13009475, seems you're oversimplifying the process Posted by philpot, Fri Apr-22-16 12:09 AM
Based on some quick reading it appears the reps from each state vote as a delegation
Now most states have more republican reps but each state has only one vote and several states are on the borderline where turning a republican or 2 could swing that state to a dem candidate and, as many of us are aware despite our desire to oversimplify this election into "elect Hillary or die by the hand of Trump", if Trump/Hill/Bern were the top 3 electoral vote getters many establishment republicans would likely be favorable to a neo-liberal like Hillary over Trump who is widely disliked by establishment republicans
So your foregone conclusion is shortsighted & apparently very simplistic
