Frankly, while this a pretty forceful speech, I don't see how the establishment former nominee slamming Trump necessarily hurts him. Maybe it does, but I don't really think it will.
The attacks are working; Trump isn't getting the delegates he needs to win the nomination outright, which is the bottom line.
Anyone to insults George W. Bush over 9/11 while praising Putin isn't winning the GOP nomination. That would be like Margaret Thatcher winning the Labour Party nomination.
Stop saying it because it isn't true - Donald Trump is ahead of schedule, not behind.
He doesn't have a majority of the delegates allotted thus far, and Carson dropping out will help Cruz. A brokered convention is still the most likely outcome, though that scenario would produce either a Trump nomination or a walk-out by him and his supporters.
Right; the FiveThirtyEight projection has Trump winning Ohio. But notice how Romney included Kasich in his speech. The establishment strategy has shifted from trying to push Kasich out of the race, to keeping him in the race to win Ohio.
I've said that for a few weeks now. They NEED Kasich to stay in the race the establishment. There is only one way left to stop Trump that is a brokered convention and for that to happen two things HAVE to happen on March 15th for any chance it is brokered. Rubio needs to find a way to win Florida and Kasich needs to find a way to win Ohio.
If Kasich drops out Trump would easily win Ohio and it would be game over. The establishment can't have Kasich drop out until Ohio.
