The Delegate Fight: 2016

This should definitely be stickied btw.

Seconded.

Thirded.

Didn't Cruz win Iowa? How did he end up with one less delegate than Trump?

[PresidentTRUMP]

SC primary is winner takes all, correct? So when trump wins SC he gets all 50 of the delegates?

[PresidentTRUMP]

Even The Green Papers has folded and gone with the weird rounding rules.  With literally everyone saying the weird rounding rules are correct, I'm reluctantly forced to change my call and move a delegate from Trump to Rubio.

Looking at the delegate count on both sides right now really shows how in the grand scheme of things how meaningless NH and Iowa really are.

In Iowa Cruz wins the state and ends up with ONE more delegate than Trump and Rubio.

Trump wins NH in a COMPLETE and utter blow out and ends up with a measly 6 more delegates than Kasich and 7 more than Cruz, Rubio and Bush.

Talk about meaningless.

I believe the official delegate count right now is:

Trump: 81
Rubio: 17
Cruz: 17
Kasich: 6
Carson: 4

I believe you have Rubios totals incorrect for NH and Nevada where you have him with 2 and 7, respectively. While he received 3 and 8 delegates in each state.

Why was Carson removed? He hasn't dropped out yet.
