If this Tuesday is as good as last Tuesday for Trump, it is hard to see how he can be stopped.
Coming out of two consecutive Tuesdays with overwhelming victories, Trump will be able to make three powerful arguments.
First, he is simply going to have the delegates to win the nomination on the first ballot at GOP convention, so all the maneuvering over delegate selection and efforts to put in chameleon delegates who are bound to Trump but are really for another candidate will be irrelevant.
Second, no one else is consolidating votes as the alternative. The gap between Trump’s total popular vote and Cruz’s vote will make it untenable to suggest that Cruz has a greater legitimacy to be the nominee.
Finally, the continuing series of victories will create a bandwagon effect as people decide they want to be with the winner. Trump could easily enter the convention with 1,400 delegates or more as winning attracts those who were on the fence.

Rush may become a Trump backer.
Donald should send Ted a T-shirt and hat.
Cruz is on tv now as speaking as if he will win and be the nominee.
I saw a little bit of that. Bless his heart.
I think Gingrich is making a lot of sense.
I certainly hope and expect Trump to clinch the nomination on the first ballot, all the machinations of Cruz, Kasich, and the GOPe notwithstanding.
If Cruz believes he will win, he's delusional. Cruz has as much of a chance of being the nominee as I do.
He just talks and talks and talks and............
If Cruz believes he will win, he’s delusional. Cruz has as much of a chance of being the nominee as I do.

Correction:
You have more of a chance of winning than Cruz.
Heard a clip of Rush saying that not nominating Trump would destroy the Republican party.
Unless Cruz knows that the GOPe and RNC are planning a rule change to require 1400+ delegates on the FIRST ballot.
Fox just called for Trump in Maryland, Pennsylvania, and Connecticut.
Ought to at least shut Ted up about “winning 5 landslides in a row”.
But it probably won’t.
That was quick. Polls just closed 2 minutes ago.
He needed to say destroying the party as it exists today.
Thank you for your support.
The polls closed at 8:00 pm eastern and at 8:02 pm Fox calls the 3 states for Trump. Wow!
If it is a choice between you and Cruz you have my overwhelming support sight unseen.
Correction! 6 landslides in a row!!!
Newt just said that he thinks Trump hits 1237 before Cailfornia.
