Editor's notes: Polls show Cruz and Kasich beating Trump in one on one match ups. My question: So what? This is just another distraction. Its not about polls and projections, is it (?). Rather, it is all about the current rules and the delegates. Apparently, Trump wins in the state of Michigan, Mississippi. Idaho and Hawaii are yet to report. All four states are proportional in terms of how the delegates are divided. These are the last of the proportional contests. Beginning with next week's primaries, all remaining primaries are winner take all . . . . . . . potentially bad news for the all who oppose Trump, depending on how far ahead he is by the end of the night.
As a footnote, Rubio is really having a bad night. Rubio was polling at 20% before tonight. Sadly he is running 9%, a rather remarkable fall from grace. If you consider Rubio to be "establishment," (I don't), the establishment's hopes are growing deem.

The new NBC/WSJ poll - conducted mostly after last Thursday's
raucous GOP debate and Mitt Romney's blistering anti-Trump speech -
differs from the weekly national NBC|SurveyMonkey online poll, which
showed Trump leading Cruz by 19 points, 39 percent to 20 percent. The
NBC|SurveyMonkey poll was conducted Feb. 29-March 6, so half before the
debate and Romney's speech.
The new NBC/WSJ poll also shows Trump trailing his rivals in hypothetical one-on-one match-ups.
Cruz and Kasich best Trump by an identical 17
points, 57 percent to 40 percent, while Rubio beats Trump by 13 points,
56 percent to 43 percent.
