Trump's trumpet is about to get louder (as if he weren't already loud enough)!

Donald Trump currently has at least 846 delegates, according to the NBC News tally, and he can still clear the magic number of 1,237 during the primary season. Doing so would prevent the open convention that Ted Cruz and the Stop Trump movement are banking on. Here’s what it would take:
Donald Trump’s path to 1,237 delegates


Chuck Todd did his own analysis that suggests Trump's actual magic number is 1150, because he needs a relatively small number of "unpledged/unbound" delegates in each state that has them to get past 1237. One should not underestimate how strong the dislike of Cruz is within the party establishment.

Here is Trump's path:

He needs to win 90 to 95 of the 118 pledged delegates that are up for grabs in tonight's five states;
He needs about two-thirds of the 54 unbound delegates being elected in Pennsylvania to either be Trump supporters or folks who will support whoever wins their congressional district (i.e., Trump);
And he needs to beat Cruz in Indiana, even if they split the delegate haul.

A well reasoned argument is like a diamond: impervious to corruption and crystal clear - and infinitely rarer.
