    I'm not so sure about that, but it is certain that Cruz has lost. Time to hang it up.

    It's not hard to figure. Trump gets about 35%-40% of the GOP primary voters. Doesn't matter if there are 16 candidates or 3 candidates. He's peaked. He needs to get 60%. Not gonna happen.

    Cruz got 69.2% of the vote in Utah. Trump has never gotten over 50% of the vote in any state.

    No, Cruz has not lost. Kasich has lost. Trump can never win.

    Utah has turned into Chicago. A lot of mischief was going on there with the votes there. It's Mormon thing.

    Trump needs to get 39% more of the delegates. Cruz needs 62% more.

    Oh my. No wonder you think Trump is waltzing to the nomination. You are proceeding from a false assumption.

    There are 2,472 total delegates.
    A candidate needs 1,237 delegates to win.
    There are 839 delegates remaining.

    Trump currently has 739 delegates. He needs 498 more delegates.
    Cruz has currently 465 delegates. He needs 772 more delegates.

    Trump needs 498 of the 839 delegates remaining, or 59% of them.
    Cruz needs 772 of the 839 delegates remaining, or 92% of them.

    No, he has 10 wins. But wins don't really mean much when there are multiple candidates. Delegate count is the criteria.
