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.

I do not think that is going to matter. Look at all the money they threw into Jeb.

Totally and utterly wasted.

I believe the same will be true of any attempt with Rubio.

They simply do not get it. The very reason that Trump is dominating and catching fire is exactly these antics. They more they do it...the brighter the fire is going to burn.

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.

That is right...but I think Trump's momentum is going to continue to build after yesterday, through this weekend and next week. Such that it will not matter in the end.

1st I believe there is a good chance that Trump wins Ohio anyway.

2nd, quite frankly, given the other dynamics, I thinks Trump will reach the magic number well before the convention with or without Ohio.

There is a large Hispanic population, dominated by Cubans. It is a matter of blood. Rubio will milk it for all it is worth. Lots of Spanish being used.

Momentum yes, but it is not a clear and easy path. Romney will be speaking tomorrow against Trump. You can bet the Rubio and Cruz ads will continue to harp on the KKK and David Duke. They will be calling for Trump's tax returns and release of the transcript of Trump's meeting with the editorial board of the NYT. And any slip up by Trump over the next few weeks will be amplified.

I hope you are right. The GOPe has not surrendered yet. They will adhere to Trump delenda est.
