50% - New York Primary

[Sheldon]

A) Does Trump get over this number Tuesday?

 

B) Does Hillary get over this number Tuesday?

[fool]

Don't think neither will. The GOP establishment will do something to slow down Trump. Hillary would still win but will not get that much delegates.

[Sheldon]

Ooooh. I think I'm exactly opposite.

 

I see both ending up over 50%, and would wager Trump hits 55-57%.

[fool]

Huh?

How did you do your math?

For Democratic, 50+% would be 2,383 delegates.

New York only has 291 delegates.

Hillary current delegates are: 1,758 delegates.

[fool]

Are you talking about 50% in New York primary alone?

Highly unlikely though considering the poll.

Yeah, that's why I have "Tuesday" in the question.

 

That's when they vote there.

[Sheldon]

I've edited the thread title, my apologies.

The 50% mark is kinda misplaced for democratic primary since only two candidates are available. But I also think Hillary will win by 60-40 at max, since you have to register yourself as Democrat all the way back in October to participate in the primary. That's a ton of independent voices Bernie already lost.

Yes. I think they both clear 50 percent of the delegates for NY. I'd guess 55 for each.
