so much of the focus was on the dem race last night, and i am not suggesting that it shouldn't have been, but trump cleaned up with 3 out of 4 big wins.
thoughts?

(942 posts)the Repubs switch to mostly winner take all primaries.
And most of the remaining big states are open primaries (ie. Trump does even better)
I don't see how Trump can be stopped.
Maybe this last minute GOPe "stop Trump" effort is just another Repub consultant ripoff to fleece billionaire donors some more.

(38,437 posts)He has 45% of the delegates thus far.
He ain't a lock.

(2,792 posts)Even if he wins enough delegates, he will be winning them with a plurality and not a majority vote. I don't think that share of the popular vote gets him very far in the general election. And I think he has a ceiling of radical support. Many independents and Republicans will cross over or stay home.

Even in the primary, the anti-Trump vote was split between a few people.

Now, I don't think all that many of them know just what should be done, but they seem sure that whatever it is, it isn't being done.
So, since traditional politicians aren't doing the job, they're giving Trump a shot. That they may be shooting themselves in their feet is a chance they are taking.
Bringing Romney out as a last gasp just reinforces their fears.
