ORIGINAL: Greta75 So now that Trump pretty much sweeped most of the states in Super Tuesday, is he still defeatable? http://www.nytimes.com/elections/results Of course he can be defeated. In the delegate count, he's now at 488. Cruz is at 305. Rubio has 158, and Kasich/Carson sit at 55 combined. If all Rubio's, Kasich's, and Carson's delegates go to Cruz, he's leading 508-488. The GOP candidate has to get 1,237 delegates to win, so Trump is only 40% there. All that says, though, is that the race isn't over yet. By next Wednesday, we'll have had several more primaries, and Trump may be the clear leader, with Kasich and Carson dropping out. By the following Wednesday, I think we'll pretty much know who is going to get the nomination. If he hasn't been overtaken or at least caught up to by then, Trump will likely get the nomination.
