Trump wins Missouri primary, Haley gets no delegates

Trump wins all 54 Missouri delegates.  This is a caucus, actually a two step process.  Counties get to send a certain number of delegates to the May Republican convention -- looks to be about 900+ statewide.  Members at each county align for listed candidates and also undecideds.  Undecides listen to appeals from candidate supporters, than align with their new preference.  Any candidate getting less than 15% has their supporters asked to select from the remaining.  County delegates are then proportioned according to surviving candidates.
.
With 99% of the statewide delegates reporting, 924 support Trump.  0 support Haley.  It would appear that Haley got less than 15% in any county and therefore is awarded no delegates.  

Missouri is irrelevant. The only thing that matters is Super Tuesday. After that it will be over because Trump will have enough delegates to seal the nomination. Haley will have to fold then.
