Hume: After Tonight, Harder and Harder to Stop Trump, Even If Doesn’t Quite Get 1,237

HUME: "Bret, think of it this way, Trump has been held under 50% everywhere until last week. In the voting percentages. He won by a distinct majority last week. It will be important to see what kind of majorities he rolls up tonight. If he rolls up big majorities in three or five of these states, that may indeed generate momentum. His opponents have been saying the guy is getting half the delegates, but only got 38 or 40% of the vote. That will begin to change if he rolls that up tonight. I think it gets harder and harder to stop him even if he’s headed off into Indiana and doesn’t quite get to 1237. I don’t think when you get to the convention, if he’s close, that the party as a whole would want to risk alienating his voters by denying him the nomination or refusing to come up with the delegates to give it to him. Because they can’t afford to lose the number of voters they think they would lose if it had looked like he had been cheated."
