    Am I the only one who thinks that looks like Clinton in a pants suit taking the Oath?

    Well, actually, I might stay home this time around.

    Hey, wait a minute! Hmm, maybe I'll go for my PhD if Bernie wins.

    Clinton to jail, Trump to the morgue, Rubio to the not eligible list, Kasich to the who cares list, and Bernie to the OH, NO NOT HIM list. The winner no one, the loser, the US and the world

    Maybe we should give obamo another 4 years to really finish off the country. Just write a EO that he is changing the term limit laws. Who would step up to stop him. People (Dems, Libs, etc.) claim that all the Republicons have done is say no to him.

    Maybe they have on little things, but the big things, they are just as responsible for letting him walk all over them, and letting him get his way. They didn't have the backbone to even protect the powers given to Congress, and let him, and his supreme joke of a court take those powers.

    Still, bravo, ITL. Solid guesswork. :)

    According to CNN Trump has 988 delegates. I was just 13 off. ITL came up shy by 43 or so.

    My head is in a spin...

    Should I flip-flop (Why not - every is) and vote for Trump (assuming it comes to that) to keep Hillary from the presidency (Remember "Two for One"? - two Clintons for one vote).

    No, because most of the Pennsylvania delegates (54 out of 71) are not legally bound to vote for Trump. CNN is doing an educated guess as to how many of the 54 unbound Pennsylvania delegates will actually vote for Trump at the convention. They are saying 35 of these will go to Trump, though they cannot know this at this time. Real Clear Poltics is giving Trump 33. The number of 953 is from the NY Times, who do not assign any of the unpledged delegates to Trump, as it should be.

    I mentioned the problem with the Pennsylvania delegates. Scroll up and read my prediction.

    Anyway, once again you are trying to move the goalposts. You said Trump would have "more than a 1,000 delegates" by this point in time. Even if you assign those PA delegates to Trump, achieving 988 is not "more than 1,000 delegates".

    According to the AP Trump now has 994 delegates.

    You said he'd get between 940-950.

    I had said he'd get more than 1,000 delegates by this time.

    I am seven off in my estimate. You are 49 off.

    I win. ;-)

    Huh?
    Your New York Times chart shows Trump 57%, Cruz 22%, Kasich 19%.
    How could anyone know that?

    My mistake. They are listed on the ballot, but it's a beauty contest, meaning the votes are not binding on delegates.

    ABC News has now said that The Donald has 996 delegates.

    I was just five off in that particular prediction.

    Trump will sail pass 1237 with ease.
