I'm on the fence between Trump and Cruz, since they have the clearest shot at taking a majority of states (and delegates) on Super Tuesday, and thus gaining all of the bandwagon support that often comes with a Super Tuesday win. If an establishment candidate can win New Hampshire maybe they'll have a decent chance, but I'm doubtful that that will happen now, given the circular firing squad taking place there between Rubio, Bush, and Christie.

I ended up voting Cruz, fwiw.

A brokered convention is imminent. There's no way Trump will win enough states and Cruz will eventually fade just like Santorum in 2012. Rubio will emerge as the establishment candidate once Jeb & Christie drop out; at the convention Rubio will be chosen to be the nominee.

If Cruz fades then that would seem to guarantee a Trump win.
