Rubio Still Has a Path to First Place in the GOP Race

Politico‘s Shane Goldmacher reports that Florida senator Marco Rubio’s path to winning the 1,237 delegates necessary to secure the presidential nomination before the GOP convention has vanished. That’s correct. But that’s also true for Ted Cruz. And it may soon be true for Donald Trump as well.

I asked the Cook Political Report’s Dave Wasserman if Cruz has a path to 1,237 delegates in the primary season if Cruz loses Florida and Ohio on March 15 and does okay in Missouri and Illinois that same day. “No way. Cruz’s best states have already voted, and he’s at only 61 percent of what he needs so far to be on pace for 1,237,” Wasserman replied.
