The magic number in the GOP primary is 901. While all are still mathematically viable, the climb is steep.

“If the poll is accurate, this is good news for the movement against Donald Trump”, said Mark Caleb Smith, director of the Center for Political Studies at Cedarville University.
It’s bad news all around for Florida Sen.
Kasich spent the day campaigning in his home state ahead of the March 15 winner-take-all primary which he deems to be critical in his survival in the 2016 race. The real test comes a week later, during the Ohio Republican primary on March 15. Marco Rubio and Ted Cruz among the GOP candidates to make public such personal financial records. By contrast, frontrunner Donald Trump has won an estimated 378 delegates.
“Is (keeping Trump from clinching) mathematically possible? I would say that if we have an interview in a month and it’s still some sort of tied scenario, then I think people start talking about it more clearly”.
Like Rubio and Cruz, Kasich only released the first two pages of his federal 1040 form. “As the chairman of the house budget committee, he pushed through the first balanced budget, the first balanced budget since a man walked on the moon”, Schwarzenegger said in Columbus, Ohio, on Sunday.
“You will not beat him by smearing him”.
John Kasich told CNN’s Jake Tapper on “State of the Union” that he would sign a bill now being debated in his state banning abortion if the reason for the procedure is because the child would have Down syndrome. “That a positive message and raising the bar for our kids will win, will win in this country, will move America forward, thank you very much and God Bless ya’ll”, said Kasich.
“I’m going to give you your power”, Kasich promised. “I know for a fact”.
The Fox poll has Trump in front with 42 percent. I do not support a backroom deal at the convention, either…. “Can you convince me tonight that it’s not a waste?”
Schwarzenegger spoke of his long relationship with Central Ohio, and with Kasich, officially endorsing the Ohio Governor. That’s nearly double the $440,000 Trump has spent on-air. Going into Saturday’s voting, Trump led the field with 329 delegates. “We’ve got to win this nomination”.

Putnam cautions that the math can be misleading, however.
