Not interested in a circular argument.

BTW per RRO a majority vote is not 50 percent plus 1. It is simply more than half.

There is no circular argument; I think we are in agreement that until September, the GOP nomination simply has not been decided, irrespective of what the MSM would otherwise like for you to believe. Period, the end.

Uhhh, 50 percent + 1 = more than half. Again, we're in agreement. But I don't want to get into a circular argument either.

If 355 votes are cast, 50 percent would be 177.5. The majority would be 178. Using your formula the base would be 177.5 plus 1 equaling 178.5. Rounding up (since you can't have half a person,) the winner would need 179. Elections have been lost because of this misinterpretation.
