Donald Trump Clinches Nomination with 1,238 Delegates


Trump is the Republican candidate for president, securing the nomination with 1,238 delegates on Thursday, May 26, 2016.  Whether one is a HUGE fan or person who cannot stand the idea of Trump as president, this is indeed an “only in America” moment.

It takes 1,237 delegates to win the Republican nomination. Trump has reached 1,238. With 303 delegates at stake in five state primaries on June 7, Trump will easily pad his total, avoiding a contested convention in Cleveland.

Trump was put over the top in the AP delegate count by a small number of the party’s unbound delegates who told the AP they would support him at the national convention in July. Among them was Oklahoma GOP chairwoman Pam Pollard.

 “I think he has touched a part of our electorate that doesn’t like where our country is,” Pollard said. “I have no problem supporting Mr. Trump.”
The left hates Trump, the Bern-outs demonstrate like violent anarchists outside his events. The establishment on the right is scared to death over his nomination.  Yet, his form of campaigning, shooting from the hip, telling it like it is, without the politically correct police bleeping out what so many in America think, has paved the way for him to go head-to-head with Hillary, or perhaps Bernie, over the next few months.
