Keeping Trump from 1,237

My morning has involved a lot of wheel spinning, so far, but if you’re not having as much trouble with ruts as I am, the Wall Street Journal has an interesting interactive tool to compare various scenarios that may or may not bring Donald Trump to the Republican convention with enough delegates to avoid having his plurality prove immaterial.  (In other words, without having the majority consolidate on somebody else.)

The upshot is that Trump could get to the necessary 1,237 delegates, but it will take a strong sweep of the remaining states.  Speaking only for myself, I can only hope that doesn’t happen.  If the race turns out to be Trump-Clinton, I’ll vote for a third-party candidate or not at all (in the race for president).  Being from I-got-mine Rhode Island, my vote doesn’t tend to count for much, but I want no part in bringing either of those two to the White House
