The point of no return is most likely the March 15 contest, which includes critical winner-take-all contests in Ohio and Florida. Nearly 60 percent of the delegates will have been awarded at that point, making it hard to catch Trump if he’s amassed a solid lead.

According to Wang’s estimates, the GOP field likely needs to collapse into a three-man race by March 1 and a two-man race by March 15 for anyone to have much chance of beating Trump within an outright delegate majority.------------------------------->Will keep that date in mind

Republican donors could try to stymie Trump in the meantime with a major outside spending effort, but there’s little sign that any such campaign is coming or whether it would do any good so long as the field is unresolved. “I told donors for six months ‘spend a few million now, or a few hundred million later,’ but they’re apparently OK with destroying the party, and the country,” Rick Wilson, a Republican strategist whose worked with a pro-Rubio super PAC, told msnbc. “We have had lots of interest [from donors], but the candidates are going to have to step up too,” Packer, the Our Principles PAC strategist, said. Nor is it clear Trump can be slowed that way in the first place. Some Republicans are convinced he’s immune to advertising.----------------------------Trump will prevail!!!

Time is over and they lost. I just voted for Mr. Trump, early voting here in TN.

The Ministry Of Propaganda and The Cheap Labor Express are beside themselves.

How could this happen?

They’re not listening when we tell them who to vote for and who not to vote for!

“Katie Packer, who runs the anti-Trump Our Principles PAC,”

This woman is certifiably insane! She has absolutely NO Principles whatasoever! She’s a Romney leftover!

How Donald Trump broke all the rules, and won anyway at NH!

So Trump and his voters won and broke the rules of the conservative plantation masters by voting for Trump in NH.

It is wonderful to see a long standing corrupt political system disintegrating right before our eyes. A system that hates Americans, rewards illegals and those who bring them into America to freeload.

We are seeing a paradigm shift with us selecting our Presidential Candidate instead of the GOPe and DEMe elites who hate us, selecting our candidates.

There is a Black Swan event occurring with the daily suicidal self wrought destruction of the GOPe, Open Border Thugs, DC faux pundits, Faux News, ABCNNBCBS and the left wing fish wraps. Something similar is happening with the DEMes.

Many of us are looking forward to seeing the broken bones, drying blood and entrails of the Lying GOP Open Borders Elite, their DC faux conservative pundits, their mediots, their phoney pollers and focus groups, their hired tv and radio hacks strewn across the primary states as much as our victories in those states.

We have escaped from their faux conservative plantations, and we are not going back for more lies, abuse and mistreatment from our former GOPe masters.

Trump is a fraud. He seems in vague terms and promises the moon. Typical sales tactic of used car salesmen...

How shocking.

The people who run PACs say the only way to save the country is to send them more money.

Likewise, campaign managers for competing campaigns, whose job prospects depend on their candidates winning, are very concerned at the state of the race.

I have GOT to get in on this PAC scam. I wonder how much those guys skim off the top?

I REMEMBER when Hillary and Obama were going at it and the pundits started studying the electoral delegate process and they came to the conclusion that even if Hillary won Texas she would not be able to catch Obama.

Trump may end up with 52 delegate to 15 for Cruz. People see that and mentally that looks like its over....even though its not hardly started.

I saw that debate tonight and I was waiting for Ted Cruz to destroy Trump. It may be that Cruz is accustomed to the order of the Courtroom and not the battleground no holds barred situation of these debates. He better realize these are not college debates, these are a fight to the death over the most important job in the world.

If he wants to win he better go for the kill, negative ads and all.
