As the field narrows mightn't it be possible for people to be more likely to vote for the remaining? Not as good at analyzing things as you all but it would seem with less choices there may be more traction for the alternatives to tD.

some polls have shown 4/5 of Rubio voters will go to Cruz. The problem is that if Trump is getting 45% already, even that small fraction he gets might keep him on top.

That was in the context of not really having to consider the options. I am wondering what will happen when people do not have the noise from all and actually need to focus on the remaining choices only.

So, there's this thing to give Bernie hope.

Of course, as I've said before, the PA and NY primaries are set up much like Florida's, taking away his independent bump. Plus, she has 20 point leads in those states, which will be doubly hard to overcome without independents.

Lot of states left that favor Bernie, but Michigan has been the only one so far that he converted that is differently demographically than just being a "big Vermont."

At this point just gotta hope it's Trump. Those Hillary unfavorable ratings aren't good at all.

So I ran the updated results and polling through my spreadsheet. Reallocated voters and gave candidates the boot.

This is the first time that trump has secured the nomination. Rubio dropping out hurt. But he will be an interesting case study to determine the dropoff in support at the voting booths compared to polling numbers over the past three weeks.

Then people get what they deserve. I know I'll be doing my part, putting nervous nellies and fence sitters on the spot. You either want President Trump (or President Cruz) and will vote for them, or do nothing and let them win, or you will join the Just and Righteous Cause of electing President Hillary! There are no other alternatives.

I agree, Cruz brings nothing new to the race and will suffer a Dole/McCain type drubbing. Trump has a whole range of possibilities from narrow victory pulling out wins in old whitey states like PA to getting creamed Goldwater style. We shall see...

I disagree. I think Ryan and Kasich have better chances than Donald. Cruz probably does as well. I saw a poll last night on MSNBC that said each of the three remaining candidates had about 25% of GOP voters would stay home or vote for someone else.

That's an astonishing number for Cruz and Kasich. I had figured Kasich would have been under 15-18%.

And, much like Scooby, you are only partially right ;) Your Faux News like scare tactics dont work on the people who know how the Electoral College works :p

But I have gone on record as saying...if there is any indication that Minnesota might flip (there isnt and it wont but still) I will sell out and vote for The Shrill. Nothing short of her being Indicted as The October Surprise will make that happen though.

Kasich does not. In comparison to the Clown Show he seems moderate and even like the smart choice...he really isnt one. Paul Ryan showed his colors last election the guy is not a winnable candidate.
