Although Donald Trump didn’t have quite the landslide he hoped for on Super Tuesday, he still won in terms of delegates and momentum. Marco Rubio, whose prospects look increasingly grim, won only in Minnesota, and Ted Cruz lost Tennessee, Georgia, Arkansas and Alabama, proving he is not the darling of the deep South as he’d hoped.

The rise of Donald Trump blindsided Republicans. Nothing his opponents have done has been able to stop him, or even slow him down very much. Most people predicted his campaign would fizzle months ago, but now, barring a massive shift in public opinion or a revolt at the Republican convention in July, it looks highly likely that Trump will be the party’s nominee.
