  1. I’m going to stick with my thought (which is not my favorite scenario, but, really, there is no “good” scenario) that Rubio eventually gets the nomination. Trump is such a deviation from the status quo that, in my puny mind, a delayed return to the status quo (a pseudo-establishment guy like Rubio) still makes more sense than that things will remain topsy-turvy through to the convention.

  2. The best news from this list is that Kasich has gained nothing since his surprise showing in New Hampshire. He’s the only guy that ever really scared me.

  3. I think the GOP establishment is going to find it very difficult to overcome Trump. Brace yourselves people. We’re going to live in a world where Donald Trump is going to be the Republican nominee. I don’t see how this is going to stop.

  4. Trump is getting a little more than a third of the vote in SC.

    What about the other almost two-thirds?
