If so and Slappy the Dummy pulls an upset and gets all those delegates.....brokered convention?
Come on, brokered convention!

(17,862 posts)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.

(17,862 posts)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.

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