It did not copy correctly, but Trump has one more delegate than needed as of tonight.

WAY less. guess the GOP is not so much better than Democrats after all.

Turns out the unbound delegates of Pennsylvania, and Colorado as well as all the delegates of North Dakota announced they were going with Trump. I guess everyone does like a winner. Trump actually looked a little shocked talking about it yesterday with the delegates standing behind him. Very low key, kinda of like, "what the freak am I going to do now? I cannot believe I won the whole thing"
dj, if you previously said he had 1239 delegates I never saw that, but why were you surprised he had officially been declared the victor if he already had the number? Sorry about California becoming a non starter in the race.
