\"Updated<\/a>
\nUpdated GOP Delegate Preliminary Totals
\nAfter 3\/22 primaries.<\/p>\n

The above chart will be updated throughout the Primary Season.<\/h2>\n

The Legacy Media (a.k.a. MSM) and the RINO GOP Establishment (GOPe) have been going out of their way to make the race for the GOP Presidential Nomination appear close, when in fact, it is anything but close.\u00a0This page has been created to not only publicize the the number of delegates that each candidate has been allocated, but to put the numbers into a visual format, that brings the numbers into real perspective.<\/h4>\n

The important point to note about the delegate totals is that now, this race is a 2-person race and it’s not, as Ted Cruz would have you believe, between him and Donald Trump. It’s between Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton. That’s because, for Cruz to reach the 1,237 threshold, he would have to win 91% of the remaining 848 delegates.<\/strong> That’s not going to happen. Also, the Establishment hates Cruz more than\u00a0they fear Trump. But they know that Cruz can’t win, which is why they now find it safe to support his as a spoiler candidate for Trump. It’s a safe bet that if it goes to a brokered convention, Cruz won’t be allowed to get anywhere near the nomination.<\/p>\n

There are 848\u00a0delegates remaining to be allocated after the March 22\u00a0states voted.\u00a0Cruz has 464\u00a0total delegates. So to reach 1,237 delegates, Cruz would have to get 773\u00a0more delegates (1,237-464=773). That’s 91% of the 848 remaining delegates (773\/848=91.2%).<\/p>\n

This means that there is no remotely reasonable\u00a0scenario<\/span>, where Cruz can win the 1,237 delegates to take the nomination from Trump.<\/h3>\n

Therefore,\u00a0the only possible reason why Cruz is staying in the race is because he has gone over to the Dark Side (joined the GOP Establishment) and like Kasich, it trying to help the GOP Elite get to a brokered convention, so they can pick our candidate for us. Of course, as mentioned above, the Establishment hates Cruz even more than\u00a0they fear Trump. So a brokered convention would certainly produce a nominee who has not been in the race, up to that time, like maybe Boehner, Ryan, or worse. But in such case, you can bet that the running-mate would be Jeb Bush.<\/p>\n

A brokered convention is an Establishment dream, because it gives the GOP Elite the opportunity to select their<\/strong> choice for the nomination, without the interference of us\u00a0pesky voters, who don’t understand that conservatism<\/em> is only something that a politician talks about<\/strong>, not something that he is supposed to actually practice<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The above chart shows where the top three ranking candidates stand on allocated delegates, including how they fared in each state. It will be updated throughout the Primary Season, as soon as possible, as more states allocate delegates. During election nights, expect to see this chart updated more than once, as returns roll in. Election night updates will be based upon calculations that are, themselves, based on the delegate allocation rules for each state. The chart will then be refined\u00a0over the next day or two, as the official numbers are published. For example, we calculated that Trump won 10 delegates in New Hampshire, on election night, while Rubio won 3. But after all the votes were counted, the New Hampshire GOP allotted 11 to Trump and 2 to Rubio. The chart was updated to reflect that change within 24 hours. (As a side note,\u00a0most of the major media is still reporting the incorrect, out-of-date\u00a0New Hampshire numbers.) We check back on the official totals every few days, so if the official numbers change the above chart should change within a couple of days.<\/em><\/p>\n

Also, since Rubio has dropped out, he has been removed from the chart. Kasich is not included, because it is mathematically impossible for him to reach 1,237 delegates and he is staying in the race, only to help the Establishment undermine\u00a0the will\u00a0of Republican voters.<\/em><\/p>\n

This page uses data from many sources, including various news organizations, the state GOP websites, press releases, and data from The Green Papers<\/a>. We particularly want to acknowledge The Green Papers, for their work in bringing all of the state allocation models\u00a0used for our calculations, into one easy place to access.<\/em><\/p>\nFollow us on social media
