Despite what the media wants you to believe, the delegate count in the Republican primary is quite close. Co-host Stu Burguire broke down the numbers Thursday on The Glenn Beck Program, playing the coulda-woulda-shoulda game to show the difference a single state can make.
Here's how things currently stand:
Current Total Delegate Count
Donald Trump: 319
Ted Cruz: 226
Marco Rubio: 110
John Kasich: 25
So, just for grins (or complete frustration), let's pretend one state voted differently. What would the impact have been?
“This is going to infuriate you. And I'm calling out South Carolina specifically,” Stu said. “If you were in South Carolina and you were thinking to yourself, 'Oh, I'm going to go out for Ted Cruz, but maybe I won't make it, maybe I won't make those additional phone calls,' think about this for just a second. We were talking about this being a runaway election for Donald Trump. He's way ahead. Again, Donald Trump won South Carolina. You can't take it away from him. But if Ted Cruz had won South Carolina, what would this picture look like?”
Total Delegate Count if Cruz Had Won South Carolina
Ted Cruz: 276
Donald Trump: 269
Marco Rubio: 110
John Kasich: 25
“South Carolina, you're dead to me. You're dead to me,” Glenn said, jokingly.
This is proof positive that the race for the Republican nomination is far from over. Just one state --- one vote --- can make the difference.
"Just know this," Co-host Pat chimed in, "Kansas, Nebraska, you're on our watch list right now."
With primaries this Saturday and more in the coming weeks, don’t buy into the media hype. Learn from South Carolina. Every vote counts.
