Looks like Trump will win big in Mississippi (by about 15%) and Michigan (by about 12%). Rubio appears to have flamed out completely bottoming out in 4th in both states.

On the Democratic side, Hillary won Mississippi big, but is currently down 2% in Michigan.

If he doesn't get 50% of the delegates, it's not a big deal.

I do think it is a big deal. Assuming he wins Florida as current polling suggests, he will get very close to the total. The Republican party will die if they try and take it away from him at the convention.

I figured 'Little' Marco was a bottom.

You say that as if it is a bad thing.

If he has the number of delegates needed to win on the first ballot, he will. If not, it goes to a second ballot and everyone starts with zero. Themz the rules. Everybody knew them going in, and everybody took a pledge to abide by them. This isn't hand grenades. getting close to the target number just means you had a near miss. Nothing more.

I think the Rep. party is close to being toast as it is Mal. It's at least on life support. I did see Trump wanted the party to unite and how strong it could be w/o all the in-fighting. He may be right.

You think the most powerful country in the world should be dominated by a single party? Are you really that obtuse?

That would be one of the worst things to EVER happen to this country. Personally, I'd like to see a few more viable parties come into play.
