You realize that you post opinion from a website that has previously said that Trump has a 2% chance of winning the nomination?

The math in my OP speaks for itself.

Which of those states in my OP do you think Trump is going to lose?

Exactly and they are setting it up already by choosing delegates. There will be an implosion happening in this board if it goes to a contested convention.

Except of course, it's not going to happen. Trump has an easy path to scoring the delegates he needs.

Tell me which of the states in my OP that Trump won't win. You guys keep saying stuff such as this, but you won't actually address the OP.

I'm sorry, I must have missed the part where Reince Preibus announced that Mr. Trump won the GOP nomination in Cleveland.

Here you can look at this, a compilation of what experts think: Will Trump Clinch The GOP Nomination Before The Convention? | FiveThirtyEight

Note that "winner take all/most" states include states that award delegates on a "winner take all" basis for each congressional district and a small amount for winning the entire state. It's not that simple.

First of all Trump already has 59 and not 58 so whatever tripe you've posted is in error.

Secondly there are another 7 still to be awarded from AS. So trump could get more still.

How Silly. But you do post, as fact, projections from a website that previously projected that Trump had a 2% chance to win.

I've taken that into account in my OP. You still haven't addressed it.

We have actual results. It is called 750+ delegates but you always want to see the next result.
