The Stop Trump Strategy

++Before the Miami debate, JEB! met with all the contenders to discuss a strategy to stop the Donald. Eric Erickson of Red State exposed the strategy and Marco Rubio today made it explicit. If you are a non-Trump supporter vote Rubio in Florida, in Ohio, vote for Kasich in Ohio, vote for Cruz anywhere else. 

++Nate Silver warns that the GOP has to pay attention to Missouri and Illinois because even if the Donald loses in Florida or Ohio,wins in Illinois and Missouri will still keep him on the path to the nomination.

++North Carolina where Trump is leading is sort of proportional so not as valuable as the other states. 

++That strategy assumes alot of the voter--to vote strategically instead of your favorite. It also assumes that the candidates can get the word out in time and that voters will obey them.

++Missouri polling for both the Democrats and Republicans has only just resumed after a break. So we don't know. We know Trump has a lead.

++Illinois has a huge Trump lead. 

++From what we know now,Trump wins North Carolina,Illinois,Florida, comes in second in Ohio. The strategy was too little, too late.
