WASHINGTON (AP) - Donald Trump on Thursday reached the number of delegates needed to clinch the Republican nomination for president, completing an unlikely rise that has upended the political landscape and sets the stage for a bitter fall campaign.
Trump was put over the top in the Associated Press delegate count by a small number of the party's unbound delegates who told the AP they would support him at the convention. Among them is Oklahoma GOP chairwoman Pam Pollard.
"I think he has touched a part of our electorate that doesn't like where our country is," Pollard said. "I have no problem supporting Mr. Trump."
It takes 1,237 delegates to win the Republican nomination for president. Trump has reached 1,238. With 303 delegates at stake in five state primaries on June 7, Trump will easily pad his total, avoiding a contested convention in Cleveland in July.

But "they" said it would be going to something called a contested convention, until the leaders got the nominee of their choice. What the voter choose meant nothing. I feel for them and Mr. Ryan (loser). Say it ain't so.....
Trump 2016 !!
On at least a dozen occasions he's promised to add another 10 feet to the height of the wall.That equals 120 feet plus the original planned height.150 feet high maybe?
