The pressure is on Rubio and Kasich to stay in through their respective home states.

RNC has some idea they can keep Trump or Cruz from taking these winner take all states.

That’s campaign cash, he has many tens of millions in SuperPACs.

I saw someone post this...and I really shouldn't but I could not help a big ole LOL.

Trump called it, "Little Marco."

Having said that...Marco would still be a far better choice than Hillary or Sanders.

But it is just not going to happen and whether he is willing to admit it or not...it was his willful decision to renig on his campaign commitments and join in with the gang of eight that did it to him.

Choices have consequences.

Cruz’ margin is Idaho is larger than Trump’s in MS or MI.

Mormons...that's all.

Trump will be able to pull away from the remnants of the last GOP establishment choice, Kasich, simply based on the money situation.

Did you see that Neil Bush, W's brother (Fredo?), has been hired by the Cruz campaign to run their finances? If you don't think they GOPe is going to fully get behind Cruz with a ton of money, you might be missing something.

They want a brokered convention, and will use Cruz to do it; they aren't done when Kasich fails.

It will take some time for those PACs to re-tool and start to support Kasich instead of Rubio. And that is time they don’t have at this point.

They have 7 days until 367 delegates go up for grabs. 14 days until another 107. Counting all of the small contests between, there will be 511 delegates won or lost in that time frame.

The PACs will need to be moving tonight to have a chance to cut ads, buy air time, and consolidate a message that melds with Kasich’s in that time-frame. All without contact with Kasich’s team.

Possible? Yes. But Kasich will be on his on for the next two weeks, and he is out of hard money to make an impact outside of Ohio.

Both Rubio and Kasich are done...might as well stick forks in ‘em.

IMHO, any PACS o other donors holding on to some kind of campaign to support them is simply throwing money down rat holes.

Answer me this: Will the GOP establishment give Cruz the nomination if there is a brokered convention?

If not, why would he help them give the nomination to someone who else?

It makes no sense whatsoever for Cruz to be working for people who despise him, for people like Lindsay Graham who just two weeks ago joked about killing Cruz on the Senate floor.

Cruz will release his delegates and endorse Trump when Trump names Cruz his running mate. And then Cruz will owe the establishment nothing.

Well, yeah. Cruz has well financed PACs as well. He is in it for the long haul.

Cruz is a big fish in a small pond.

He can only go to heavily red caucus states.

OR rely on the Rubio-Katich tag-team to hold Trump down enough that Cruz makes it "look" close.

The missing element in the calculus,is how many of those voting "really" want their guy to win, vs. how many GOP-e lackeys spitefully trying to deny Trump what is by now obviously rightfully his.

Any normal, honest, non-corrupt human would have dropped out by now if they were Rubio or Kasich: what % do either of them have to pull, from here on out, to win the nomination?

The bigger question for Cruz supporters is: Now that Neil Bush is a big part of the campaign finance scene in the Cruz campaign, what are you going to do when the GOPe funnels all their monstrous money amounts and support (including the lefties from Apple and Google) to Cruz? Will you be happy or sad?

One thing is for sure...this will be a much different race once Rubio and Kasich drop out.

The RNC can’t mingle their money with Cruz’ money. It is against the law. Neil is there to manage the money Cruz raises. This has nothing to do with the RNC. The RNC does not spend money in a primary on candidates...they don’t do that. That would be unfair to the other candidates. Now, others can start Super PACS, but that is not RNC money.
