I agree. By March 15th things are going to be a lot more clear.
Yesterday made them clearer IMHO..
Carson is out. Kasich is waiting for Ohio. Rubio did not do very well, despite winning Minnesota. All of his hopes rest in Florida now and he looks to be losing it big time.
Cruz is the only one at this point, IMHO, with any chance at all of competing with Trump...and truth be told, it is a small chance.
As it is, I fully expect Trump to win FL pretty big, and that will end any hope at all for Rubio...though he may stay in as a spoiler anyway. But the only person he can possible “spoilt” at that point if Cruz...and it might not make any differences in any case.
Kasich will give Trump a run in Ohio...no doubt about that. But even if he wins...it’s just a small speed bump to Trump, and in all likelihood, it is Kasich’s last hoorah and only win.
IMO Rubio has a better shot than Cruz if you look at the upcoming states. The chances are small for both if Trump just takes Ohio or FL. Neither one can reach the needed number of delegates. They are both fighting for a brokered convention, not to win the nomination outright.

I hope you are right, but I expect it to be much closer given the stakes involved and the amount of money the GOPe is pouring in to take Trump down. Rubio is not well-liked in FL given his betrayal on amnesty. Still, he could have a shot depending on how successful the MSM and the GOPe are in taking down Trump. The debate tomorrow night is a big trap for Trump. And there will be three against one on stage plus another stacked audience.

Agree. The only reason Kasich is staying in is to give the GOPe a shot at Ohio, a winner take all state. These are delegates that would be denied Trump who will surely finish second in a Kasich win. Without Kasich, Trump would win easily.
