Especially Trump's VP.
Ryan wants his policy agenda adopted by trump - that's the game of poker that's being played right now. Ryan's problem is - how do you get a candidate like trump to actually commit to anything?
He'll do one thing, say another, do another, etc etc.0 -
Everything's up to date in Kansas City...Speedy said:Kansas City has now gone for Cruz.

MO overall moving a little further to Trump.0

Well Trump does need a policy platform - other than building a wall, banning all Muslims from entering the US and 'doing better deals' - so he needs to find someone to helpPong said:

Greene County is all in, unfortunately for Cruz, as is most of the SW. MO should be Trump's now.0

Clinton still over 50000 ahead in Illinois despite her margin down to 4%. Her Ohio win does not look quite so stonking as it appeared earlier - now leading 56 to 43.0

He knows he can't get to 1237 and doesn't really seem to be willing to fight. Where is the real drive to want to lead the US of A?0 -
Cruz needs to be 2.4% ahead in the last 11%.0

Boone and St.Charles have almost finished now.0

Maybe Trump will have a more efficient distribution, giving him more CD delegates, even if Cruz 'wins'.
GP (although behind in the count) is pointing to that scenario.

Missouri Delegates:
Statewide
Almost certainly Trump I think
At least 4 CDs
So he has at least 32 delegates from Missouri, possibly 37. Could be 42/0 -

Mathematically, Trump Is On Pace To Erase His Ohio Loss
Guess what? Trump could make up for all 66 delegates he lost in Ohio with huge delegate margins in Illinois and Missouri. In Missouri, Trump is clinging to a lead of just 2,400 votes, but IF things continue as they are, Trump will capture 47 of Missouri’s delegates to just five for Cruz. And in Illinois, where Trump is winning about 40 percent of the vote, he could win all but a handful of congressional districts, giving him perhaps 60 of the state’s 69 delegates. Wow.0 -
