Except statewide numbers are NOT informative, except for those who have no interest in actual delegate counts. The talking heads at CNN keep calling it like a horse race, when it is a completely different kind of competition. Sort of reporting a game of Chess as if it was a checker game.

That's just sickening. I cannot believe how many people are still voting for that racist sexist fascist piece of shit! :roll:

No, it is not. D.Ump got 98 and Kasich 3 with 0 for Crud.

Bile-iary got 139 and Surly Blanders got 106

The GOP formula was like this:

12 delegates if you won statewide by more than 50% (otherwise, the state-wide delegates would have been awarded proportionately.)

The rest of the delegates split 3 per congressional district. If a candidate got over 50% in the district they got all three, if the winner only had a plurality, then they got two and second place got one...

Which is why I have a hard time understanding why Kasich is only being reported as getting three...

If you move your cursor over the NY map on this excellent election map that the NY Times did:

http://www.nytimes.com/elections/results

Kasich won a plurality in Manhattan, but it looks like he held Trump under 50% in more than just one other district...( half a dozen or more)

If you scroll down past the delegate allocation rules, at this site:

http://www.thegreenpapers.com/P16/NY-R

you'll see a vote chart by congressional district that has Trump under 50% in only four districts, with Kasich getting a total of five delegates...(two for the plurality win in Manhattan, and one each for the other three)

It's kind of confusing because the New York Times map had Trump under 50% in additional districts where 100% of the precincts are listed as having been counted... :? :shrug

The Mexican government has announced they have agreed to Donald Trump's proposal that they pay for a wall along the U.S.-Mexican border. Construction will begin in Oregon.

no point if it is ignored by the people who would enjoy it most tho....

so if my truthful tale of American democracy in action, a love story, is desired to be heard...., and if it is requested by popular acclaim..., I will tell it....

...and I will tell it well.
