The Republican nomination in 2016 is not very different than the nomination or 2012. Romney was challenged for the nominee all the way the way to the convention.

Romney had won 37 states with 52 percent of the vote.

Rick Santorum took 11 states with 20 percent of the vote.

Newt Gingrich took 2 states with 14 percent of the vote.

Ron Paul took 11 percent of the vote.

The 2016 nomination will probably take on the same long path to the convention.

The final roll call vote in 2012 was Romney 53 and Ron Paul 3. That is a total of 56 voting delegations. Republicans recognize USA Territories, such as Puerto Rico, as having a vote for the nomination. Puerto Rico is having some sincere fiscal problems, too.
