Ignoring the hype of the media, I reported to you, all the logical outcomes of the March 15^th primaries. I am well aware that the mainstream journalists hoped for a more dramatic outcome, but the polls accurately predicted the results. It remains Trump and Clinton; like it or not.

Hillary Clinton won four of the five states, but Bernie Sanders is not surrendering. The problem for Bernie is the delegate count; it is highly unlikely that she can be caught.

Donald Trump won three states, including the winner-take-all state of Florida. As predicted, Trump easily won the ‘Sunshine State’ over Marco Rubio by nearly 20 points. Later in the evening, Rubio resigned from his campaign, much to the dismay of the Republican establishment.

John Kasich was victorious in his state of Ohio, capturing 66 delegates, but he trails Trump by a huge margin in the overall total.

Trump won Illinois, North Carolina, and Florida. This morning Missouri remains ‘too close to call’ between Trump and Ted Cruz, but it will have little importance; the delegates will be divided.

In a couple of weeks, the Republican primaries move to the northeast, where Trump is leading in every state.

So, what’s next? Is it just a matter of time until Trump and Clinton secure the required delegates to win the nomination?

It is nearly impossible for Bernie to surpass Clinton. Trump is distancing himself from the only challenger who is within reach, Ted Cruz.

Republican Party leadership is not pleased with Tuesday’s results, but the voters have made their choice. If they make additional attempts to force an end to Trump’s campaign, there will be a large revolt in the GOP. Their candidate will be and must be Donald Trump.

Hillary is doing her ‘happy dance.’
