MORE RESULTS

Here is my spreadsheet with the latest Trump's delegate counts. Note, at the very bottom, that he is now 81 delegates ahead of my December estimate, which means that he can lose Ohio to John Kasich next Tuesday and still be enough ahead of my estimates to cruise to the nomination.

Bernie narrowly won Michigan, a huge victory that changes nothing. Clinton will win the nomination easily,

UNLESS:  Suppose that in May, Trump is clearly unstoppable and the head-to-head polls begin to show that Clinton is in danger of losing the general election to Trump whereas Bernie crushes Trump.  At that point, it is just barely conceivable that the Democratic super delegates will have second thoughts and consider switching to Bernie.

Just sayin'.

Well his win in Michigan (like his huge win in Nebraska and Maine) could mean the future delegate counts you have, based off of similar polling, are incorrect. No?

What about the following scenario, Dr. Wolff. Say Trump gets a wide majority of the delegates but not enough to pass the threshold number to secure the nomination. After some backroom dealing, the Republicans figure out a way to nominate Cruz, Rubio or Kasich instead. Disaffected, Trump decides to run as an independent. Meanwhile, Bernie loses to Hillary. Do you think Bernie would run as an independent against Hillary, if Trump runs as an independent?

Chris, as I have indicated, I think I underestimated the number of delegates Trump will get. That is why I am still pretty sure that he will win the nomination.

I was talking about Bernie! :)
