Estimated Delegate Totals for Saturday:
Cruz 68, Trump 53, Rubio 13, Unbound 11, Kasich 10.
Why unbound? Louisiana has rules that look like they were written by someone who didn't pass common core math requirements. These delegates probably split 8-3 Trump under the rules most states use. The questions are whether Louisiana's math problems violate RNC rules and how that can be addressed. Next Saturday, the state convention takes place and this will likely be discussed. Since there's a tiny chance this could affect the national convention, I'd expect this to be a rather heated debate.
National Estimated Total:
Trump 391, Cruz 304, Rubio 125, Kasich 37, Others 15, Louisiana Unbound (the title of the HBO movie that will be made from next week's state convention) 11.
Chris Christie has officially told his earned delegates to support Trump at the national convention. This brings Trump's estimated total to 391 (yes, that was meant to be a joke at Christie's expense).
Sunday's Contest: Puerto Rico (23 delegates).
This is "winner-take-most," which means it's not clear what the threshold is to earn delegates. It may be a lower ceiling than normal.
In any case, no polls have been taken, and it seems quite likely Rubio will earn all 23 delegates.
