April 26 Primary Results Thread (CT, DE, MD, PA, RI)

[kahless]

Trump is way more popular in the suburbs and exurbs than the immediate districts of his Trump towers.

People in the burbs are beginning to experience the costs and effects of the immigrant invasion. Something that piece of $#@! Cruz wants to expand.

[Zippyjuan]

Still early but based on preliminary information, Trump will have 927 delegates which leaves him needing 310 out of 651 yet to be decided (48%). He could have enough for getting the nomination on the first ballot- though it would be exciting to see what happens if he does not.

Connecticut: 16 of 28 delegates
Delaware- 16 of 16 delegates
Maryland- 26 of 38 delegates
Pennsylvania- 17 delegates
Rhode Island- 7 of 19 delegates

That adds to 92 delegates.

[MarcusI]

If you put it the other way around... well Trump won much bigger than expected in terms of percentage, but in terms of delegates its not yet much more - maybe 10 delegates more than expected. Might change though when we get news from PA unbound delegates.

[ProBlue33]

Yeah Kasich beating Cruz in different area's, that is pathetic for Cruz

FHQ just tweeted its 58% of the rest if he gets ~100 delegates today.

I don't know where you got that from, but Trump will get well over 100 delegates tonight.

[MarcusI]

Rhode Island is proportional with only 10% threshold, so Kasich and Cruz are getting some of the very few RI delegates.

Actually Cruz is struggling getting over 10% in RI so far... 10.1% with 48% in

All projections have had him under 1000 after Apr 26. Trump did what he needed to do tonight, the rest of the calendar will be much harder for him.

CNN made a good point, if your a PA delegate and your district voted 75% for Trump, who can vote for somebody else, you are betraying your neighbors you represent if you vote for somebody else as an unbound delegate. If it was 50/50 different story.

Uhh, if Trump continues with 67% in RI he wouldn't sweep the delegates . . . huh ?

As for PA, we won't know how they'll vote at convention until the roll call on July 19 in Cleveland . . . nothing tonight about them, though some pledge their constituents that they'll go with the district winner.

About 2/3 of the delegate candidates say they will vote for whoever wins their district. The rest are hard supporters of Trump or Cruz.

Yes, a person's vote is sacred. It's one of the few things in this world that one can truly count as his own.

It shan't be taken away so easily.

[younglibertarian]

I believe Trump should be the nominee, but I would rather see a contested convention. Would be very entertaining.

[Jan2017]

The fact that Kasich is beating him in most of the states today must be pretty embarrassing for Cruz.

Cruz will be third in another of the original 13 states now - Delaware, with Trump over 60%

Trump has won Delaware, according to A.P.

CANDIDATES	VOTE	PCT.		DELEGATES
Donald J. Trump	40,214	61.1%		16
John Kasich	13,129	19.9		—
Rafael E. Cruz	10,502	16.0		—
Other	1,971	3.0		—

65,816 votes, 96% reporting (301 of 313 precincts)
Winner called by A.P.

The 67% rule only applies to CDs not to at-large delegates in RI

I guess some bloggers like FHQ will have a good amount of info late this night or tomorrow. But yah, basically you are right

[ProBlue33]

As somebody once said delegates are people too, but they go into it because they have passion for it, look at the Ron Paul delegates in 2012.
Ron Paul delegates voted for who they thought would be be best to run the county, generally they were smarter than their contemporariness, we know this.
I would trust a Ron Paul delegate from 2012 if they are again elected in PA to make the correct choice once again.
Newbies just jumping in not so much.

In some way there will be a contested convention anyways as its 100% clear by now that Trump will be nowhere near 50% of the hearts and minds of the delegates even if they are bound to him (which they could change by rules commitee) He has rather 30% or even less.

South Carolina is gonna decide about unbinding all their 50 GOP delegates . . . some would go to 2nd place SC finisher Rubio after all.
They have delegate selection in a couple weeks.

You also said this

Any talk of a contested convention at this point is a pipe dream, delusional, denial.

I agree, I don't think most delegates want a political civil war on the floor of the convention.

At this point if Trump doesn't get the nomination there will be riots in the streets. Even more so if he wins the 1257 and they try to $#@! him out of it.

Like I said - a person's vote is sacred. You don't $#@! with people's votes.

When we have the names of those elected, I can provide a fairly good estimate.

Discontent yes. But riots no. People are far to scared to do that.

[MarcusI]

Wishful thinking.

Hmmm... shall I post some 200 delegate election news now in which you can see how many Trump-bound delegates are Cruz or Kasich supporters?

I myself highly doubt that they will do it - but the fact is there that a convention with a minority of Trump-Fans and a majority of Trump-haters will convene.
