BBC headline: Setback for Trump in White House race
The BBC newsroom is going to need a massive amount of therapy to cope with a Trump win. They just don't know how to handle such a prospect.
What you mean there won't be 100;s of champagne bottle cluttering the corridors ala 1997 and 2008?
I suspect not. As journalists, they should be excited about a massive upheaval in the political landscape - all the stories and profiles that can be written. But no. They will go into shock and then into mourning

Lack of champagne will be due to the budget cuts I'm sure ;-)
Trump seemed to be relaxed by the reality that only a convention stitch-up can get depose him now as GOP candidate. He won't be defeated at the polls by any single candidate.
Now there's a man I'd be offering the vice-Presidency to...
I very much Doubt Ryan would want to be VP.
Especially Trump's VP.
Ryan wants his policy agenda adopted by trump - that's the game of poker that's being played right now. Ryan's problem is - how do you get a candidate like trump to actually commit to anything?
He'll do one thing, say another, do another, etc etc.

Well Trump does need a policy platform - other than building a wall, banning all Muslims from entering the US and 'doing better deals' - so he needs to find someone to help
Clinton still over 50000 ahead in Illinois despite her margin down to 4%. Her Ohio win does not look quite so stonking as it appeared earlier - now leading 56 to 43.
DAVID WASSERMAN 11:12 PM Mathematically, Trump Is On Pace To Erase His Ohio Loss Guess what? Trump could make up for all 66 delegates he lost in Ohio with huge delegate margins in Illinois and Missouri. In Missouri, Trump is clinging to a lead of just 2,400 votes, but IF things continue as they are, Trump will capture 47 of Missouri’s delegates to just five for Cruz. And in Illinois, where Trump is winning about 40 percent of the vote, he could win all but a handful of congressional districts, giving him perhaps 60 of the state’s 69 delegates. Wow.

So hard to call.
Trump 619
Cruz 393
Rubio 167
Kasich 136

Cruz 0.6% behind but needs a 1.3% lead in the remaining third...
The entire commentariat is going to feel a little silly when Marco Rubio wins every Republican primary.
800 votes in it.
"This is a 2 way race, we won from alaska to maine"
update: trending well to Trump now.
He knows he can't get to 1237 and doesn't really seem to be willing to fight. Where is the real drive to want to lead the US of A?
Trump 300 160 votes ahead.
But it will all come down to the City of St. Louis.

http://www.theguardian.com/us-news/ng-interactive/2016/mar/15/florida-illinois-missouri-north-carolina-ohio-live-results-primary-caucuses
lead narrows to 2600, with 2 counties yet to declare.lead 3000 with one to declare.
There is still some outstanding precincts in St.Louis county and suburbs though.
St Louis still to come in which is (narrowly) Trump
Trump will get 500 votes from Perry.
GP (although behind in the count) is pointing to that scenario.

Decision Desk shows the relative populations in the districts well though
TRUMP!
A good night for him, whatever.
And it's goodnight from me.
Missouri Delegates:
Statewide
Almost certainly Trump I think
At least 4 CDs
So he has at least 32 delegates from Missouri, possibly 37. Could be 42/
