Halperin: Trump’s Utah Loss ‘Doesn’t Matter If He Keeps Winning’

‘He finished third, but it doesn’t matter if he keeps winning’

RUSH TRANSCRIPT: 
SCARBOROUGH: "That’s what I was going ask you. If somebody wakes up this morning looking at these results and wondering whether this makes an open convention more likely or not on the Republican side what’s your answer?"
HALPERIN: "Less likely because another series of contests have passed with the front-runners on a path to majorities and every contest that goes by that they’re not stopped they’re a step closer. Trump’s loss in Utah, you can explain in the a lot of ways. He finished third. But it doesn’t matter if he keeps winning and neither Cruz nor John Kasich can argue at this point they have — not just obviously to a majority but to stopping Donald Trump from the majority as he continues to consolidate not just delegates but support within the party and the electorate."
