Bloomberg's John Heileman -- analyzing last night's primaries in North Carolina, Florida, Missouri, and Illinois -- said it's not "very tough" to stop Trump:

HEILEMANN: "Look, the point Willie makes, “You have to stop trump. You got time on Friday? I got time in my schedule next Monday.” There’s been no urgency for nine months when they’ve been talking about stopping trump. I think that that’s right. It has to be a candidate — the stop trump movement could unite behind one of those candidates and they might help financially but there’s still got to be a candidate who wins and you look forward on the calendar, you have contests on Tuesday in Utah and Arizona, Arizona Donald Trump very strong, very good trump state. Ted Cruz might win in Utah where there are Mormon voters and Cruz has done well with Mormon voters. The next contest is April 5 in Wisconsin where you could have a three-way race there. I don’t know how that will turn out but it’s not like — right now, at least, there’s not like a moment where you could put a brake on Donald Trump that will be an obvious moment to slow him down. He is going to probably win one of those two contests next Tuesday and get another 50 delegates from Arizona in a winner take all state. Very tough to stop with math and momentum on his side."
