Today looks like the end for Cruz, making Trump the Republican nominee.  Polls point to a Trump victory in Indiana. But beyond that, Josh Voorhees at Slate tracks Trump and Cruz’s net favorability among Republicans.  Through March, Cruz bested Trump. But in the past few weeks, Cruz’s support has collapsed.  His net favorably among Republicans is negative 6.  Trump is at positive 24.  I just don’t see anyway that Cruz can win enough delegates to deny Trump a first ballot nomination.  Check out the graph at:

Andrew Sullivan has a very scary piece about Trump and tyranny.  It’s long, and I may not agree with all of it.  But there is no denying that Trump is a very dangerous figure worthy of greater denunciation than has occurred so far.  A link:

Given the above it’s very important for anti-Trump forces to unite.  And not just Democrats and Independents, some Republicans too.  I’d like to see Bernie be part of that unity against Trump.  It’s actually quite important.  But his talk of a contested Democratic convention makes me think unity and defeating Trump is the last thing on his mind.  Please prove me wrong Bernie.
