Trump has more than 50% of the delegates

The dust isn't fully settled, but Trump has 941 pledged delegates. All others have 905. This does not count technically uncommitted PA delegates. Trump needs less than 50% of the remaining delegates. It will be back above 50% if he loses IN badly.

But he was +85 in NY and plus a lot today so it's gone down. Their primaries are either winner-take-all or close to so it's possible to run up the score.

the Republican convention would be better entertainment than any super bowl, world's series, NCAA playoff EVER.
