Shortly after polls closed in Florida on Tuesday night, the Associated Press called the results: Donald Trump won the state's 99 delegates. A bit more slowly, the AP called Ohio for John Kasich -- giving him the state's 66 delegates. Those are big prizes. Trump's Florida win gives him 8 percent of the total he'd need for the nomination, and Kasich's Ohio win gives him 5 percent of the total he'd need.
Kasich has no chance of earning enough delegates to win the Republican nomination outright. Literally none.
Ted Cruz would need to win 90 percent of them.
Trump needs about 57 percent of every remaining delegate -- including the ones we know he'll add in Illinois -- to be the nominee for the Republican Party .... https://www.washingtonpost.com
