Amid the incessant talk of Trump “inevitability,” voters’ verdicts seem to be telling a rather different story. For the week including “Super Tuesday” and “Super Saturday,” Donald Trump won 300 delegates (40 percent of the 750 delegates allotted across those 15 states and Puerto Rico), while Ted Cruz won 283 delegates (38 percent). In other words, Cruz won 94 percent as many delegates during “Super Week” as Trump did.
Marco Rubio won 135 delegates during the week (18 percent of the week’s total), and John Kasich won 29 delegates (4 percent). Ben Carson, now out of the race, won 3 delegates (0.4 percent).
