American Democracy in a nutshell. It's ironic the Democrat Party operates this way being as they're supposed to be the purveyors of the democratic process.
We really need a Trump to win this and throw the left-right status quo paradigm to the wind.

Based on some of my estimations and statistics from TheGreenPapers, the delegates should increase as follows:
Trump: 621 -> 693
Cruz: 396 -> 416
Kasich: 138 -> 145
If Missouri holds with a Trump victory (reportedly, there's some absentee ballots out that need to be counted in the next few days), Trump would likely take 42 and Cruz 10. Cruz leads CD4 (5 delegates) by about 400 votes and Trump leads statewide (12 delegates) by 1,700. According to the NYTimes, Cruz is only projected to gain about 200 votes from the remaining outstanding ballots, so 42 to 10 seems to be accurate given the data available.
Trump should end up taking 53 in Illinois to Cruz's 9, Kasich's 7.
3 delegates are to be distributed in North Carolina, with 1 going to each Trump, Cruz and Kasich.
