Ted Cruz in a HUGE position in Utah

#3

Quote:Utah isn't exactly a good gauge for the rest of the country.
 

However, look at the math.

 

Delegates needed to win nomination - 1237

Delegates available - 946

 

Delegates for Trump - 680

Delegates for Cruz - 424

 

Delegates needed by Trump - 557

Delegates needed by Cruz - 813

 

If Cruz manages to win all of Utah's 40 delegates, that not only leaves the pool of available delegates much lower at 906, but it would also reduce his number of delegates needed to win to 773.  That closes the gap between him and Trump almost ensuring either a contested convention or the slight possibility of a Cruz win outright.

 

I can certainly see the remaining states trending this way.



There are 10 kinds of people in this world.  Those who understand binary and those who don't.
