    This is surely looking very, very good for Trump.

    Why is he still 1.42 for the nomination?

    It is bizarre. You look at all the remaining winner takes all states, he's going to pretty much sweep the lot. Will be enough to get him over the threshold.

    Because he is doing worse than expectations and in delegates.

    Hope you made money with me finding and posting the Exit Poll numbers 45 minutes before polls closed.
    Unfortunately not, I was looking at census data for an EU referendum spreadsheet I'm doing.

    Trump may regret not trying to get 5% more votes in Ohio, at the cost of 5% in Florida. It looks like Rubio is so dead and buried that the 5% would have made a difference. It won't cost Trump the nomination though.

    I think the momentum boost he gets from crushing Rubio in Florida is probably worth it. Media/voters will write off Kasich as a home win.

    I know, the only spoilers are the home states of their competitors.

    And Hillary having only one opponent rather than 3 that Trump has.
    If Hillary had more credible opponents then the Democrats would also have gone to a convention.

    Impressed with Sky News, Rubio used the phrase "campaign is suspended" and half a second later it was the caption on the screen. Some fast fingers there.

    It's an odd speech, a bit of everything, rowdy crowd pleasing, self-criticism, big vision, church sermon, not quite sure where it's going. Perhaps to end in a rendition of My Way?
