It’s often been said, in elections, it always comes down to Florida and Ohio.
Usually, this saying is reserved for the general election, as both swing states are key to surpassing the number of electoral votes needed to secure the presidency. This year, however, the drama in Ohio and Florida are coming a lot earlier.
Donald Trump may have more delegates than any other candidate in the race so far, but he’s yet to secure the majority needed in order to secure the nomination outright. Looking forward, two states stand in his way, Ohio and Florida, which just happen to be the homes of Governor John Kasich and Florida Senator Marco Rubio, repectively.
Should he lose those states, as he did in Ted Cruz’s home state of Texas, the math becomes incredibly difficult for Trump. In order to secure the 1,237 delegates necessary to win on the first ballot of the convention, he would have to win about 70% of the remaining delegates.
Considering he hasn’t yet come close to that number, should he lose both states this Tuesday, a brokered convention is all but guaranteed.
This hasn’t been lost on party officials, who see a brokered convention as the last, best hope for stopping Trump from getting the nomination. See what they can do to snatch the nomination from Trump on the next page:
One sure way to destroy what is left of the republician party.
DEATH TO MOVE ON.ORG….
If there is a brokered convention in this country because of the Donald we the Patriots of this country are going to show you how much we have fallen asleep to the petty b******* of all the GOP in the Democratic bulshit who ride trains for free you ride the Donald strain for free because you’re looking to say and feel what you do now we’ve been asleep for a long time but that’s it the train ride will end when Donald is our president the rest of you better scatter like little roaches cuz we’ve got an extermination Crew looking for you
I hope not or you will have a civil war on your hands and I bet Trump runs Independent.
Obama wants social chaos to declare martial law !!
So his black$#%&!@*stays prez.
Kelley – It doesn’t surprise me one bit. They want Hillary who should be in jail for treason and murder. I advise to all go see 13 Hours. I was so ticked off when I left the theater to think she could do something like this and get away with it. I do wish they would have told the truth about our Ambassador. He was raped, cut, tortured and then his throat slit while this$#%&!@*didn’t want to answer her phone. I can’t wait until Karma bites her in the$#%&!@* I hope Trump gets in to just go after this low life person.
It’s bad enough having George Soros and his liberal friends, but having the old Republican Party$#%&!@*you too. I don’t like Trump. I thought Kasich was the best man, but we have to honor the voters wishes, like it or not.
TRUMP LL THE WAY
Should the rnc do that, we the people will see an end to the republican party! The silent majority will not be denied and we will elect Donald Trump as president in spite of the rnc.
This is all blah, blah if he hits 1237
