He needs to capture 54% of the remaining delegates to earn the nomination outright and avoid a contested convention. He has won just 48% of the delegates so far, and that was with four rivals taking away some delegates. Now, only two remain, and Kasich is virtually irrelevant.
Does Trump actually benefit from Rubio's departure or will Cruz do better now?
remember when people said Cruz will get Jebs votes?

>>67626035

Victory is so close
>>67626035
How's Trump doing in California? That's a huge amount of delegates there.
Someone offer that rat a VP slot to drop out. Trump has the leverage to do it.
>>67626272
Nice rare proxy Australia.
He'll do it. The people of America won't risk a contested convention. Kasich just won his first and last state, as he's shown he's an enemy of the will of the people.
>>67626270
All we need is for kasich to drop out and Cruz will finally have it, hard fought indeed.
Why is Kasich even in the race?
He's literally who: the candidate.

The last one done had Cruz up by 2 points.
He's more favorable than Cruz in the upcoming states,Cruz was always expected to do better in the South
But Cruz is not to be underestimated, he wins a lot of votes
>>67626601
Just to keep Trump from getting Ohio. He'll drop out soon.
>>67626601
To bitch Ohio out of the 'pub primary. Other things perhaps but basically that.
The whole idea is to invalidate the voting process and allow the RNC to pull of their own variation of the superdegate process to choose their own inside man.
>>67626272
>Kermits asshole is a flag
More people need to understand that a brokered convention is nothing but a multi-party negotiation. That's literally all it is. Candidates entice delegates to stay with them and come over to them by offering them things. Jobs, connections, recommendations, whatever they need.
A multi-billionaire real estate mogul with a path to the White House and that is recognized as a world renown negotiator has the best odds of leaving a brokered convention with everything he wants. Trump will run circles around them handing out jobs and other perks left and right.
>>67627312
I kinda want the opposite to happen just to see the massive riot that would undoubtedly burn the entire party to the ground.
These fucks at the top really think that shit wouldn't go sour if they fucked over the voter and I'm going to laugh when a modern day french revolution happens.
>>67627312
>oy vey goyim don't worry about a brokered convention, that wasn't our plan the whole time
Sorry you're so worried over it.
>>67627564
There won't be a revolution. Just really low voter turnout.
Democrats will win this year either way.
>>67627665
I'm not worried about shit. Donald Trump will be the next President of the United States. I think the doubters are hilarious.
>>67627312
I thought their job was being delegates, what kind of money and connections do these assholes want?

Where will those 13% Rubio votes go, though?
>>67628077
back into the dark assholes of the bush confederation
>>67628077

>>67627813
They want whatever they can get. Their jobs are actually real jobs in government. Imagine you're a county comptroller in New Jersey. You've been assigned to be a delegate by the state. You get pledged, the second ballot is issued, and now you're unpledged, and several candidates want you to pledge to them.
Now also imagine you have, say, a daughter, in business school. She would just LOVE to work at Trump Organization in Manhattan when she graduates. Or let's say you have your eyes on state legislature seat in a very pro-Trump district in your state and would really enjoy a Trump endorsement. People are people. They want things. And Trump not only has a lot to offer, he has no shame in trading horses, and he's arguably the best in the world at doing it. He literally wrote a book on it.

It's tempting to say they would go to Kasich since he is the other establishment candidate, but it's rarely ever that simple. Some will go to Cruz, some will go to Kasich and some will go to Trump. If Kasich stays in the race he will hurt Cruz and benefit Trump in my opinion.

He couldn't even win his own fucking state while some virtual nobody wins his.
>>67628315
Modelling by the poll jew Nate Silver shows that 1v1 Trump v Cruz, Cruz would currently be winning (but not by a huge margin) but If it was a 3 person race with Kasich, Trump would still be winning and he'll keep winning as long as Kasich stays in

I don't think it's that simple, especially given Trump's gigantic lead right now. I also think that some of them will just outright decide not to turn out to vote.

Other than that, Trumps victories have only been getting bigger, he's averaging in the 40 - 45% range and it'll most likely go up, especially in the northeast.

Cruz has said he doesn't want VP.
>>67628534
I'm going to respond to your tinfoil hat stuff with some tinfoil hattery of my own.
Every few years the American Enterprise Institute holds meetings with major corporation executives and politicians on some private island off the coast of Georgia. In one year (forget which one), nearly all the Republican presidential candidates of this race attended. To me it's clear that the powers that be had deemed those to be the candidates they wanted. I don't think the Republican establishment is going to bring back Mitt. I think they are set on the guys they have in the race barring Trump and maybe Cruz (most of the establishment doesn't like lyin' ted). If anything, I think the establishment is going to vainly back Kasich right now and try to rig a contested convention.
>>67628897
If it comes down to a brokered convention then we just take names. It's pretty simple. We get the names of everbody there, and we record whom he or she were supposed to vote for ahead of time, and then whom he or she voted for after time.
It's pretty simple.
Say it with me
>Winner-take-all
Here comes Trump baby!
>>67628936
I am sorry, I couldn't hear you over your mere 62%.
Besides everyone knows USA is borth the birthplace and the mecka for interracial cucking.
>>67626294
That ship has already sailed. Cruz and Trump can't stand each other now.
Cruz is more likely to align himself with Kasich, even though they are diametrically opposed in terms of policy. Cruz is all about the side, not the principle.
>>67628886
Cruz will win most of the mid-western states and the north-west. Trump will win the northeast. California and the southwest if up for grabs because Hispanics will probably mass vote for Cruz because he's a fellow Hispanic and they want their family members over the border. Cruz's support will skyrocket now because Rubio left, making Cruz a real challenger and favored to win.
The guy is the most unlikable cunt who has shit policies and arguments. Jeb Bush would have been better. Trump will most likely not win the nomination because the convention will rob him. The establishment will never let him be on the ticket. And even if Trump was on the ticket, he would lose the general because minorities, single mothers, and millennials will vote Democrat en masse which spells game over for republicans.
>>67628534
Mittens would indeed make a better candidate than Cruz or Kasich.
>>67626035

>>67629427
Splitting the vote ensures a democratic win anyway.
Outside of the Supreme Court nominee and some policy decisions, the presidency doesn't matter for much anyway.
>>67629217
I think you're most likely right, but I'm not entirely sure. The reason I have some doubts about the establishment's intentions is that recently Paul Ryan had a long phone call with Trump. If you remember when similar things were reported about Chris Christie, the ultimate result was an endorsement.
If he gets an endorsement from Paul Ryan then that is basically tacit (however reluctant) approval from the party. Now it could still very well be that the establishment is talking out of two sides of their mouth. They might be playing a dirty game of trying to assuage Trump while at the same time fighting tooth and nail to oppose him. But it's unclear exactly how far they are willing to take this. A contested convention would be hell to pay for the GOP and I think they want to win more than they want to dump Trump.
>>67629217
>Hispanics will probably mass vote for Cruz because he's a fellow Hispanic and they want their family members over the border

Rubio had no support left. He didn't even get any delegates last tuesday. His home state fucked him in the ass. The poor guy lost it when he started making penis jokes. I doubt he will ever be anything but a gay hooker now despite anything nice said about him by Emperor Trump.
>>67629804
There are some other things that make me believe the Republican party may be doing a turn as well. The most recent debate was fairly softball in comparison to the one that came before. That made me think that the donor class told the non-Trump candidates to tone it down so as not to hurt the very likely nominee.
Again though, I'm not certain exactly what the establishment's intentions are at this point. They could be talking out of both sides of their mouth and feigning acceptance of Trump at the same time as they continue to try to subvert him.
Cruz stats are inflated by the early voting of Texas and the butthurt belt of America.
Trump is going for a landslide in the Northeast and Indiana as well. I don't see Oregonfags voting Cruz.

One of the main cruxes of Cruz's campaign is to be against Trump. With the Left's hostile performance towards Trump over the last couple weeks, it'll be hard for Cruz to maintain the illogical position that Trump is Hitler, considering the tactics of the Left are becoming more fascist as time goes.

Just think about it. Rubio destroyed his political career in an embarrassing blowout because the establishment thought he had a 1-2% chance to win Florida. These are powerful people we're up against if they can really make their puppets do these kinds of things.
>>67630482
Keep in mind that Trump had some VERY tight wins earlier on, and in many cases it looks like Kasich drawing votes away helped him win (without Kasich in the race, Trump would have lost Virginia to Rubio no question). There's even data to suggest that 1v1 Cruz outpolls Trump, but with Kasich in the race Trump stays on top
So what happens to delegates of a candidate that drops out? Do they get redistributed based on the proportion of votes the remaining candidates had in the state they came from or do they go wherever the dropping out person tells them to?
Are they actual people or just figurative things?
Did Kasich stay in just to fuck over the Don in Ohio and is going to drop out now?

No, Rubio didn't drop out, he suspended his campaign which means his delegates are still pledged to him. So that means that if there is a brokered convention, they are stuck with Rubio until the second round where every delegate is potentially up for grabs.
It's literally an establishment game.
>>67628626
I'm a flip and I can confirm this.
>>67631945
I mean the thing is that Trump has won most winner-take-all states in a blowout where he's ahead 10-20 points. That's all that matters, the proportional delegates states account for the number of people in the race so it wouldn't matter. And today that Ohio victory would have almost sealed the deal, but that slippery bastard went and fucked it up. Watch him leave the race tomorrow.

Hispanics are Democrats. They'll have no say in the GOP primary. In fact, Trump tends to do better in states and counties with high Hispanic populations. Because the hispanics are democrats and their white republican neighbors hate their fucking guts. Meanwhile in Iowa the promise to seal the border doesn't really move them one way or the other. There was a similar effect in 2008 where great plains states would vote for Obama, but democratic strongholds like the Northeast or California went for Hillary. There are so few minorities in some of the plains states that they don't register as an issue.

Latinos dont care about fiscal conservatism. Fiscal conservatism is dying because of automation. Trumps platform is the future of the gop its that the establishment wont accept it.
>>67626035
The Republican primary is very winner-take-all. Even when it isn't winner-take-all, it's usually some pseudo-proportional district-based winner-take-all. A very small shift in the popular vote can translate to an absolutely massive shift in the delegate assignment.
Cruz and Kasich are going to pick up more of Rubio's voters than Trump, so ultimately the narrowing of the field hurts Trump.
>>67637129
No one cares about fiscal conservatism. Absolutely no one. Name a fiscal conservative who's been anywhere near the white house and I will name you
1) a fucking crook pretending to be something he's not, and
2) one of the fucking idiots that he's managed to swindle
Republican establishment politicians are all about corporate handouts. They like tax cuts for their friends (paid for with debt and higher taxes for everyone else). They like expensive government contracts for their friends (paid for with debt and higher taxes for everyone else). That's not fiscal conservatism. That's looting and pillaging. Hillary's a crook and an idiot, but at least the gibmedats who vote for are getting exactly what they think they're getting; gibmedats. The people who vote for Republicans in the name of conservative economics are the biggest fucking cucks on the planet. They think they're getting fiscal conservatism, but they're getting the exact same higher taxes and higher debt except they've got nothing to show for it! The average black is better at voting for their own interests than the average Republican. Jesus fucking Christ. When it comes to economics, even Trump is running a campaign you'd expect more from a centre-left Democrat like Hillary or Obama than a Republican.
Welcome to America. Your options are economic populism or being robbed blind by crooks. No, you can't have actual conservative policy. Nixon and Reagan killed it.

He literally only has to do as well as he has done and he wins. But he won't do as well as he has done. He'll do better.
>>67638072
>They were all proportional states until now
>Trump will now receive a larger amount of delegates, simply because there are less people
These parts are not true.
A lot of the Republican states up to this point were pseudo-proportional. In the pseudo-proportional states, you get delegates for each district you win and you get some delegates for winning the state. That's not really proportional; if you win every district by 51%-49%, then you won 51% of the state's voters and get 100% of the state's delegates. It's really just winner-take-all divided into smaller chunks. It's a system that still heavily favors the front-runner. The RNC picked that system because they thought the front-runner would always be one of their candidates. Oops.
The states going forward are a lot more winner-take-all with a few more winner-take-district. Rubio's voters are more likely to go to Cruz/Kasich than Trump, which will close the gap. And remember: Cruz only needs to beat Trump by 1% to deny him an entire state's (or nearly an entire state's) worth of delegates.
