I dont think he has a prayer of winning Indiana, which will be his very last chance to salvage what little credibility and respect some people may still have for him. If he doesnt exit the race after that loss, his political career is over.
Donald Trump, in reality, is actually within less than 200 of the 1,237 needed delegates, since there's no doubt about New Jersey's 51 delegates. With Trump already having 1,004, New Jersey's "sure thing" puts Trump right at 1050 delegates or better, leaving *187* at most that he needs to obtain elsewhere.
That starts with Indiana on Tuesday.
Vote Trump
The public already perceives that Trump has sewn this up, and that he’s going to be the Republican nominee. Ted is increasingly looking like a sore and desperate loser, who is blinded by mindless ambition to soldier on, even when it’s plain for all to see that he has no possible chance of honestly winning the contest.
Those two perceptions are now feeding into one another like an object falling into the inescapable gravity well of a black hole. This thing has now passed the event horizon. It’s over.
