Can Donald Trump Win It All in the Primaries and Prevent a Brokered Convention?

[tgards79]

The math says, yes, it is likely:

1. No.

He will win in a brokered convention.

[Renew Deal]

2. He really needs Wisconsin and PA.

It will be tough without them. He can't afford any big delegate losses.

4. Kasich has been creeping up on him in PA.

5. I think he can beat Kasich in Pennsylvania, but from what I understand a large portion of

their delegates are automatically uncommitted.

Winning Wisconsin against Cruz is going to be his biggest challenge. I am not sure if he realizes that and is willing to spend his money on advertising out there.

6. Right, 54 delegates will be unpledged...

..the most anyone can win in Pa is 17

3. Ironic

If the GOP would reform and give up winner take all states entirely in order to control events with more democracy! Trump will not change or make deals until that point. Even if they think he needs to he would only make one of those condescending moves that means little.

After that point however begins new gameplan of bullying and demands and hitting the populist center on jobs and the economy as the "peace candidate". If he is capable of something like that. Who really knows? He can throw away the script he just beat. The people screaming so righteously now know full well they will be grovelling on the carpet of power or resigned to the fall of the party. Suddenly the Dems will be alone and silenced and likely going quiet if Trump transforms and will get little of the punishing help the GOP has had trying to stop their wild child.

7. Who really knows is right.

But I think he will drag the GOP all the way down, losing the Senate and maybe the House, too.

8. Possible, but...

A lot depends on how the Dump Trump move works..

9. This article just tells you what they need...

...the OP article predicts what is actually going to happen.

10. It also tells you how each is hitting their target

And Trump has fallen behind slightly in the last two rounds of voting.

11. Yes you are right

That is a good feature....
