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:
Everyone needs to stand with Mr. Trump ,if you care about your family and children , your freedom. God Bless America.
George Soros needs to be shoot between the eyes and drop him dead
if they do ,,he will go third party and we all go with him!!
I like Cruz but if Trump he’s the man to support..if the GOP tries to knock out the person with the most delegates they will lose the white house and more then likley their positions by recall…the greedy bastards…
If the RNC screws up Trump then they will answer to the people.
Trump funded the horrible people, now he’s whipped the lowest of both parties into a frenzy with his hateful rhetoric. What it must be like for him to run a fraudulent campaign posing as a conservative in the republican primary..

That will be the VERY END OF THE REPUBLICAN PARTY if they do that to MR. TRUMP.
