So what's the ETA of us finding out whether or not Trump has been rendered mathematically unstumpable or if the chance for chaos to reign at a contested convention still exists

Tom Cotton is Palin-level stupid, though.

Plus he's basically Republican John Kerry. Probably one of the more dead and boring speakers I've seen in American politics. Whatever advantages he has, they'll be nullified by his complete lack of charisma.

Isn't that kinda low? I recall it being near 70% in some of the southern states.

historically, what percentage of Cruz supporters have supported the ban in other states? could be misleading

The national average has been 68%, but among people who previously supported the ban:

43% voted Trump
30% voted Cruz

not all are like this. my dad is a republican and he has always voted straight r, even with palin (he liked mccain a lot). but he wouldn't vote if trump was on the ticket and he has been a life long repub. he said he would vote for hilary. i believe him because every time i mention trump he looks like he is going to throw up and doesn't want to talk about it.

Well, Hillary is basically a Republican.

Fats Dominar is on the case



this actually is less meaningful than it looks, since after 2008 a TON of republicans registered indie but still vote straight ticket R every year
being a republican was so toxic then they didn't want to be affiliated but still were completely standard R base
there's a D equivalent, too; the number of actual swing voters in this country is wildly overstated

I'm tingling with anticipation!

For reference when I went to vote in suburban Cleveland today, the line was held up by a tiny ~90 year old man with a walker. The poll worker was repeatedly asking him if he wanted the Democratic or Republican ballot, and he was loudly and proudly proclaiming his desire to vote for Trump.

His wife finally had to come over and indicate that he wanted the Republican ballot.

"Trump!"

If he wins OH and does well where he is supposed to it will be just a formality, pending the GOPe's next genius plan to stump him.
