Well, my takeaways on this Super Tuesday.
Trump wins Florida, but loses Ohio.
That means Trump will have to win 56-58% of the remaining delegates to meet 1237 votes to lock up the nomination. Hard, but not impossible. Cruz is in the hunt, but his type of Republicanism is hard to swallow for the establishment. The calendar will be favorable to him in the Southwest, but maybe nowhere else. Kasich is going to be acting the role of spoiler. So what it means is probably a convention fight in Cleveland. Kasich needs to prepare to send in the National Guard. Just in case.
