Anyone know what the break points are for delegate accrual? I know that him getting 58% or so was an important one.

I love Trump speeches. "Yeah, jobs, we're going to be great with jobs. Immigration? We're going to be the best at immigration. Healthcare is going to be so good. Guns? Love 'em. God? Yeah, he's great, isn't he? It's going to be the best." This is all just another gameshow to him and it's amazing to watch.

When you combine official unemployment, people who've fallen off "official unemployment" because they've given up looking for work, and people who only occasionally get work instead of a full-time career... yeah.

It's much worse than most people think, and what makes it even worse is that a huge loving chunk of the economy is predicated upon total bullshit B2B masturbation instead of actual productive work.

paraphrasing

"do you really believe that its 5% unemployment? dont believe that, its probably 20 or 30 percent. the other day i read something that said 42% unemployment. 5%. Do you think we would get this turnout with 5%?"

it was something like that

Yes two states that are 90+ percent white represent all of America.

Most of America is white. If you can win big enough with white people (and hispanics, who tend to care more about the economy than racial identity) you really don't need black votes.

That's certainly one way to interpret it but after reading the context I think it's more meant to be "People wouldn't be coming here if they were happy with the state of the American economy" therefore protectionism and Making America Great Again

25%-30% seems about right. The art of massaging unemployment figures has advanced at a rapid pace.
