    Off to bed now, big winners of the night Trump and Clinton but both Cruz and Sanders have at least one a state or two which is enough to keep them going for a few weeks. Rubio looks to have won nowhere as yet and is surely bowing out when Trump beats him in Florida in a fortnight

    I'm with you there. One thing for sure is the campaign will be very nasty - both Trump and Clinton have a whole load of baggage, only some of which has come out so far. Trump will try and portray her as corrupt, and if that sticks she's in real trouble.
