Trump campaign projects 1,400 delegates at convention: report Why, because the delegates know that if Trump is not nominated, he will run as an Independent and Clinton will then win. The delegates know this even if the GOP in charge is too stupid to understand.
The end..................
and the beginning of a great again nation. Trump in 2016
I'm going to explain something to you.
It's called "math."
You will probably find this difficult, so I'll go slow.
Trump has 845 delegates. To win 1400 delegates, Trump has to win 555 delegates. This is called "subtraction." I'll show you;
1400 - 845 = 555.
How many delegates remain?
674.
This means that Trump has to win 82% of the remaining delegates. You can figure this out by something called "division."
555 / 674 = 0.82 x 100 = 82%.
But Trump has won 47% of the delegates with 73% of the vote done.
Now, there is this thing in math called "probability." This is too complicated for this thread, so let's just say that the probability of a candidate who has won 47% of the delegates with 73% of the vote done winning 82% of the remaining vote is very low.
I hope this helps.
