Trump looks strong to win NV on 2/23. There are 686 delegates in 14 states voting on March 1. Trump has polled ahead most of them and is competitive everywhere. If he can run up the score in his favorable states and keep it close everywhere else, he might not be catchable.
But Jeb!!! dropped out you say? Well, in the polls I've seen Jeb hasn't polled above 5% in most of them.

For the Democrats, SC votes next week and Hillary is expecting a good showing. There are 11 states with 859 delegates voting on March 1. Hillary is expecting a good showing in at least half and competitive in 4 more. The states she is expecting to win easily have 571 delegates (AL, AR, GA, TN, TX, VA). Add that to SC and she may be uncatchable.

The race will look very different in 10 days unless something dramatic happens (which means it will look different either way).
