2016-03-16T03:46:24Z 2016-03-16T03:46:24Z Trump leads Cruz by just 2,500 votes with 99% counted in Missouri, so it looks like The Donald will take the Show Me state. This would mean Trump wins 4 of 5 Tuesday. Still, Cruz spoke as if he was the winner -- obviously delighted that Marco Rubio left the race. Sanders leads Clinton by 9,000 votes in Missouri with 89% counted. Not a done deal for him, but it does look like he will take the state. -

2016-03-16T02:47:38Z 2016-03-16T02:47:38Z The math after Tuesday’s results tell us that Hillary Clinton is almost certainly going to be the Democratic nominee and the Republicans will have chaotic open convention in Cleveland in July. Clinton now has about a 300 pledged delegate lead over Bernie Sanders, not counting several hundred super delegates who are supporting her. Sanders would have to win 72% of the outstanding delegates to beat Clinton after this week. On the Republican side, Donald Trump’s loss to John Kasich in Ohio means that Trump would have to win at least 60% of the remaining delegates to have the 1,237 needed to win his party’s nomination on the first ballot. While Ted Cruz remains mathematically in the race, his mountain is even steeper. -
