It's already over. Trump is the only one who can realistically get to the 1237. The options are Trump or figure it out at the convention.

I still think there is a chance for a brokered convention.

If so, the GOP would knowingly be conceding to the Democrats. I doubt it happens.

That is most likely. If Trump wins FL and not OH, he still needs 59% of the remaining delegates.

If no candidate gets enough delegates, they have no choice, they have to go to a brokered convention.

That would be a contested convention, not necessarily a brokered convention.

Trump wins all but Ohio (Kasich) and Missouri (Cruz)

Sanders wins Missouri and Illinois, and Clinton wins the rest.

I have my doubts about Sanders and Missouri, unless he completely sweeps in St. Louis and Kansas City.

Heard Kilmeade on the radio this morning, he thinks if Kasich takes Ohio, we're going to brokered convention, no ifs ands or buts..

If no one has the necessary delegate count entering the convention - so long as the leader in states won / delegates is the nominee, I have no problem.

However, if they decide to ram down our throats another "establishment" candidate, I will stay home in November.

Given the two leaders in the race as it stands today - American Republicans have sent a pretty clear message they don't want another establishment candidate.

Hillary will landslide win.

There is nearly a zero chance of a brokered convention. If, after the first vote, noone has 1237, then the delegates can change. If the establishment decides to stick it to Cruz and asks the Rubio/Kasich delegates to not back Cruz, then Cruz will make a deal with Trump and they will pool their delegates. Neither of those two guys are going to allow the establishment to win, and they will control all the cards.

Thats why it wont be a brokered convention. The anti-establishment candidates will control 70% or more of the delegates.

So the delegates would vote again before negotiating a deal?

Correct.

I voted today for Trump in my state primary. Basically, a big F U to the GOP leadership. I'm skeptical that Trump will be much different given what we know of the so called reformers sent to Washington in the past, but at least he's an outsider vs the other guys who are career politicians. I seriously thought to pull the lever for Cruz; however, I think his likeability would be his downfall in the general election.

I predict Trump will win all 5 states...

nice job boy genius.....wow, did you come up with that all by yourself?

Goodness Little Marco, RIP your career.

Why aren't they calling Florida both ways? You could literally throw the rest of Hilldawg's votes in the trash, and she'd still win.

Fifteen years later and Florida is still having election issues.

http://www.clickorlando.com/news/politic...ing-places

Quote:Voters in Apopka said they were turned away Tuesday morning because their polling places ran out of Republican ballots.


The polling places are located at Errol Estate and World of Life Church in Apopka, where long lines were visible.

Residents voting at Errol Estates told News 6 that more ballots were retrieved about an hour later, but some voters had to leave because of other commitments.

Quote:Meanwhile, technical issues plagued several Orange County polling locations on Tuesday, prompting officials to use backup paper registries to enroll voters in the Florida presidential primary, according to elections officials.

Orange County Supervisor of Elections Bill Cowles said technicians were sent to the locations to fix the issue, described as a connectivity problem.

Colwes said the problem caused delays, but no voters had to be turned away.

the only thing I can think of Kronke is the Miami vote hasn't been counted much. Rubio up big early there but I'll assume it's all early voting.

big difference when you're the leader of the country vs a legislator or senator....

reagan was the last one of the former.....and he had experience as governor .....was Ike was the last real one....

see the trend that others see?
