The following is the delegate count to date. NPR suggests that Sanders needs 53% of remaining delegates to prevail by the time of the DNC. Cruz’s battle could even be over before 15 March, given the GOP electorate’s ideological choice between theocratic Dominionism and WWE Trumpmania. Most notable today is former Governator Schwarzenegger’s replacing The Donald on NBC-TV’s The Apprentice and his endorsement of Kasich: “He kicked serious butt in Washington DC”.
