Princeton Elections Consortium

++Sam Wang shows that both Trump and Clinton are still on the path to gaining the necessary delegates for the nomination. Wang puts booth their chances at 90%, even with Sanders stunning upset of Clinton in Michigan.

++538 has an essay on how the polls got Sanders wrong in Michigan. One factor was the number of independents who voted for him. 

++Michigan will be a warning as we head to Ohio where Sanders has cut into Clinton's lead.

++JEB! is to meet with all the Republican candidates except Trump before the next debate.

++Carly Fiorina endorsed Ted Cruz today. So far the much heralded Senate endorsements haven't materialized.

++CNBC has a story of how Rubio could still win. CNN's latest poll of Florida still has Trump crushing Rubio.

++The other CNBC story was trying to debunk the Donald's boasting about his water,wine and steaks at his victory press conference.

++Townhall the right-wing website said conservatives must go all in on Ted Cruz.

++The establishment has other problems --like Rule 42 of the Republican convention. You have to have the majority of delegates in six states --just to be nominated for President. None are right now but it looks like only Trump and Cruz can be legitimately entered into nomination. 

++The scenario must talked about is depriving Donald of the majority of the delegates and then in the second round all delegates are free to vote their choice. Imagine the reaction of the Trumpeteers.
