while.

Trump and Sanders as independents you mean? I could see Trump trying it, but I don't think Sanders would be that stupid (despite it clearly being what his fanbase want.)

Ted Cruz is done. He's becoming unglued and had a meltdown on Sean Hannity's radio show. The delegate election process has backlashed against him.

That Kasich campaigning in NYC

Kasich has been mathematically eliminated from winning so voting for him is meaningless. He should have done better in New York and in many of these upcoming mid Atlantic primaries but all of the polls show Trump ahead anywhere from 13 points (Pennsylvania) to 37 (Delaware) (Source). Had Kasich been viable, he would likely be a lot more competitive in places like Pennsylvania, Maryland, Delaware, etc.

The only reason he is still in the race is to use his 66 Ohio delegates as a bargaining chip. Personally I think he will end up as Trump's VP if Trump falls short of the needed delegates. Ohio delegate rules say if someone drops out, they will be allocated to the next winner, which was Donald Trump. So if Trump agrees to Kasich being his VP, Kasich will drop out, the 66 delegates (plus several others he picked up along the way) will go to Trump and put him into the majority.

Ted Cruz will be in the same boat after April 26 primaries.

Tasty · « **Reply #15950 on:** April 20, 2016, 10:48:48 PM »

Bernie Sanders’s campaign manager tried to argue delegate math on MSNBC. It didn’t go well.

Next week's "Super Tuesday III" will be awe-inspiring. Maryland (95 delegates) and Pennsylvania (189 delegates) are up for grabs, and Hillary is up by 26 and 14 points in those states respectively. To say nothing of the other states that day (Delaware: 21 delegates, Connecticut: 55 delegates, Rhode Island: 24 delegates), only one of which seems to vaguely favor Sanders (RI.)

It's gonna be a repeat of New York but on a much bigger scale with even more delegates on the line.

Can't wait.

He continues to bilk swaths of rubes out of their money for donations even at this point, so I get that argument.

As someone who's tired of his shit though, he needs to go.
