Fun fact: this man was the longest serving mayor of Providence, Rhode Island. He was forced to resign after a felony assault conviction, spent time in jail, was re-elected, then forced to resign again after a racketeering conviction because he basically let the mob run Providence. Yes, that's a jar of his self-branded marinara sauce his wife is holding.

There is a Republican congressman from Pennsylvania on MSNBC right now that is straight up living in a fantasy world. Kasich is going to do well in the delegate count there, apparently. Even Chuck Todd didn't let him get away with that one.

Indiana is going to be Groundhog Day.

If Cruz wins Indiana, the primary goes on for another five weeks.

If Trump wins Indiana, we have an early general.

So the main thing these margins do is give Trump breathing room on the rest of the contests, right? Can he underperform elsewhere and end up off-track again, or are the unbounds still important in actually getting over 1237?

I take it the best-case scenario would still mean not having 1237 by June 7th, the goal's just to lower the bar he needs to clear there to be something very easy, but it'll stay "contested" at least up to that day. Have we got an updated delegate estimate for Trump yet?

It means he doesn't need to win Indiana to get to 1,237.

If he loses Indiana, he's on track for 1180-1210, depending on how much rear end he kicks in CA. If he wins Indiana, it's more like 1210-1240.

This was a huge scandal in the state that resulting in the resignation of the Chief Marketing Officer responsible. It was a pretty pathetic affair, but about par for the course here. At least it wasn't as expensive a debacle as 38 Studios.

This is correct if he gets 100-120 out of CA. With the kind of poll numbers we're seeing right now that could be > 150, which would seal it in either case.

I had him projected at 109. That projection looks dead on except in RI where Cruz might go under 10%, which would net Trump 1-4 more delegates depending on where he does it.

To put it another way, Kasich will win 5 delegates tonight solely out of RI, Cruz will get between 0-4 also solely out of RI (4 if he gets 10.1% of the vote distributed uniformly), and Trump will sweep four states.

Even so, if this big North East win gives him momentum and he takes Indiana too, that might help convince people he's already won rather than hold out hope for a California miracle - both in terms of delegate numbers and in terms of narrative where he's winning week after week.

One might say, they'll get tired of his winning.
