Quote:From the first line of the chart in your link:


 

2472 (total) - 739 (Trump) - 465 (Cruz) - 166 (Rubio) - 143 (Kasich) = 959 remaining.

 

Hmm... interesting.  I just clicked the link and it shows the following (the differences are in bold).

 

(1,237 Needed to Win) - 2,472 (total) - 736 (Trump) - 463 (Cruz) - 171 (Rubio) - 143 (Kasich) - that also equals 959.  How Trump lost delegates (3) and how Cruz lost delegates (2) and how Rubio gained delegates (5) is a mystery to me.

 

The other thing not factored in is the delegates held by other candidates out of the race.  Though it's still not enough to get to 959, I just don't understand the math here.  Those delegates are not still available as far as I know.  You also have the delegates that are uncommitted (Colorado) but that's only 37 more.

 

If you add up the number of remaining delegates from states yet to hold their primaries (536), the number of remaining delegates is different.  The bottom line is, next Tuesday will be an important primary.  If Cruz somehow pulls off a win, then it's going to mean a certain brokered convention.
