Rubio romps in Puerto Rico.

Looks like he'll get all twenty delegates as he is far over 50% in the four man race. Could it be the Hispanic
Community doesn't love DT as much as he claims? In the last five races, DT has gotten far less than the 50% of delegates he needs to avoid an open convention. Is it a speed bump or a genuine obstacle?

They like their Latinos flamboyant in Puerto Rico.

It might bode well for him in Florida, as there is a huge Puerto Rican population living there.

I believe I heard Rubio was the only one who actually physically campaigned in PR, if that's true would probably explain why he killed it.

Desperate times call for desperate measures. At this point, it doesn't matter how or why, the important thing is to keep delegates out of Trumps column.
This race could be over in a week, or drag on till June. Strange that it comes down to Ohio and Florida, as those two states will go a long way to determine who wins the election in the fall. As I'm su e all you students of history are aware, no Republican in modern times has won the Presidency without winning Ohio.

Tump needs to capture 50% plus 1 of the delegates. To date, he has 384 of 872, and his percentage has been shrinking, not growing.

Important to whom? Democrats? Republicans? If Trump is as bad as you say, Hillary will cream him.

If Democrats want to fear someone, they should fear Cruz. I think Cruz is way further away from the ideals of the Democratic party than Trump. He wants to deport all illegals and not even let the 'good ones' back. He wants to eliminate the IRS. He seems like a bit of a religious zealot. At least Trump is 'flexible'...and even sings some praises for the "Women's health side" of Planned Parenthood.

Prior polling shows Cruz would be the easiest to beat. His zealot views turn off independents.

And we like his hair even less than The Donald....at least The Donald doesn't eat his hair...as far as we know.

As to polling...all the General Election ones I'm seeing have every Republican candidate EXCEPT Donald beating Hillary....So I would think Democrats would want to see Trump nominated rather than someone stronger than the presumptive Democratic nominee.

Everyone Beats Hillary but Donald Trump
