Jeb raised a lot of money.

Good, after tonight Rubio will have not end of money coming from the RNC and former Jeb! donors, so he and Cruz can beat each other silly spending other people’s money to see who can win second place by a point or two. Meanwhile Trump will run the table and put this thing away.

Jeb’s last name is Bush. That was a non-starter at any price.

100% correct

Trump would beat either of them head-to-head, but the whole thing will happen faster as a 3-way contest. Especially once the winner-take-all contests come around.

Trump has the only campaign that isn’t tone deaf to the energized electorate. The fact that Cruz and Rubio camps are now bragging about who sucked in more fatcat donors is only going to help Trump.

Keep going after the Cruz supporters with a hammer. Because obviously Trump won’t need us come election day.

Come Super Tuesday, a week from now, how much money Rubio or Cruz have or doesn’t have won’t make a difference, because Trump is going to win most, if not all of the contests. After Trump wins big on Super Tuesday, Rubio may very well have to drop out having not won a single contest. Cruz may also have to drop out, because he will probably only eek out a very slim victory in his home state, and who is going to keep donating to and voting for the guy who gives great 3rd place finisher speeches?

The RNC has already asked Kasich to bow out to help Rubio. After tonight they will demand he bow out. K is losing to Trump in Ohio.

No doubt Trump polls will go up.

Hard money is how you pay for staff and ground game. Everybody needs it.

But the big pac money will now line up with Rubio and he'll have enough hard money to continue.

It will be an interesting debate on Thursday. Both Rubio and Cruz needs to eliminate the other.

And figure out a way to win a state.

Cruz has won a state, Rubio has not.

"Keep going after the Cruz supporters with a hammer. Because obviously Trump won't need us come election day."

No, he won't. You may not personally have participated in it and you may not have read the threads, so if this doesn't apply, feel free to ignore. You know if it applies to you:

After the juvenile name calling against all Trump supporters over the past 3 months, frankly, those Cruz supporters can and should go vote for Hillary or Bernie. I'd rather oppose them than have them on my team. You'll detract from Trump by being on his side, just as you detracted from Cruz's support.

If you want to to argue against Trump with reasoned criticism matched by equal scrutiny of whomever you support, be my guest. But if not, please, yes, vote for Clinton or Sanders, twice even. Your numbers aren't going to have an impact. We don't need you, Trump doesn't need you.

You're threatening to not support Trump if his supporters don't agree to your ransom to be nice to you. As one man would say, 'sad.'

They’re leaning on Cruz now too. Of course Cruz is telling them to take a hike...

Cruz is in this thing till at least Super Tuesday... But remember campaigns don’t end, they run out of cash, and Cruz still has a lot of that, and shortly Rubio will be cash rich as well.

And of course there’s Trump... The most efficient, cost effective campaign I have EVER seen.
