Scholars: Even Speed Bump in Indiana Can’t Stop Trump Steamroller

A dispassionate analysis of the hard-fought contest to win Indiana’s Republican presidential primary reveals that even losing the state will not do much to halt Donald Trump’s path to the GOP nomination.

Trump has a 97 percent chance of winning enough delegates to capture the GOP nomination on the first ballot even if he loses Indiana, according to the Princeton Election Consortium, a collection of scholars who have analyzed poll results.

If Trump wins in Indiana, the group said the probability that he hits the magic number of 1,237 delegates increases to 98 percent.

“Media types want you to get your knickers in a twist about Indiana. However, the data suggests that it doesn’t matter any more,” wrote Sam Wang, author of the recent report on the group’s analysis, which predicts that Trump will run strong enough in New Jersey, West Virginia and California to surpass the goal.

“Rationally speaking, it is probably time to stop writing so much about the Republican race for delegates. Also, may we have a moratorium on ‘brokered-convention’ articles please?”

The analysis comes as polls show conflicting results.
