MOSCOW (Sputnik) — On Tuesday, Trump won five primary elections in the US states of Delaware, Maryland, Pennsylvania, Connecticut and Rhode Island, winning more than half of the Republican vote in each one.
We are now at 1001 delegates. We will win on the first ballot and are not wasting time and effort on other ballots because system is rigged!

Trump needs 1,237 delegates to guarantee his nomination at the Republican National Convention in Cleveland, Ohio in July.
