Naftali: Trump Represents ‘for Many Republicans the End of the Party as They Know It’

BALDWIN: "All right, on Ohio, obviously, trump wants it. Trump says he’s going to win. Kasich, this is his home state. Hue Hewitt tweeted, the future of the Republican party hangs on Ohio today. Do you agree with that?"
NAFTALI: "I’ll leave it to Hugh Hewitt to decide the future of the Republican party. What I’ll tell you about today, Brooke, is that if Kasich wins Ohio, it becomes much more unlikely that Donald Trump will get the majority number of delegates before Cleveland. So that means the stop trump movement can continue. If trump wins both Florida, where he’s expected to win today, and Ohio, it becomes increasingly likely that he’ll get more than enough delegates to win in Cleveland. I suspect, you’d have to ask Hewitt, I suspect that’s what he means. That frankly Donald Trump is, does represent for many Republicans, the end of the party as they know it. Tonight is the night where we know whether the stop Donald Trump campaign can continue past Ohio."
KASICH: "Ohio’s just such a bellwether and perhaps that’s part of what he was referring to."
NAFTALI: "Ohio’s a bellwether in our presidential elections. In many ways, it’s a diverse powerful important Midwestern state. It’s also purple. And Kasich has rested his entire campaign on the fact that he can be the favorite son of Ohio. What’s very sad for Rubio supporters is his campaign needs him to be the favorite son in Florida and it doesn’t — we should be careful, we’ve been surprised a lot. Last week we were surprised about Michigan and Sanders. But it doesn’t look like Sanders will be the favorite son in Miami. The last chance for the dump trump movement is Kasich winning today in Ohio."
