We know this at this point. But as we listen to the election commentary tonight it is telling how potential wins for various Republicans (besides Trump) are simply presented as wins that could make it possible for them to stay in the race or be ‘plausible’, whatever that means.

Katherine Krueger walks us through the strange Breitbart implosion over Trump.
