Yes, Kasich lost his "must win". BTW, Ted Cruz spent $1,000 in Michigan and came in second.

Not sure that helps him much. I think Chuck Norris does more good for Cruz's campaign than Fiorina. I mean, who would go against Chuck Norris...and live to talk about it.
LoL

I believe that Carly did criticize Cruz pretty harshly during the debates, but she went nowhere as far as the ad hominem attacks thrown out by Trump and Rubio. She was pretty mild in comparison. So, I can forgive her and get behind her support of Ted. I don't feel the same about Trump and Rubio, but especially Trump as he has been classless and insulting to more than Ted Cruz. I don't know how his wife and family could be proud of him, except it's the NY Values they all share.

Yeah, but Kasich's been pretty clear he's not going anywhere until Ohio, and Rubio wants to hang on through Florida. Neither has a real shot, and I haven't like Kasich from the start, but I think Kasich wins Ohio and continues on hoping for the convention, that he gets the party nod over Trump and Cruz.
I think Marcos gone come Wednesday morning.
If Trump wins both, he gets tons of delegates, and he will probably win NY/NJ, so Im not sure what that puts him at (especially if he wins Ohio). But Cruz will win California, and most of the states left after March 15, regardless of if Kasoch stays in. I see a contested convention between Trump and Cruz. Kasich may win 1 state (Ohio). It will be a disaster of anyone other than Cruz or Trump wins at the convention. I actually like Romney still, but no way he should get it after Cruz ran all year. I think its going to the convention unless Trump wins Ohio, Florida, NY, and California.

They are talking about Marco leaving before Friday, depending on internal polling in Florida. Kaisch said, back in February, that if he couldn't win Michigan, he needed to pack his bags and go home. So, John, please do.
Marco and Kaisch have NO chance to catch up in delegates with Ted Cruz. If they stay in, it clinches the Trump nomination. Going to Convention against Trump and Cruz's delegates is totally an insane idea. I just don't see it happening. The GOP will have a blood bath on the Convention floor.

I wish they'd both get out, but how bad does Kasich feel about getting 3rd in Michigan? I think it favors Cruz for Kasich to run in Ohio just to keep Trump from 1237.

He might, if he can win. He didn't win Michigan, and he said it was a "must win". Look, if I were the governor of my state, I would think hard about dropping out, BUT staying in will cause Cruz to have trouble in the other four states, pulling away votes. Those that say - Stop Trump - need to get out of the way or they are playing spoiler. All of those votes need to go Ted Cruz's way.
Ohio pledges 66 delegates
Florida 99 (even if Trump wins Florida, he only wins 52% of pledged delegates, and he needs 54% to win the nomination)
Illinois and Missouri are Open Primaries. These are the places that Trump is doing well because of crossover voting. In closed Primaries, when the party votes, Ted Cruz does well, for the larger part.
Some of the southern states have lost a lot of manufacturing jobs and are buying into Trump's, gonna bring them back. I don't buy it. He acts as though he can legislate unilaterally, and people aren't paying attention.
Someone needs to hold him to - HOW? Every time Trump says he is going to do something - building a wall - HOW? "We are going to stop businesses leaving our country." - HOW?
Georgia, Arkansas, Alabama, Tennessee, South Carolina, Virginia and Nevada were open primaries. Trump wouldn't have won all of these states if they had been Closed primaries. The party needs to rethink this strategy, unless it was designed to stop conservative candidates, which is my understanding.
BTW, Carly Firoina really hit Fox News for downplaying Ted Cruz's win over Kaisch in Michigan. Loved that.

Re: Sen. Ted Cruz Makes It Official
What Carson said about Trump is true.
He is not the person who you see under the TV lights.
So is BHO.

Why he would believe the tale of two Trumps to be a good thing, I don't know.
