    Winner take all in Ohio and Florida and winner take most in Illinois. It's winner take all or winner take most from this point forward except for the caucusing states.

    This is it folks. We're going to be able to tell quickly whether we'll have a contested cluster fuck of a convention based on Tuesday's voting.

    Kasich needs to win Ohio to start it all off. Even if Trump wins all the other states but the margins of victory are much smaller than projected, then we have us an all out fiasco.

    The big question is how will the news coverage of the violence at the Trump rallies hurt or maybe even help him on Tuesday?

    Also, could Rubio finish 3rd behind Cruz in his home state of Florida, cementing his utter and total demise in the political world?

    If Trump wins Florida and loses Ohio, he needs to win 59 % of the remaining delegates.

    If he wins both states, he needs to win 49.5 % of the remaining delegates.

    The field winnows down to just Trump and Cruz at this point. So for Trump to win roughly half the delegates with a 1 on 1 with Cruz is imminent.

    The phrase "As Ohio goes, so goes the country" could not be more true as it will be for this nomination. Everyone will be watching this race the closest.

    Trump might be best served to have Kasich win Ohio and stay in the race. The votes for Kasich would overwhelmingly go to Cruz. Trump wins either way, he either gets the 66 delegates from Ohio OR he continues to beat Cruz because Kasich has stayed in the race.

    I'm just really happy we won't see the likes of Marco Rubio after tomorrow night.

    Dude needs a water I/V 24/7.

    Megan Kelly is dragging down the generally conservative Fox News way down with republicans. Her 1 woman war against against Trump, has become a bore & a channel changer for many.

    I suspect she'll end up at MSNBC, maybe with Madcow or elsewhere, where she can abuse the 1st Amendment (Blame the victim) at her leisure.
