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:
It’s their election, not ours. Sad day for America.
Let the people vote.

Conservatives trust Donald Trump more than Ted Cruz according to a real poll by Fed Up PAC. A plurality of 48% of conservatives say Trump is more honest than Cruz, while 38% give Rubio a higher rating then Cruz. Trump’s attacks on Cruz as a liar appear to have had a lot effect except among Cruz’s own voters. There is strong support for having Cruz produce His American Birthcertificate.
Geo. Soros is a Hungarian Jew that Russia ran out of their country for being a trouble maker. Its a damn shame this country won’t do the same thing. I doubt very much he is a citizen of the U.S.of A.
The RNC wants a Civil War! They want their 3rd term…UMM President.
Trump is a power hungry narcissistic blowhard. His name is a brand that is for sale. His reality tv campaign is embarrassing.. He hasn’t said anything worth a$#%&!@*yet since he entered the race..
If you think Donald Trump is smarter than Ted Cruz I would recommend you get a cat scan.. again frontal lobe damage is not fixable.
We must back Trump 100%
If it does go to a brokered convention. Nothing good will come of it.
Our votes won’t count.
Civil war is on the horizon.
Arm up America.
Better not. Vote Trump
