So now that the race is down to basically 2 candidates you think because Trump can get a higher percentage that is some how a achievement? Trump still has only gotten about a third of the vote.

You may see it as speculation but the polls noted in the article prove that it is not. Where are the poles proving otherwise?

It is really down to a one man race. After April 26, only Trump will have a path to 1,237. Cruz and Kasich will have no mathematical shot at the number. Right now, Trump must win 60% of the remaining delegates while Cruz must win 90%.

Trump has won 37% of the popular vote compared to 28% for Cruz. 9% is almost landslide proportions and the percentage will grow significantly after Tuesday.

In 2008 McCain became the presumptive nominee of the party with only 33% of the vote. Romney dropped out after FL and Cruz should have as well. Cruz is just a vehicle along with Kasich for the GOPe stop Trump movement.
