Proportional both total and by Congressional District. Trump and Cruz will split most of the 52 delegates.

Trump will be at around 635 after tonight. About 50% have voted to this point. 1237 to win outright. Many strong Trump states remain (New York, New Jersey).

Ohio would have probably sealed the deal. I think Kasich sees a path in a brokered convention (he is insane). He has to get his total above Cruz to pull that off though, and I don't see it happening.

Kasich could stay in to be the last man standing. I dunno.

but not two. Deny both Trump and Cruz at their peril.

If I was the Republicans I would back Cruz over a plurality winner Trump if he is within 200 votes of Trump. While he is disliked he actually is Mr. Republican. I think on any Republican check sheet he would check all the boxes. He picks Kasich as his VP. Rubio gets a cabinet position. That is the best case scenario for the Republicans.

163 votes with 93% reporting.

Trump won't accept this loss if he loses. Should be cool fireworks between two douches.

if the winner gets at least 50 percent plus one vote. That's not going to happen this election.
