GOP Primary Standings, 2/22

(Author’s note: to understand the complexity of Republican delegate projections, click here.)

Just like with the Democrats earlier today, it’s time to update the Republican primary standings. As explained in the last post, there can be competing estimates for the GOP, although these aren’t nearly as divergent as projections for the Democrats, whose annoying superdelegates really muddy the waters. This early in the process, we still see Republican estimates largely in agreement. I expect some divergence in March. Anyway, here are the:
