    Illinois is continuing to look interesting for Sanders, just 34,000 votes behind at present.

    Sanders is now 41k behind... not ideal direction of travel

    Rod you may know better but with the "loophole" system that GreenPapers descirbe, doesn't 42/22/22 produce close to WTA for Trump?
    It should do, if that's the final result. I don't think it's a true loophole, as the delegates are bound [unless they are elected as uncommitted].

    And this is the official end of the Sanders campaign, typically it was over after Iowa and Nevada.

    The Democrats come out of their primary almost united, the Republicans still in a nasty civil war.

    Winner:Democrats.

    has the email thing gone away?
    It doesn't matter anymore, look at the sore state of the Republicans.
    Even with Kasich 1/4 of Republican voters will refuse to vote for their nominee.
    They're mistaken. They will vote for them, when push comes to shove. They have to rationalise their choice for somebody else at present, they will be "convinced" by the chosn nominee later.
    Nope, that 1/4 takes orders from Trump.
    Just in any election, the vast majority of Republicans will vote Republican, regardless of nominee, even if they opposed him in the primaries.
    With a majority of republicans hating their own party it will be difficult to convince them.
    The Republicans lost the GE after their factions declared total war on each other, sometime after Nevada.

    The NeverTrump is a classic example of party infighting at it's extremes.

    Sanders has said he is going on and will likely stay on until at least the end of April when Trump and Clinton wrap up the nomination by winning New York and Pennsylvania

    The GOP really needed Matt Santos

    Hillary sounds like she'll lose her voice before the campaign is over.

    Bit like Arnie Vinick and his broken hand all over again.

    (The West Wing is real... isn't it?!)
    Santos would have been a woeful President.

    Well he needs to win 90% of outstanding delegates, so practically he can't get the nomination in the primaries, only if it's handed to him by the establishment at the convention.

    Versus 538 targets, it could well be:

    Florida 99 (-)
    Ohio 0 (-66)
    Marianas 9 (+9)
    Missouri 43 (-)
    North Carolina 29 (+3)
    Illinois 60 (+21)

    Leaving Trump -33 down on the day, trails by ~13. And Rubio out the race means Trump can make that back easily.

    Logically he should, but Hillary might want him to stay in for a while. While he's fighting her, Trump and Cruz won't start fully attacking her. And he's bringing in a certain section of voters that she needs to win in November.

    So in conclusion Trump wins Florida, knocking out Rubio and North Carolina and probably Illinois and maybe Missouri. Kasich wins his home state and he and Cruz will go on for another month before Trump seals it with wins in New York and Pennsylvania

    On the Democratic side looks like Clinton has won 3 out of 5 states and maybe all 5 so effectively seals the nomination although Sanders too stays in until the big NE states vote

    Goodnight

    From 538:

    The Best News Of The Night For Trump So Far
    All right, this is going to get nerdy, but it’s absolutely critical. There are very few GOP voters in Cook County, Illinois (Chicago), but the best news of the night for Trump so far might be that he’s winning it handily. That’s because there are three delegates at stake in each of Illinois’s 18 districts, regardless of how blue or red they are. In fact, Trump could win three delegates from a Chicago district with as few as 5,000 votes but then collect zero delegates from a Cruz-won downstate district with as many as 50,000 votes.

    In early returns, Trump is taking 44 percent in Cook County to 23 percent for Kasich and 21 percent for Cruz. If that holds, he could win a bigger delegate margin out of the city of Chicago than he would win with a 15 percent margin of victory in the entire state of North Carolina. It’s a fascinating quirk of the Republican National Committee’s delegate allocation rules, and it wasn’t simply an accident or sign of provocation that Trump planned a Chicago rally last week.The Best News Of The Night For Trump So Far

    I am not sure Sanders supporters quite get the logic flaw in his argument....corporate America must pay a minimum wage of $15/hr, because nobody can live on $9/hr, but at the same time corporate America must make all their good in America, where the jobs will have to pay $15/hr (rather than a $1/hr in China)...so the cost of goods will be much higher, so the cost of living will be higher, so people won't be able to live on $15/hr...

    I'm seeing 25% counted.

    Trump 3% ahead, Cruz needs to be 1% ahead in the rest. Most counties have Trump ahead at the moment.

    Update: trending more Trump...
    Dems though: Sanders narrowly ahead with 14% in.

    I can't call Illinois yet for Hillary since most of Chicago is not in yet.

    Trump does appear to be too far ahead in Missouri now.

    Kasich and Cruz, two candidates you would want to be up against.

    Surely Trump will stand as an independent if they successfully attempt to get rid of him at the convention.

    Trump thanks the N.Mariana Islands Governor, says that 9 delegates is a lot, mentions the yougov poll that gives him 53%.

    You'd want them in the order they are in too. A Kasich in Cruz's delegate position would be alot more dangerous for Trump.

    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.
