Winner-take-all primaries start on March 15. Chances of the winner not being determined by the time of the convention are almost zero.
Carson’s delegate count will be unimportant if not forgotten by convention time.

I agree with you on Carson, but I doubt he gets more than a handful of delgates. What does worry me are the Superdelegates, which account for something like 20% of the overall delegates. I don’t think it would surprise any of us to see them vote as a block against Trump....so Trump has to win over 60% of the remainder (i.e., the ones we’re voting for) for them to not be able to stop him. He should be able to still do that, but the hurdle is definitely higher.
