On Tuesday, Donald Trump crushed the opposition, winning 110 of the 119 bound delegates available in the “Acela primary” of northeastern states. Ted Cruz tried to bounce back by naming former Hewlett-Packard CEO Carly Fiorina as his Vice Presidential pick. Cruz is hoping that Fiorina’s roots in California could help him compete better in that state’s crucial June 7 primary. But the Fiorina pick could well assure Donald Trump the GOP nomination.
Donald Trump outperformed by 35 delegates in recent states
There’s no other way to put it: Donald Trump has been on a tear, strongly outperforming projections about his late April delegate count.
On March 21, FiveThirtyEight projected that Trump would gain 71, 31, 19, 10, 16, and 15 bound delegates in New York, Maryland, Connecticut, Rhode Island, Pennsylvania, and Delaware, respectively. Instead, Trump gained 89, 38, 28, 10, 17, and 16, respectively: an outperformance of 35 delegates.

She has a horrible history. Fiorino was the CEO of HP laying off 30K workers while pocketing $23M, parachuting out under her termination. She has been a human wrecking ball to other tech companies. Just on par with Cruz's principles. Yep two peas in a bad pod. Maybe he can take her back to Canada with him when he's tossed out of DC.
Just another sex partner for him.
Cruz is toast.
I still haven't figured out how the delegates work. I do know I'm voting trump 2016.
