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:
and most people will drop the party, go independent next time where their vote may count more.
Ass wipes
If they steal it away with the brokered convention they will lose for sure and Trump will run as an Independent, in fact I would advise him to do so now and leave these chumps without their front runner. If Trump can beat them clown on the Republican ticket he can easily beat them as an independent.
Preston Kriel…..Again, I love this Post…..so few words to “say it all”….. 🙂
AMERICA NEEDS TRUMP…..Trump for President….Make America Great Again.
The people would flip out they better rethink this illegal stunt
there will be a revolt you won’t believe. GO TRUMP.
Does that mean you laughed your face off?? That’s because Trump is a whole lot smarter….Can’t fix stupid!!
If he gets in their free ride is going to stop. They will not get rich in government anymore. They do not want it to change, they are getting filthy rich. They steal, pocket so much money, and all this will stop.
They cannot have that, and will stop at nothing too keep this from happening. Wake up people, it’s only obvious why everyone is against him.
ELECT TO PROTECT! TRUMP 2016!
