Right now, Trump is leading in FL and OH. If he wins there, he not only wins ALL of those delegates, but he completely tanks the campaigns of Rubio and Kasich. He’s also leading in TX...which isn’t winner-take-all, but it is a MUST for Cruz to win, and win by a substantial margin. If it is even a close Cruz win, he might as well pack it up.
The also-rans took too long to focus on Trump (they STILL aren’t doing so), trying instead to take the mantle of “I’M the establishment-backed candidate!”), and the mathematics are such that Trump almost MUST win at this point. Almost - there are still a few variables, but each week that goes by makes Trump more and more inevitable.
Which leads to the inevitable question: How are all of these guys going to walk back their incendiary rhetoric regarding Trump, and somehow support him for the good of the Party and the country (not to mention the Veep slot or a cabinet position)?
What is really ironic is that this calendar and the rules were set up to nominate Yeb!
They didn’t count on Trump.
Trump is probably not wrong, but the polls are very suspect.
I don’t want him to pick any of the also-rans as VP.
