Cruz: Texas
Rubio: 0
Kasich: 0
Carson: 0

Delegate Total

Cruz: 200

Kasich: 16
Carson: 6

Explanation

These numbers, unlike those on the Democratic side, can shift a lot. The result to watch is the thresholds. Alabama, Georgia, Tennessee and Texas all have statewide threshold of 20%. Cruz and Rubio are flirting with missing cutoffs in a few places. At the moment, it looks like Rubio will fall below threshold in Texas. It is incredibly close. He is at 17.6% in the polling average and he seems to have a down arrow in the state. Cruz is at risk in Alabama, Georgia, and Tennessee but we think he gets there. If anyone misses threshold in any state, it gives more delegates to other two who reached threshold.

Rubio beats Cruz for delegates outside of Texas, but Texas is a huge haul for Cruz. There are also going to be a lot of close races for second place and delegates in a number of districts.[Thresholds can be missed here too, in which cases delegates go to Trump. These numbers can swing a bit back and forth.  But overall it’s looking like a good night for Trump.

The Scorecard

The Scorecard is a political strategy and analysis blog. Our hope is to provide information and insight that can be found nowhere else into how and why things are happening in American politics. Unlike many political pundits, we will tell you who we think is going to win as an election approaches; we will tell you why; and we will give you a sense of our level of confidence. Ours is a holistic approach, one that takes in as many numbers as possible but is also willing to look past the numbers if need be. When we turn out to have been wrong, we will let you know. When we are right, we’ll let you know that too.
