Yesterday was yet another “Super” Tuesday and, as usual, RedState has everything you need to know about the rumble (and crumble) in the North East. States that voted yesterday were Connecticut, Delaware, Maryland, Pennsylvania, and Rhode Island. They performed as expected, which is to say poorly. The same two April Fools who won in New York walked away winners again last night, as predicted.
Here we go with our projections.
Connecticut awards 10 delegates as winner-take-all if the winner has over 50% of the vote. The remainder of the delegates are winner take all by congressional district, and course, the three RNC delegates. As a result, all 28 delegates go to Donald Trump, meaning of course zero for anyone else.
Delaware is a winner-take-all state. As a result, all 16 delegates went to Trump.
Maryland’s 14 at-large delegates are awarded winner-take-all, as are the three RNC delegates and the one bonus. The rest are awarded by congressional district. As a result, we project Donald Trump, who won every district, will take all 38 delegates, and Cruz and Kasich, of course, none.
Pennsylvania sends 71 delegates to the convention, but 54 of those delegates are directly elected and are unbound. (This is why the campaigns were handing out flyers with delegate names on them, so that supporters of the various candidates could vote for delegates who were sympathetic to their preferred presidential pick.)
The remaining delegates are winner-take-all, which means Donald Trump has picked up a known, pledged 17 delegates in Pennsylvania, and an as yet unknown number of delegates from the 54 unbound.
Rhode Island’s 19 delegates are assigned proportionally. As a result, Donald Trump gained 11 delegates, while Kasich picked up 5 and Cruz only 3, in both cases their only bound delegates of the night.
[As always, please note this are the best projections based on information available at the time of the posting and are subject to change.]
And now for the big moment: the delegate totals.
The Day: RedState puts the new total delegates to date (for the remaining three) at:
DONALD TRUMP: 957
SEN. TED CRUZ: 562
GOV. JOHN KASICH: 154
Note that this means Kasich is STILL behind Senator Marco Rubio, who has 173 pledged delegates.
Also note that there are 118 unbound, including Pennsylvania’s 54 from today. Unbound does not necessarily mean unknown or no preference.
And finally, do note how many of these delegates were awarded on a winner-take-all basis. That means Trump got a higher share of the delegates than he did of the vote. Surely he and his supporters will complain about how unfair and undemocratic that is, right? Right???
