they just allocated all of DCs to Trump as well even though Trump did not win the State. The bound delegates and percent for DC are as follows;

Ted Cruz 19 delegates
41.5%
Donald Trump
33.5%
Marco Rubio
19%

Whips are now telling delegations they can just cast all their votes for Trump, no matter who they are pledged to. How's that for the will of the primary voters?

 By the way: Told you so.


 Follow up prediction: Any vote cast for Trump, that was pledged to someone else, will be recorded for Trump with no resistance from the stage. Any vote cast for someone other than Trump that wasn't pledged to Trump will at some point be recorded as a vote for Trump.

I thought they just had a big rules fight to say that delegates couldn't do that...
I guess they can't do that unless it is the crowned establishment candidate.

How did Trump get all of California's delegate votes? Anyone know?

He won the most votes? Just a guess.

After the opening benediction by Drew Carey and the solemn singing of "Cleveland Rocks"... the real business of shafting the conservatives will begin.

Why is the censored and totalitarian thread called the "official" thread? That makes it sound like the official position of the board is to ban and remove the anti-Trump posts.

The policeman/guard/owner of the "official" thread doesn't want anyone here except Trump lovers.  I base that on her caustic comments when FR people would sign up and post.  This is a split forum.  Like you, I have friends here, so that person and several others are on Ignore.  I contributed money, will rethink that for the future - second class citizen is not popular on my list to be.

I heard that!  I thought I had misheard it.  How does that work?

they just had a rules fight that said delegates couldn't do this... apparently they can't depending on the candidate.

Maybe they've just decided to go full North Korea and give Trump 100% of the votes?   :shrug:

You got it wrong. We're a better class of losers! :beer:
“The way I see it, every time a man gets up in the morning he starts his life over. Sure, the bills are there to pay, and the job is there to do, but you don't have to stay in a pattern. You can always start over, saddle a fresh horse and take another trail.” ― Louis L'Amour

They are claiming Iowa has all 30 bound to Trump yet that's not what their votes were (all of my numbers per AP)

Cruz- 27.6% 8
Trump- 24.3% 7

(rest for the others, but they allocated all for Trump even though he didn't win)

The alternative is that she actually plagarized My Little Pony. Maybe Trump is secretly a brony?

Hah! Yes I did see that.

I can't watch but that is indeed what is happening.

Maine has 12 bound to Cruz, 9 bond to Trump.
Let's see how this goes.

Am I the only one a bit creeped out about the whole 'we love you...' storyline?  Embracing government too much.
