    CNN reports that Donald Trump now has 1,002 pledged delegates.
    Rubio is warming up to Trump a bit. He has 167 delegates. Hmmm,I wonder if...

    The Donald has been reported to have 1004 pledged delegates. Am I a good predictor or what?

    Regarding Indiana : shocker Trump will win and win and win.

    I predict as soon as Trump wins the nomination we can look forward to the next 5 months of being told he can't defeat Hillary by the same ones who said he never had a chance at the nomination.

    Sure, but first please point out who said Trump never had a chance at the nomination.

    I've been saying he'd not have enough delegates to win on the first round of voting at the convention.

    I'm having the last here ITL.
    Reality check --he had 1,004 pledged delegates at that time.
    You really underestimated Trump. As of now he already has 1,160 according to Politico.
    It remains to be seen. But I had predicted 290 or so on that date.
    On the contrary, this will peg him at about 200 more delegates than is necessary to win the nomination.
    But you have been so far off with your flawed data.
    Would you like to eat your hat with, or without salt?
    You didn't intend it so, but my predictions have paid off --not so yours my friend.

    And I had said with my April 20th prediction : 1,147. I underestimated Trump --you REALLY underestimated him.

    And I had said he's get 290 which would put him about 200 delegates past the required 1,237.
    Ha,ha,ha.
    They are both proportional. Trmp picked up about 59 delegates with those two states.

    Now he has 1,229 delegates --just 8 away from 1,237! Yippee!
    Yeah, he'll get a grand total of around 1,400 fer sure! Ha,ha. Yes, I'm gloating.

    Be careful about gloating.

    He has California, New Jersey, New Mexico, Montana and South Dakota to go.
    Pretty certain it's "in the bag".

    However...

    So out of the remaining five states you think I should be cautious about any certainty
    that he will pick up eight more delegates! Ha,ha,Ha.

    That should be the least of your worries. It's the " Sneeky Pete" plot the RINOs, NEO-Cons and Establishment mafioso are incubating in order to disqualify him even though he has a majority delegate vote you should be concerned about.

    Well, right now Trump has 1,239 delegates and it's not even June!

    Rubio has 359 delegates he wants to turn over to Trump. All of this and we haven't
    even gotten to June 7.

    Well, its still possible that the establishment may try a "fast one" to steal it from him.

    No the establishment picked him granted he was their third choice but he was still their choice. For the 3rd time in a row the GOP voters let the media and the establishment pick their candidate for them. #NEVERTRUMP

    You're making up a whole new definition of the word "establishment." Listen, by June 7th more than 12 million will have voted for Trump. These are rank and file Americans who are sick and tired of business as usual that the Democrats and Republicans have been up to for decades. These are not the old guard elites.

    Your "Never Trump" thingie will not get off the ground. You need to face facts. Hook up with reality. The real movement is with Trump. If you're not with Trump you support H.C.

    No I have no reason to abandon my principles to vote for a democrat. I am one of the 15 million people who voted against Trump. 12 is less than 15 BTW.
    And no I'm not making up a new meaning of the word.
    Golfing buddies with Behoner check
    Friends with the Clinton's check
    Gave money to wield political influence check.
    The establishment made it clear sailing for him once the antiestablishment candidate dropped out check.
    Sorry you don't get to be more establishment than that. He is the Crony side of Crony Capitalism which make up all of the establishment people are angry at.
    Don't complain to me when the train takes you someplace you don't want to go. You got in it you will have to deal with the consequences.
    As for me I'm resigned to the fact that no matter what a liberal democrat/Democrat/socialist (Trump Clinton or Sanderd) will be in the white hourselves. There is nothing I can do to change that, but I van vote my principles and send a message to the GOPe that my vote can no longer be taken for granted. My conscience is clear.

    I posted the above on April 21,2016. On June 7 he raked in 299 more delegates. Just nine off --pretty good huh?

    The Donald has a grand total of 1,536 delegates. He has gone over the top by 299 --not just 200 or so. Never underestimate the Trumpster!

    Trump has significantly more skill at brow beating than our potential first woman president.
    Trump has a much better rhetoric delivery method than the screech, scream and shout of Hillary.

    I predict he will bury her in the upcoming debates and campaigning spats and surge ahead in the polls.

    Although an unknown variable in the equation is the Bern votes. How many will go to Trump when he bows out.

    Another although : IMO an RNC coup d'etat is still a definite possibility then Hillary or Bernie wins (A lesson nobody ever seems to learn - it's called Divide and Conquer).
