It’s often been said, in elections, it always comes down to Florida and Ohio.
Usually, this saying is reserved for the general election, as both swing states are key to surpassing the number of electoral votes needed to secure the presidency. This year, however, the drama in Ohio and Florida are coming a lot earlier.
Donald Trump may have more delegates than any other candidate in the race so far, but he’s yet to secure the majority needed in order to secure the nomination outright. Looking forward, two states stand in his way, Ohio and Florida, which just happen to be the homes of Governor John Kasich and Florida Senator Marco Rubio, repectively.
Should he lose those states, as he did in Ted Cruz’s home state of Texas, the math becomes incredibly difficult for Trump. In order to secure the 1,237 delegates necessary to win on the first ballot of the convention, he would have to win about 70% of the remaining delegates.
Considering he hasn’t yet come close to that number, should he lose both states this Tuesday, a brokered convention is all but guaranteed.
This hasn’t been lost on party officials, who see a brokered convention as the last, best hope for stopping Trump from getting the nomination. See what they can do to snatch the nomination from Trump on the next page:
I’m fearful this is the begining of a one world Government. If they take the nomination from Trump with 70 % of the Nation behind him martial Law will have to be enacted. The election will be cancelled & Obama will remain in office as a Dictator.

Trump Explained:
When was the last time you could vote for the ideal candidate? I’m old, and I always voted. I can’t remember ever thinking any were ideal. We always have two choices, usually Tweedledee and Tweedledum. If you didn’t vote for Tweedledee you got Tweedledum. That’s the way it is folks.
Now consider this…… An interesting analogy.
You’ve been on vacation for two weeks, you come home, and your basement is infested with raccoons. Hundreds of rabid, messy, mean, raccoons have overtaken your basement. You want them gone immediately, so you hire a guy. A pro. You don’t care if the guy smells, you need those raccoons gone pronto and he’s the guy to do it! You don’t care if the guy swears, you don’t care if he’s an alcoholic, you don’t care how many times he’s been married, you don’t care if he has plumber’s crack…you simply want those raccoons gone! You want your problem fixed! He’s the guy. He’s the best. Period.
That’s why Trump…. Yes, he’s a bit of an$#%&!@* Yes, he’s an egomaniac, but you don’t care. The country is a mess because politicians are playing games and we are all sick and tired of Tweedledee and Tweedledum choices. The Democrats are killing us, the Republican Party is gutless, liberals don’t have a clue, and illegals are everywhere. You want it all fixed!
You don’t care that Trump is crude, you don’t care that he insults people, you don’t care that he had been friendly with Hillary, you don’t care that he’s been married 3 times, you don’t care that he fights with Megyn Kelly and Rosie O’Donnell, you don’t care that he doesn’t know the name of some Muslim terrorist,…this country is weak, bankrupt, our enemies are making fun of us, we are being invaded by illegal’s, we are becoming a nation of victims where every Tom, Ricardo and Hamid is a special group with special rights to a point where we don’t even recognize the country we were born and raised in; “AND WE JUST WANT IT FIXED”. Trump is the only guy who seems to understand what the people want. You’re sick of politicians, sick of the Democratic Party, the Republican Party, and sick of illegal’s. You just want this thing fixed.
Trump may not be a saint, but no person or company he has ever done business with has come forward and called him corrupt, or hard to do business with. He doesn’t have lobbyist money holding him, and he doesn’t have political correctness restraining him. All you know is that he has been well educated at the university of Pennsylvania business school, seems to have boundless energy, has been very successful, a good negotiator, he has built a lot of things, and he’s not a cowardly, deceitful, professional, politician. And he says he’ll fix it.
You don’t care if the guy has bad hair.
You just want those raccoons gone.
Out of your house!
Now!!!!
THIS MAY BE WHY HE LEADS THE POLLS.
Looks like they want a revolution. If they take the nomination from trump than they are going to feel the people’s anger.
OHIO is effie. most are all DEMY’s.and hard to change. they voted for bummer
It would be nice if he won as an independent. The republican and liberal partys would fall and all those in power now would have to flee the country or face charges for treason
Are they that stupid?
Fire them all if thay do.
All votes should be checked out by a independent dept of the people’s choosing 100 percent with all the dirty politics it’s the only way
