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:
VOTE TRUMP,
The American people want Trump. The corrupt establishment want our tax dollars. See how that could work out if we don’t get what we want. Trump 2016!
Go Trump 2016.
RNC will lose if they steal the nomination I will write in Donald J Trump and vote for anyone on the down ticket that’s not a republican .
Everyone is saying how great he is….really? How did he treated Jeb, and now Rubio, Cruz, Carson, Christie, Perry, Carly…he ran off and hit everyone of these contenders with insults, threats, put downs, name calling, accusations, half truths….yet you are saying poor poor trump? Give me a break…he has earned no respect from anyone…he has bought hundreds of thousands of favors…influences…both business and political…of course he is not having to buy anything right now…he is using the media and the people are paying for his media coverage … the others do have to pay out of their own pockets or from their donors…

And the GOP will not only lose all of Trumps voters but they will be giving Hillary the Whitehouse even before the elections.
If they do this they will rue the day as the Republican Party will be no more and many republicans will lose their seats in November. I myself will stay home for the first time ever and not vote.
PRAYING FOR TRUMP…..PRAYING FOR AMERICA!
Keep the votes coming. He needs to get the required number of delegates.
