Romney will get the nomination it's over it has always been between Romney and Obama, Paul and his supporters just need to face the reality, and if Paul couldn't carry his own state he had no chance against Obama.
Paul supporters don't have to like it,or agree with it, but that is the way it is.

Mitt Romney has clinched the Republican presidential nomination in the US to face Barack Obama in the November election. On Tuesday night he mathematically secured it with a win in the Texas primary after months on the campaign trail to win over skeptical conservative voters.

You're not getting the point. Romney won Michigan, he got 41% of the vote. Ron Paul got 11%. Ron Paul's supporters stormed the michigan convention and pushed some of those delegates to vote against the wishes of their own constituents, but come convention time most of those delegates will go to Romney inevitably.

The popular vote doesn't matter, why do you think the popular vote doesn't even determine the president in the general election? Your same argument can be made against the electoral college but I bet you only bring it up when it doesn't go in your favor.

The popular vote matters. Of course it does! According to state laws it depends on how the delegates are awarded at the convention. If neither candidate in a state get more than 50% of the popular vote than the delegates become unbound after the third round of voting! It depends state by state though, but no state states that they must win 75% of the popular vote, that's kinda pointless.

Yep, Romney won Texas by more than 70% of the vote. Ron Paul? In his own home state he barely has 11% of the vote:

Did Paul atleast win his district this time? I'll see if I can find the county by county results. In anycase this is reality and it bites for Paul supporters. Romney has won, and no, Paul is not going to be able to turn this around at the convention. It's Romney folks, your GOP nominee!

Actually Romney couldn't carry his own state, Ron Paul got 16 of the 19 delegates. And since the delegate count is what matters, Ron Paul could also win the majority of delegates in Texas as well.

Lol do people seriously think that the delegates are going to vote for ron paul at the convention? Romney has been winning primaries left and right, its pretty obvious that the gop registered voters want him to win the nominatio. I dont think the delegates are going to go against the people.

RP is playing the delegate game. And it may win out for him in the end. Or at least I hope it does.

The results are in and the game is over, finally.
Romney wins by a landslide.
The real contenders dropped out long ago with only a fringe candidate, who was out of money and stopped campaigning, left at the end of the race to lose in his home State. That is how the final step to the magic number will be remembered in history for this election cycle.
1144, Ron Paul no more.
1. The results are not in. The state conventions determine the delegate count, not the popular vote.
2. The game is not over, it is over at the convention.
3. You have no idea how the nomination process works, due to buying the MSM's dumbed-down nomination explanation they gave you.
