Cruz, now second to Trump in terms of Republican delegates, began appealing to Rubio’s followers to join an anti-Trump coalition, and also suggested that Kasich exit the race because it is mathematically impossible for him to win the GOP nomination.

Ted Cruz is his nearest competition with 395 delegates, he lost out to Mr Trump by 8 percent in IL. I think you would have riots.
His message to the party: “There’s a tremendous fervor out there, and I think the Republicans, the leadership of the Republicans, should grasp it”.
“Although we’re waiting for final results in IL and Missouri, we know we will add to our delegate lead to roughly 300 with over two million more votes nationwide”, she said. “I think that would be a disaster”, he said.
He said she’d be “a major embarrassment for the country” and added that she “doesn’t have the strength or the stamina to be president”. “I get things closed”. Even if he is a little short, Trump said he should still be awarded the nomination if, as expected, he has a large delegate lead over competitors. Marco Rubio could be dealt a big loss at the hands of Donald Trump, which effectively would end Rubio’s already-faltering White House campaign. And those 66 delegates are the total Trump needs to reach the 1,237 total delegates he needs to guarantee himself the nomination.
Bringing up his opponents” conduct on the debate stage, he said it was “absolutely unbelievable’.
With only two non-Trump candidates left, Cruz and Kasich, it seems the Republican establishment isn’t exactly happy.
Clinton and Trump weren’t the only winners last night as OH state governor John Kasich pulled his home state to prevent Trump from all out Super Tuesday Republican dominance. He said Wednesday on Fox News that he’s committed to a big speech the same night. Avoiding this bloodbath of a convention where you deny the person with the most delegates the nomination, I think that is going to be really tough for a lot of people to swallow.
Kasich won his first primary Tuesday night – in his home state of OH – but has no mathematical chance of winning enough delegates to be the Republican nominee without a contested convention in Cleveland. The state has 52 Republican delegates. By Wednesday morning, Missouri was still too close to call.
Some leaders in the Republican Party have begrudgingly accepted the increasingly likely possibility that the billionaire businessman will lead the party in the general election.

Scott also warned that “if we spend another four months tearing each other apart, we will damage our ability to win in November. In most states Trump has a floor of about 35-38%, but he has an impervious ceiling in the low 40s”.
