    Trump didn't need Ohio per se, but his margin for error is practically nonexistent at this point if he wants to get to 1237.

      I was a little surprised at how convincingly Kasich won Ohio.

        I am and I'm not. About 70% of the people that I associate with on a day-to-day basis are Repubs and not a single one of them voted for Trump.

        On average, Trump is underperforming his poll numbers. In some cases, significantly so.

        Next up -- Arizona and Utah. Trump and Cruz will win those states handily. It will be WTA for Cruz if he gets to 50% in Utah. I would be surprised if he doesn't. Considering what the math looks like, just about any WTA total going to Cruz is disastrous for Trump at this point. I'm pretty sure that this will be the first time ever that the Utah caucus is actually interesting.

          As for Trump, he doesn't need 1237 anymore, he just needs to maintain his margin over Cruz. If he's up by 250 going to the convention, then there's really not much of a case for Cruz. If it's much closer, then there's a very fair argument to be made.

            250 isn't a huge margin. It might be close enough to make a Cruz/Kasich ticket palatable for people.

            Kasich basically earned his VP nomination last night if he wants it. Not a huge fan but he would be a really good choice for that spot for a few reasons.

              It will be interesting in the fall if the Dem is a big business free trader and the Repub is a trade protectionist.

                  I know. Just when I was about to cast my first ever ballot for an R for President. I guess I'll stay independent for awhile.

                  The Ohio and Florida polls on Trump v Clinton suggest what I firmly believe...Trump has little to no chance in November. He won't get McGovern'd because the blue state/red state thing is so entrenched. But he ain't winning -- and the point to make re Trump/Clinton is that voters have TONS of info on these two...they are, by far and away, the two most "known" candidates so you wouldn't anticipate a ton of sway. Or I wouldn't.

                    Also, of note, Rubio voters break fairly heavily for Cruz. I don't think there's any question that Cruz wins Missouri if Rubio is out. He might have even won NC, but that would have required a 75% break for Cruz.

                    Cruz is going to win Utah in a walk next Tuesday. The big question is whether he can win Arizona. I haven't seen any polls there, but I suspect Trump probably wins Arizona. BUT, if Cruz can win both those states that will buy him some real momentum going into a bit of a break period. He'll then need to win Wisconsin in April.

                      I can't wait for a brokered convention/GOP cage match. Actually, it's the aftermath that will be most interesting. (Unless the Repubs go into Dem mode and simply vote for the nominee like good little sheep.)

                        A LOT of the states remaining are "more left." I can't imagine Cruz winning Oregon, California, or NY for example.

                        My point: Cruz won't get more delegates than Trump when it's over, but it will be very close for Trump to get 1237.

                          Agreed. But thats why Rubio should have stayed in. If he honestly cared about the future of America, he should have hung tough just to suck delegates away from Trump. I'm thinking Trump will come stupidly close to getting enough delegates, maybe fall 5 or 6 short. Rubio should hang in to help widen the gap.

                            I don't see how this would help America. Is Cruz a better choice? Either of the two is a disaster.

                              You've got to have money. I think that Rubio's donors were rapidly losing faith in him. His crowds were shrinking badly.
