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:
Trump for the people !!!!!
YOU WANT TO SEE VIOLENCE THEN YOU WILL SEE VIOLENCE!!! THIS IS NOT YOUR CALL THE PEOPLE WILL DECIDE!!!!!!! THIS IS “EXACTLY WHY WE WANT TRUMP WERE SICK OF YOUR CORRUPT$#%&!@*RNC!!!!!!
It’s going to be a landslide, they can;t do it this time.
that will end all of the RINO’s careers in politics. I have had enough of the GOP RINO’s b******t. been trying to get my friends to vote them out now they might get why.
Do that and the whole country will rebel. More dirty tricks to try and keep their pockets lined. This is B.S.
All I have seen today on my facebook page is people saying after last nights riots in Chicago they realized how easily that freedom of speech can be changed and they are switching thier votes from Cruz to Trump because if the evil elites can do that to him so easily then they can do that to everyone else.
Move on needs to move out.
move on needs to move out. Satan’s hands
If you wanna see rioting….wait for the RNC to subvert the populous vote and give the nomination to someone else. The people are speaking more and more every day. The RNC is as manipulative as the DNC. Very divisive concept not to let the people’s choice rule the day. Reince Preibus…..don’t be a$#%&!@*and let this happen.
They are looking for a REVOLUTION !!!!!!!!!!!
